[chromium-dev] Re: Which editor do you recommend on Mac OS X?
So I've officially switched to carbon emacs, and I'm loving it. Is there a way to launch a second instance - double-clicking the executable seems to just bring the original instance to the foreground. Feel free to tell me I'm Doing It Wrong, but when working on two trees simultaneously I like to open them in separate emacs instances so I don't accidentally make edits in the wrong tree. -atw On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 10:16 AM, Kenneth Russell wrote: > There's a Carbon-based, non-Aquamacs Emacs available for Mac OS X. > Recommended. > > http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsForMacOS > http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CarbonEmacsPackage > > -Ken > > On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 10:08 AM, Drew Wilson > wrote: > > I've been using Aquamacs, although I don't like the fact that it has *so > > many* modes built-in and turned-on by default, and I also don't like the > > fact that it doesn't lend itself well to customization (it has its own > set > > of initialization files it keeps hidden off).

If you want to delete multiple lines repeat the Shift-downarrow. Xcode has a whole UI in its prefs for editing the key bindings, and there are a bunch of 'secret' commands that aren't hooked up by default (or are bound to keystrokes so obscure you'd never discover them), such as cursor movement by sub-words (i.e. to the next capital letter.) > I also couldn't find an easy solution to automatically remove > trailing whitespace in Xcode.

In Carbon emacs, the command key works as Meta, and copying/pasting is integrated with the system clipboard.

Carbon Emacs makes the Alt key work right, and copy/paste to the system pasteboard works like I expect w/in emacs.

[chromium-dev] Re: Which editor do you recommend on Mac OS X?
I heartily recommend MacVim ( http://code.google.com/p/macvim/ ). I hear its fullscreen mode is pretty rad :-P Having said that, XCode – like most OS X apps – support some emacs keybindings. Your "Remove entire line" example is ctrl-a ctrl-k ctrl-k in XCode. I usually use some mix of MacVim and XCode.

[chromium-dev] Re: Which editor do you recommend on Mac OS X?
I've been using Aquamacs, although I don't like the fact that it has *so many* modes built-in and turned-on by default, and I also don't like the fact that it doesn't lend itself well to customization (it has its own set of initialization files it keeps hidden off). It's decent, though (but again, I've devolved over the years to using almost vanilla emacs bindings to allow moving to new platforms easier). I've also been known to use the built-in GNU emacs from a terminal shell (especially when working remotely/SSH-ing). I see no reason why you can't have the same experience that you do with your Linux box, although you'd have to find a way to drag the google3 elisp over. -atw On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 9:56 AM, Paweł Hajdan Jr. wrote: > Recently I started working more and more on Mac OS X, and I'm trying to > find an editor that would work the best for me. > > On Linux I used GNU Emacs with many customizations.
