Emacs for editing, but= in the debugging phase use VS and make the hopefully small changes debuggi= ng would throw up through the VS editor. I would just keep exitting and re-starting emacs to ensure I got the edits = I had made in VS. Thanks for letting me know about autorevert. I'll try t= hat out. Sometimes, even during debugging, I'd find that the edits I wanted to make = were easier using Emacs. So I'd make the changes in Emacs, then I would cl= ose every file window in VS, save all the files open in Emacs, then tell VS= to rebuild everything! Not really much fun, but as Emacs is my favorite e= ditor by far,and VS my favorite debugger for Windows, I could not find a be= tter way.
