What should current GNU Emacs users try?
FAQ - Ciaran O'RiordanYou should be using frames and abbrevs. Also check out the "desktop" feature. You should be answering mail with Emacs, probably with Gnus. Maybe registers as well, but I haven't started using them yet. Your .emacs should probably be 50 lines or more and should include a few simple functions attached to mode hooks etc.

Related QuestionsWhat should people know when beginning with GNU Emacs?
FAQ - Ciaran O'RiordanRTFM. Really, it's a great manual. Here's a list of commands that should allow you to use Emacs. The notation is pretty obvious, but it's explained in the manual anyway. M-w :Copy text between point and mark (point is the cursor. The selection is copied to the "kill ring"). M-y :cycle back through previous selection (try it after copying a few bits of text to see what I mean). C-h i :Go to Info mode (in Info mode, type m followed by a manual name, such as emacs to see that manual).
Related QuestionsYou often mention GNU, Emacs and Free Software. What's up with that?
BossBattle.net :: FAQThe free software movement is something I care deeply about. The idea is that users of software should have rights as well, the right to use software how they wish, the right to adapt the software to their needs and to share improvements for the benefit of the user community. Big, proprietary, monopolistic companies like Microsoft are making this difficult in today's world, but there are alternatives.

Related QuestionsDo you have a problem with GNU Emacs' C-x' command?
Apollo FAQGnu Emacs 18.55 (with Leonard N. Zubkoff's patches for SR10.2) seems to have a problem with shell subprocesses. At times the 0x0 character (displayed as ^@ by Emacs) appears in buffers running a shell. While this is only a nuisance running an inferior shell, it is a problem when running the M-x compile command: The C-x ' (next-error) function is unable to process the compiler output.
Related QuestionsQ1.0.5: Why Haven't XEmacs and GNU Emacs Merged?
Frequently asked questions about XEmacsThere are currently irreconcilable differences in the views about technical, programming, design and organizational matters between RMS and the XEmacs development team which provide little hope for a merge to take place in the short-term future. If you have a comment to add regarding the merge, it is a good idea to avoid posting to the newsgroups, because of the very heated flamewars that often result. Mail your questions to xemacs-beta@xemacs.org and bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu.
Related QuestionsQ1.6.2: How does XEmacs differ from GNU Emacs?
Frequently asked questions about XEmacs: IntroductionFor a detailed description of the differences between GNU Emacs and XEmacs and a detailed history of XEmacs, check out the User-Visible Editing Features XEmacs in general tries hard to conform to exist user-interface standards, and to work "out-of-the-box" without the need for obscure customization changes. GNU Emacs, particularly version 21, has gotten better about this (in many cases by copying the XEmacs behavior!), but still has some weirdnesses.
Related QuestionsQ1.6.5: What is the correct way to refer to XEmacs and GNU Emacs?
Frequently asked questions about XEmacs: IntroductionUnfortunately even the naming of these two applications has become politicized. Much of this stems from RMS, who has a history of politicizing similar issues. (Compare the controversy over "Lignux" and "GNU/Linux".) We would prefer that the terms "XEmacs" and "GNU Emacs" be used, which are neutral and acceptable to most people. RMS, however, is not willing to accept these terms.

Related QuestionsWhat is Debian GNU/Linux?
The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ - Debian??LFS??Gentoo?????? - Linux...Debian GNU/Linux is a particular distribution of the Linux operating system, and numerous packages that run on it. In principle, users could obtain the Linux kernel via the Internet or from elsewhere, and compile it themselves. They could then obtain source code for many applications in the same way, compile the programs, then install them into their systems. For complicated programs, this process can be not only time-consuming but error-prone.
