Booo! ;) (Should start learning a bit vi myself. never got to learn copy/paste, lost in documentation. a quick intro? Joel mentioned the 10 really important commands once, but did not explain them! ) Tuning Emacs: First, why loading the packages all the time? Ok, because apt-get does it, grrr. would be possible to write an seperate "load-all" script and call that only on demand. otherwise having a quick starting emacs. But better: There is is emacsclient (linux at least), which fires up a running emacs from the commandline. So put emacs in startup and have it later immediate. Here is my not so professional but working "e". it uses emacsclient when emacs is running. otherwise it starts emacs. without argument it opens a default-file. in emacs-config is (ffap-bindings) now c-x c-f opens file under cursor. current working files are at top n default file :) thinking about it, i could share that file with a rebol-editor.. #!/bin/sh if test -n "$1" then emacsclient --no-wait $@ || emacs --geometry 80x25+10+130 $@ & else emacsclient --no-wait ~/e/0top || emacs --geometry 80x25+10+130 ~/e/0top & fi -Volker -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject. -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
