You're responding to a vim/emacs comparison so I'll be the first to say you dont need to use the mouse in emacs just as you don't need it in vim. Hit ctrl-space to start a select. Move the cursor until your text is highlighted (you can skip to line if you know the number, also easy in emacs with setnu+), and then hit tab.
- ichverstehe 18y agoI didn't realize. I'm sure I saw a 'select with the mouse' somewhere in there. I didn't.
- j2d2 18y agoYou can select with a mouse too. In my opinion, if you're using Emacs OR Vim you've already won. Apples and oranges, sure, but still fruit where notepad is kinda like a big mac.
