You access them with chords using Control and Meta. Then there are the вЂњmost common commandsвЂќ. The most obvious function is вЂњinsert the key I just typedвЂќ where expected. Emacs started ad TECO macro in the вЂ™70 (1975 if IвЂ™m not wrong, and it had windows splitting the terminal real espace in areas, hence the вЂњframesвЂќ when it comes to graphiic UI, no invented CUA or HIG at that time, Unix tryed to suggest a standard for keybindings, but Emacs was ITS stuff and now is GNU stuff. It mostly depends on what a person is used to.Д®macs Keybinding are ancient. Right at the moment it is in my opinion the best Emacs version for the MacOS out there.

IвЂ™m really impressed by this project: in fact itвЂ™s enought Emacs you want get too confused if you are used to Emacs, but itвЂ™s also enought Mac you can use it along your other Mac applications, without having to rethink basic commands (if you donвЂ™t want to).

Last but not least, you can associate files with Emacs, so you can use it as a standard MacOS text editor to open files double clicking in the finder.This is probably one of the single features users that are not used to Emacs are going to hate, even if it makes perfectly sense in the Emacs way of working. Cut and paste works as you expected, so does deleting a text selection.

It uses MacOS fonts and locales and unicode characters appear to be handled correctly (not sure for full unicode, for european >7bit characters, it works). Probably a hardcore Emacs user is not going to like this (but probably he will prefer some other more standard version).

Frames are mapped to windows: when you open a file, you open it in a new window, and you can manage windows with Expose.

The nice thing was that you are able to use standard MacOS open and close dialogs, that is really nice.Д«ut there is something even more beautiful features: In fact you can find lot of informations in the wiki: Should you have troubles with copying and pasting text from outside into Emacs or vice-versa, try to use (setq x-select-enable-clipboard t) You do this with (setq mac-pass-option-to-system t)

Still you may want (and it is my choice) to allow Command-key to be used for mac key shortcuts, but you want to pass option/alt to the OS (so that you can use and other characters). The more logical choice is to use Command for meta, and leave alt as alt, to enter braces (and on american keyboards accents.). In my opinion if you are going to use Emacs, you expect to find Emacs key bindings. Meta, Apple/Command, Option keys are fully configurable. In fact I found out the flaw was in the user (me) who did not read the wiki. In fact this is a serious design flaw, in my opinion. So if you have a not english keyboard, you may not be able to type square brackets, for example. So Aquamacs uses standard Apple bindings.

Some of them are pretty standard, readline supports them by default (and so most command line applications do) and Cocoa controls also do (that is to say they work in any text editor.).Д«ut you are never going to convince a Mac user he has to ctrl-x ctrl-s to save or ctrl-x ctrl-c to quit. I told how weird do seem Emacs key bindings on MacOS (in fact they look odd everywhere outside Emacs).

I mean, probably if I discovered Aquamacs earlier (the first version I tried long time ago were вЂњnewвЂќ) I would not have bought it (even if once I was a vi fan - and in fact I still am, for some things).ДЄnd not because I donвЂ™t like TextMate anymoreвЂ¦ just because Aquamacs is free and is free software. Right now IвЂ™m just trying to convince myself that TextMate was worth 39$. In fact I already told Mac Emacs versions do seem to miss something, and this is the reason why I chose to buy TextMate (a cheap 39$ affair). Unfortunately enough this seems to be going to be a вЂњtext editor blogвЂќ, with BBEdit post, this post and almost finished post about TextMate.
