Even though it's a large and complex application in itself, Org mode is still "just" an Emacs "mode". Very roughly, that translates to an add-on/plug-in/extension for Emacs.
So you start Emacs first. Then within Emacs you either create or open an Org-mode file, that is, a plain text file with the ".org" extension. As soon as Emacs recognizes that it is editing an Org-mode file it "switches on" Org mode. The default cross-platform keystroke for "visiting" a file, as we say in Emacs-land, is C-x C-f. That is, hold down the Control key (*not* the Command key) and type first X then F. Then you follow the text prompts to type in the file name you want to open/create. However, if you're using a build of Emacs that is heavily customized for the Mac you may have the more intuitive Mac-standard keystrokes using the standard Mac file chooser: Command-N for "New...", Command-O for "Open", etc. On 11 November 2016 at 21:58, Matthew Pritchard <wintermute2...@icloud.com> wrote: > How do I get org mode to start in osx emacs? > -- Phil Hudson http://hudson-it.ddns.net Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) ID: 0x887DCA63
