I've been trying (and failing) to get back into using Emacs for ten years. However back when I did (before I learned and switched to vi) I used to use graphical mode exclusively, for three reasons: better colour support (I guess mostly addressed now); non-fixed width font support; finally, some keyboard shortcut combinations I wanted to use aren't supported in terminals (variations on alt/ctrl tab iirc) Mouse and keyboard combined are a very rich UI, one does not need to limit oneself to pointing and clicking on menus with a mouse to use it effectively. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
