I only write that because that's the version I use and I've got no real drive to maintain Emacs Live for all versions of Emacs. However, it *should* work with Emacs 23, and I'll be happy to help out by answering questions if there are issues, but it's nothing I'm going to actively work on to ensure compatibility. TL;DR My Emacs setup: If you're interested, I happen to run a terminal hosted Emacs which I installed via homebrew: brew install emacs --use-git-head --HEAD Also, I run Emacs as a server and then connect to it via emacsclient. This allows me to use Emacs as a commit editor when I use the git command on the console. For example: git commit -v will open up Emacs as the editor to write the commit message and to also view the diff. If I wasn't running Emacs as a server, then this would have to load up a new Emacs instance which isn't the speediest thing in the world. With a server already running, it's as fast as vim to load up :-) To run Emacs as a server you need to pass the daemon flag: /usr/local/bin/emacs --daemon I then alias emacsclient to emacs in my zsh profile: alias emacs="/usr/local/bin/emacsclient -ct" Now, if you want to edit a specific file, you can type: emacs foo.clj and it will open up via emacsclient in an instant. In order to use the emacsclient as a shell editor for tools like git, you need to bind emacsclient to the EDITOR variable: export EDITOR='emacsclient -ct' Hope this helps, Sam -- http://sam.aaron.name -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
