What? Discovery in Emacs is amazing; all the API is a keystroke away.
Do you mean something else?
- gegtik 6y ago*discovery for laymen
- otabdeveloper4 6y agoEmacs tells you to hit "Ctrl-h" when you start it. The documentation for Emacs is about as good as you can get for a software product. (Now let's talk about Excel if you want to discuss discoverability issues.)
- gegtik 6y agoSorry to come at this late but there's discoverability-by-doing and I think it's clear from general user feedback that emacs doesn't have it. I agree it's very well documented, and I assume your impulse upon reading the previous paragraph is to tell me there's a REPL. it's simply not casually approachable. sorry. ask someone who isn't drowning in koolaid!
