Emacs is one of my main application so it is very important for me that all things are working as usual. Here my questions: - can I switch off menubar, toolbar and scrollbar? - is the look & feel approximately like GNU Emacs? - can I open file without popup dialog - simply with C-x C-f in minibuffer? - can I suppress all popup dialogs? - working M-w, C-w, C-y or must I use C-x, C-c, C-v? - can I switch off tabs? - working all this nice extension elisp packages from internet without any kind of adaptations? - what GNU Emacs features do not working in Aquamacs? In "Appendix F - Emacs and Mac OS" is written: "Emacs built on Mac OS X supports most of its major features except display support of PostScript images. The following features of Emacs are not supported on Mac OS Classic: unexec (`dump-emacs'), asynchronous subprocesses (`start-process'), and networking (`open-network-stream'). As a result, packages such as Gnus, GUD, and Comint do not work. Synchronous subprocesses (`call-process') are supported on non-Carbon build, but specially-crafted external programs are needed. Since external programs to handle commands such as `print-buffer' and `diff' are not available on Mac OS Classic, they are not supported. Non-Carbon build on Mac OS Classic does not support some features such as file dialogs, drag-and-drop, and Unicode menus." Is it still true for Aquamacs? - on which inconvenience and discomforts do I have to count? What is different to GNU Emacs? thanks for answers! regards Marc PS. Sorry for my english!
