- CalChris 7y agoThe emacs bindings are fine (although I seem to recall hitting the escape key a lot). It's when you need to go past that and do power editing. I'm used to dropping into ex mode and using sed style regular expressions. Now I'm certain that there's a way to do that emacs. It's just that that was the point where I'd drift back to vim to get work done. I couldn't quite force myself to do things the emacs way.
- m463 7y agoI've always wondered how you pronounce that. Is it space-y-macs or is it like dr spaceman (spah-chem-uhn) in 30 rock. :)
- yellowapple 7y agoI've always pronounced it "space macs", both because that's intuitive and because it fits the original meaning of "EMACS" ("Editor MACroS", so "SPACE MACroS" in this case).
