Sam Aaron's emacs setup with cake's swank is really really nice. It could possibly be combined with a cheatsheet for emacs' most needed keyboard shortcuts. May I also add that I found remapping some keyboard keys quite useful for a sane emacs lisp editing experience. It gives me 3 ctrl keys on the right and 3 ctrl keys on the left so I could basically use any of my fingers, pinky to thumb, for that often needed key (I've also remapped the meta/alt key to one that's tactilely distinguishable - 6 ctrl may seem a bit overboard but i prefer it this way). Remapping the parens too is possibly a good thing so they'd not require a shift and won't be a rather tiresome fourth keyboard row pinky affair, I've done it, but I haven't yet settled on where to put them. I'm not sure this remapping is needed for newbies, perhaps, perhaps not, depending on how annoying emacs finger acrobatics seem to them, but for the heavy duty use I'd probably recommend it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
