Just got a new Mac computer with Catalina pre-installed, and was surprised to see
zsh: command not found: emacs
Of course, I can (and did) install it myself, but it used to be included by default.

- acomjean 6y agoIt used to be. But on a lot of default linux installs its not installed by default either. then you have to pick a emacs... https://askubuntu.com/questions/297170/how-to-install-emacs-24-3-on-ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/297170/how-to-install-emacs-... For some reason I now have 2 versions installed on my pop-os, (I know to pick the first one when I launch from a gui..) I love the editor, I really like the macros, and can move around and do my editing quick. but I've been using it 10+ years and have NO idea if I'm using it correctly. Certain modes aren't installed depending on and its just kinda obtuse. "Space emacs"? How do install a plug-in again.. where is my .emacs config file? is it init.el? ... sigh..
