What You Can Learn From ido.el. Bill Clementson's Blog: My Clojure Emacs Setup (I'll s. Emacs package manager. The auto-install code below will download package.el and the url package (if you need it), will edit your .emacs to initialize the package manager on future invocations of Emacs, and will finally initialize the package manager in your currently running Emacs. There are two sets of instructions, depending on what version of Emacs you are using. If you are using Emacs 22, you already have the needed url package, and you can eval this code: (let ((buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously " (save-excursion (set-buffer buffer) (goto-char (point-min)) (re-search-forward "^$" nil 'move) (eval-region (point) (point-max)) (kill-buffer (current-buffer)))) If you don't know what "eval" means, it means that you should copy this into your *scratch* buffer, move your cursor just after the final closing paren, and type C-j.
If you are running Emacs 21, you will need the external wget utility. [Trac] [ot] Python IDE recommendations? Emacs wiki. Emacs Starter Kit. The Craft of Text Editing emacs. -by- Craig A.

EMACS: The Extensible, Customizable Display Editor. This paper was written by Richard Stallman in 1981 and delivered in the ACM Conference on Text Processing. EMACS(1) is a real-time display editor which can be extended by the user while it is running. Extensibility means that the user can add new editing commands or change old ones to fit his editing needs, while he is editing. EMACS is written in a modular fashion, composed of many separate and independent functions. The user extends EMACS by adding or replacing functions, writing their definitions in the same language that was used to write the original EMACS system.
Extensibility makes EMACS more flexible than any other editor. A coherent set of new and redefined functions can be bound into a library so that the user can load them together conveniently. User customization helps in another, subtler way, by making the whole user community into a breeding and testing ground for new ideas. Background: Real-Time Display Editors A real-time display editor has (primarily!) Customization. Scheme resources.
