Using Emacs again
January 6th, 2009
Make up your F’ing mind Andy! Thanks to Ryan’s comments on my previous post, I’ve decided to revisit using Emacs as my editor. This time I’ll make the time to learn Elisp to really appreciate this editor.
There seems to be smart tab-completion everywhere (file finding, command finding, …), which is nice. And, Ryan’s blog “M-x all-things-emacs” is an excellent source for tips and links on Emacs. I particularly enjoyed his post “Giving ido-mode a Second Chance”. The referenced screencast really drove home the importance of having an editor with a great lower level of composable tools.
