To answer your first question: I have the following line in my .emacs: (setq mac-input-method-mode nil) which disables the native Mac input method by default. I'm glad you asked the question because it forced me to solve a problem I'd been living with for a while: in a previous version of Aquamacs the variable was 'mac-inline-input-method-mode' and at some point it changed and broke my .emacs. (I should probably read the recent changes more carefully, but who has the time?!) As for your second question, I'm not sure I have a very satisfying answer. When I started using Mac a little over two years ago, I tried a number of different Emacsen. (I had been using XEmacs prior to that time.) I didn't like the look of XEmacs on the mac, nor that of most X apps -- forgive my superficiality! -- so I finally settled on two: Aquamacs and the Carbon Emacs of Zenitani-san. In terms of the functionality that I desire (VM, AUCTeX and the ability to create documents in a variety of scripts, including Japanese), both are more or less equivalent and the only reason I can think why I have come to use Aquamacs rather than Carbon Emacs is that David Reitter, the main Aquamacs developer, happens to be at my university! Not a very good reason, but a reason nonetheless. Cheers, José --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Carbon Emacs" group mailing list.
