[Trisquel-users] Re : What are your favorite command-line programs?

The advantage of running Emacs in a graphical frame is that you can display  
images in it (I sometimes edit some SVG by hand and want to see the result:  
C-c C-c) or, even more useful for whoever write documents, PDFs (I split the  
screen vertically with C-x 3, have the LateX on the left, the PDF on the  
right). In a real terminal, you can use the mouse (after installing the "gpm"  
package) but not in a terminal emulator (i.e., in a X session). The mouse is  
sometimes convenient (e.g., when rereading correcting typos).
