What I found was more or less: - there are workarounds to activate Emacs Keybindings in VS - emacs(client) can be configured as editor in VS (like it can be e.g. configured as editor in firefox) - emacs can be used (after setting quite a lot of environmental variables) to interact with the MSVS C++ compiler via the cmd line I'm really new to this C++ thing, so I would appreciate some tips about this topic, what can be done, what not, what is the state-of-the-art (some prominent links I found are really old, like 10 years or so, talking about Emacs 19...)? Are there actually C++ teams with both Emacs and Visual Studio users? I could imagine that e.g. in a Scala (SBT or Maven) project some programmers use Eclipse, others Emacs ENSIME, and they can happily co-exist, but would a similar co-existance be possible in a C++ project on Windows with Emacs and Visual Studio? -- cheers, Thorsten
