This is more minimal than emacs-starter-kit and prelude. It's intentionally
meant really to just be a skeleton with just a few defaults, and with the
readme functioning as a comprehensive reference.

Note: it's not on my repo, I handed it off to @pd since he's the only other
person I know who uses emacs, and I couldn't stop editing it.

Hi.  A few comments:

  - C-h t (not C-x h) starts the tutorial; C-x h runs mark-whole buffer.

  - Personally, I find the choice of mapping meta to alt/option and cmd
    to super odd; cmd is the easier key to hit and meta's used way more
    often.  Perhaps though I've been doing it that way for too long.

  - I'd consider binding M-` to other-frame (C-x 5 o), since that's how
    other OS X apps work.

Nice you took the time to put all that together, it seems like a lot of
effort.

k.

1) Oops, that was due to a half-finished copy/paste.

2) That's just the default mapping on Mac OS X; a friend recommended that I
do (setq ns-command-modifier 'meta ns-alternate-modifier 'super
ns-function-modifier  'hyper) which I've been trying out for about 20
minutes now, and it seems easier on my fingers already.

3) That's already bound by default on Mac OS X.

Thanks :)

I'm planning to this in its own github-organization, does anyone want to be
added as a committer?

Please, use another lists for announces. You can found appropriate at:

  http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsMailingLists
                Emacs wiki about mail Emacs lists

This one is more suitable for your purpose:

  http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources
                Emacs source code posts only.

Also your 'using-emacs' project is very MacOS oriented. And have a lot of
"Super" key binding, which doesn't available to MS Windows and Linux users
without extra configuration steps...

In any case simple query like this:

  https://www.google.com/search?q=my+dot+emacs
  https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3A.emacs

take a ton of .emacs files with ready to copy/paste code.

Also this page have links to .emacs of "well know" people:

  http://emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryDotEmacs

================================================================

PS. My point that anyone can found high quality .emacs files through Emacs
Planet, Github, Emacs blogs, Google, etc
