[Orgmode] ErgoEmacs

[Don Womick]

Hi all,

I've just found ErgoEmacs (http://ergoemacs.org), another Emacs distribution
for Windows that tries to make Emacs easy to use for ordinary users... and
it does so: I was able to use it immediately, with all the standard Windows
shortcuts--the only things that tripped me up briefly were the file commands
(C-xf moved to C-o and C-xw moved to C-w), and that they moved M-x to M-a
(M-x now cuts the entire line). This looks like a distro that might ease the
learning curve enough to drive more widespread adoption of Emacs (and
org-mode!): it really does seem to be as easy to use as Notepad right out of
the box, yet doesn't take away any of the power of Emacs (as far as I can
tell, except that I did have to load an org-mode file before capture would
work, but that may be a setup problem on my part). If you're on Windows,
take a look and see what you think... and for org newbies on win32, I think
this is the version I would recommend.

[Orgmode] Re: ErgoEmacs

Whoops, C-w is close-buffer; save is C-s.

Other keys that have moved:

C-space to M-space
C-n to M-k
C-p to M-i
C-f to M-l (lowercase L)
C-b to M-j
C-s to M-; (M-; to M-')
C-r to M-S-;

These seem reasonable, though radically different from what an Emacs user is
used to... but for someone new to Emacs, they are much better than the Emacs
defaults, in my opinion. My fingers will need some retraining, though :)
