   I'm a bit of a stuck record on this issue but my opinion is that the first thing that someone new to Emacs should learn is how to change key bindings. The rough guide line being that Vim key bindings should never be changed but Emacs key bi

   I don't know how some people do it either. My excuse is I have a full-time job, a wife and two kids but then there's people in similar situations like me that accomplish things on the scale of what fogus did... I do like to relax and do no

   I've done and learned a lot this year but I've never been much of a books and paper reader. Perhaps you've done more constructive things than just eating Cheetos behind the TV? (And even if not, I hope you at least enjoyed it?)

   If you're not totally against using Emacs: it has Vi(m) emulating modes so you can at least try org-mode out and perhaps port it to vi if you happen to like it.

   A solid lisp implementation could be easily ported everywhere. I think this would’ve been my choice had I not found Lua. While I'm a total Common Lisp fanboy a solid Lisp implementation is not easily ported everywhere. It's perhaps e

   That is quite the assumption to make, given the vastness of our universe. Not so much of an assumption. You also have to take into account the speed at which the Voyager satellites are traveling and how far they will get before the heat

   Ah yes, all the Perl special variables! I actually did get scoffed at at work for using "use english" (while taking care it didn't affect regexps).

    I'm passionate about the class but I also have to juggle it with a new job and family life which made approaching the class casually the best option for me. So their metric isn't ideal for identifying passionate poeple ;-)

    There's probably some kind of law in there. My browser history is Mosaic -> Netscape -> Galeon -> Firefox [1] everytime jumping to a new slender browser since the old one got too bloated or too old. Firefox lost its slenderness

    Came here to say this and I accidentally bought the basics version instead of the more extensive one. Oh well, I really liked the YouTube videos so the author more than deserves it. It's just that those obvious price hikes get under my

    This isn't a really helpful reply since I still have to set it up myself, but I noticed Homebrow has got Auctex although it needs to install the full TeX distribution as well.

    Emacs (and Vim as well IIRC) can run shell commands against selections of text so just read the files in there. http://www.masteringemacs.org/articles/2011/10/19/executing-...

    Emacs can be pretty graphical depending on the mode (see Latex preview for AUCTex mode for example) but you're also right: I don't think Markdown mode supports the more advanced features you just mentioned. (I wouldn't use Markdown for the

    I don't like mentioning Emacs every time there is an article about another editor but as expected it does have a markdown-mode (inline). I use it but AFAIK it is a seperate download. Check the Emacs Wiki.

    I used Vim for a quite a few years before switching to Emacs and I was fairly proficient at it. Although similar to Unix and Emacs it would take a lifetime or more to know everything about it. I still use Vi(m) today when logged in to a re

    Armchair psychology: I think vi users have a more "Unix mindset" as in a program should do one thing and do it well. While Emacs users want to do everything in Emacs (browse the net, walk directories, use shells, edit movies, etc. etc.) The

    Yup, but you can also put Bash in a vi mode. Some else will to chip in with the exact incantation, since I'm on my phone now.
