As a regular Fedora GNU-Linux user I am used to gnome-editor. When I have to switch to Windows' side, it is invariably by accident. Here for instance to investigate some properties of the TPM 2.0 chip as reported in PowerShell in order to compare them as those I obtained on Linux's side. It appears that GNU Emacs strangely supports Windows. An opportunity to have the GNU spirit everywhere is through something I could not miss so I installed it, as v. 29.1.1. Nonetheless as per the content at https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/, "*Content-aware editing modes, including syntax coloring, for many file types*." an option dedicated to set the *coding language* is missing from the UI. The extension of the file I work with is *ps1*. I doubt Emacs knows how to determine that the expected code language is PowerShell as there is no syntax coloring. Also an observation that cannot be missed; the software lacks the option *Open a recent file*. Having to repeatedly specify the same path is without doubt not an option in modern software. It would be worth adding that option.. Regards.
