To help me get a feel for how much of my work I might be able to move into Emacs, I wondered if people might be willing to share how much of their work is done in Emacs. I am using Windows (for the time being at least), and I am not a programmer, but I will use Emacs as a front end for R. I am therefore interested in Emacs as a writing, information/time management tool etc. I have installed Org.mode and I am very impressed with this. As it is going to need a little bit of thought on how to structure my new Emacs world, I would appreciate any examples of how you use Emacs and hints on "best practice" with Emacs. So any comments would be gratefully received. Many thanks, Graham ------=_Part_12956_704780.1168472338100 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline I have just discovered Emacs and I now understand why people talk about living in Emacs.
