EMacro is a portable .emacs
that
configures itself. These are EMacro's help
documents. EMacro works best with the leading edge
libraries in EMacro Libs.
With every new and different task, you end up having to learn a new and different editor. One for XML on Mac OS, another for Perl on Unix.
Fortunately, Emacs and the similar XEmacs editing systems can handle most such tasks you throw at them. Some users go beyond this, using Emacs for a consistent, Unix-like shell, for searching and moving files, checking mail and news, etc.
Others are daunted by the power of Emacs. Your local bookstore might not carry books on elisp programming, necessary to setup Emacs beyond the basics.
EMacro prompts you once only, with a few questions,
then adapts a customization file called .emacs
in your
HOME
directory. EMacro sets sane
defaults for you, with no programming.
While Emacs now bundles cua for familiar C-x = cut
functionality, EMacro includes keythemes to
better match keystroke/keybinding standards of other programs in your Gnome,
KDE, Mac or MS Windows environment.
Just select Options -> Customize Emacs -> Browse Customization
Groups from the Emacs menu.
Using the mouse [2] middle button, expand + widgets, and to select an
e-keytheme, then restart:
[-]-\ Group Emacro | [-]-\ Group E Keys | | `--- Option E Keytheme
It's even easier with XEmacs: choose Options -> Advanced
(Customize) -> Emacro -> E Keys -> E Keytheme
from the menu.
If you haven't seen Emacs lately, it is now much easier to compile, and to
learn. If you can't figure it out from the menus, there is a built-in
tutorial. If you don't see the tutorial in the splash screen, simply type
C-h t
('Control h' then 't')
Since you now only need to know one editor, you can spend your time mastering it, rather than relearning a new system. These pages will help you find the tools you need, from what may be the largest library around. Enjoy!
