Of course, everybody should be using Emacs-type editors...I would never use
anything else ;^)
Which emacs editor do people use for pc's? I know of only two: MicroEmacs and
Freemacs. I find Micro-Emacs kind of buggy (I cannot redefine ^U-- try it;
the functions have different names than emacs, eg, bind-to-key vs
global-set-key) and Freemacs has a wierd extension language (mint). Which of
these two emacs-like editors (assuming only two) do most people prefer?
(either email or post an opinion and I will post a summary)
Since I have totally redefined my keys from the normal emacs bindings, I
cannot use an editor which does not allow me to redefine the keys. So I do not
consider an emacs-type editor which does not allow me to redefine the keys to
be an emacs-type editor. At this point I use MicroEmacs but it only supports
two keymaps: ^X and ^[. What about Freemacs? Does it support multiple
keymaps? If so then I would appreciate it if someone were to send me a sample
mint source for Freemacs which redefines some keys and things. In addition,
does Freemacs blink matching {}[]() like emacs and does it have a C-mode?
Thanks,
