I wonder whether it is such a good idea to make Emacs look-and-feel the default on Unix: Back in the old days, it may have been reasonably to assume that an average Unix user would be used to Emacs keybindings. In the days of KDE and Gnome, many of the key- and mouse bindings are converging towards something that is much more similar to Windows than to Emacs. The average Unix user may not even have used Emacs before, but is certainly used to the Windows bindings. The chance that he/she discovers the preference setting to Windows bindings before struggling through learning the "new" Emacs behavior are not very good. A classical Emacs addict is much more likely to accept Windows behavior at the first encounter of TeXmacs and then may be positively surprised that the program even offers Emacs bindings. _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
