While I have not looked at it yet, such customization sets might be desirable to be available in the core Emacs. And there are also things like "Aquamacs" which change a lot of default settings. Having those available as a single theme which the user can use all at once without losing his own customizations seems desirable. --=-=-= Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Newsgroups: comp.emacs Subject: Announcing Easymacs: an all-in-one Emacs configuration for newbies From: public@heslin.eclipse.co.uk Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2005 10:03:05 +0100 Message-ID: <87acl86wty.fsf@heslin.eclipse.co.uk> MIME-Version: 1.0 Easymacs is an easy-to-learn, one-size-fits-all configuration for new users of GNU Emacs. It sets up key bindings that conform to a common denominator of the Gnome/KDE/OS X/Microsoft Windows human interface guidelines, and provides function-key bindings for other powerful Emacs features. It is fully documented, and the new user can productively edit text right away, without going through the Emacs tutorial. Many commonly-used functions can be accessed without having to learn the "chords", or multiple keystrokes that Emacs uses by default. http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Emacs/Easymacs/ Peter --=-=-= -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum --=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel --=-=-=--
