Emacs running on Mac OS

Emacs running on Mac OS

[Alberto Simões]

Hello.

I just compiled emacs with the --with-ns option (cocoa). Trying to get
back to the origins. TextMate sucks :)

Now I have two main problems:

- The apple/command key does not work as meta/alt key. That would be a
beneffit. It would make it easier to type (the alt key in a macbook
pro is misplaced ;))

- When activating flyspell mode, things get SLOW. Is there any way to
fix that? I am now sure if it is ispell/aspell fault, or if it is a
rendering problem.

Thank you
Alberto

Check the preferences pane – it's a Mac application!

I am getting some problems accessing the preferences pane:

    Symbol's function definition is void: ns-popup-prefs-panel

Any hints on what it might be happening?

Thanks
Alberto

As already found by others on the list, the preferences pane has gone  
one or two months ago. See nextstep/ChangeLog.

OK. Then, why in hell is the shortcut still invoking it? :-/

And now, where we change the keyboard behaviour? Directly on Emacs
configuration?

Thank you

Someone made an error/forgot to change a thing. You should report  
this bug!

 From the menu, as already mentioned on this list.

I use

(when (eq window-system 'ns)
  (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)
  (setq mac-option-modifier 'none))

I can't help with your second problem.
