Emacs adventures - a couple of things I’ve learned
- reedlaw 15y agoSite's down
- sverrejoh 15y agoIt seems to be up now, but maybe a bit slow?
- suivix 15y agoIn Emacs you often need to make Lisp macros for customizations. I love Emacs and have been using it daily for the last few years, but it's not newbie friendly. Making small tweaks can require extensive Google searching.
- thinkingeric 15y agoHe doesn't mention emacs-starter-kit, so as a community service, I'm pointing it out. I had used Emacs for a long time, and switching to this made my life much easier. And my customizations still worked fine (although I was able to remove many of them) https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit WARNING!!! The version in git is for Emacs 24. You will need to actually download the earlier version to use with Emacs 23.
- grandalf 15y agoMuch of the stuff in the starter kit (but not all of it) is actually in emacs24. Phil has been influential in making this happen, I think. I too got started using emacs with technomancy's starter kit. BTW I am not a fan of js2 mode based on my initial use of it, but perhaps I'll try the tweaks.
- ww520 15y agoOne way to learn Emacs is to study other people's .emacs files. The stuffs there usually address real world problems people facing. I always learn something new when looking at other .emacs files.
