Just for fun... Not everyone knows this, but Emacs can be your psychiatrist. If you haven't tried it yet, take a look at "doctor" https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsDoctor ___ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I've written whole books using Emacs as my editor, and it's ability to handle unicode (and thus, foreign scripts) has been a Godsend. I've mentioned a couple of times that I live in Taiwan, and Emacs has great Chinese-input capabilities - superb for editing the html pages on my bilingual website. Kudos to all the folks who have worked on Emacs through the years. ___ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Looks like one of these useless features in Emacs, given the number of pdf viewers, or is it that Emacs wants to become a DE by itself. I read once it can also send mails, and it can act as an IDE. I use it only to edit files - and for Dr psychologist :-) Didier Emacs is not trying to be a development environment; it always was one. Emacs is an excellent user interface, development environment, and desktop for ancient, text-only terminals. That's what it was for back in the day. That's what it still is. But people seem to be able to afford better terminals these days. I mostly use it in an xterm, with the -nw option. I'm old-fashioned. ___ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
