If you or Emacs gets confused about what you are trying to type, use C-g (perhaps repeatedly) to cancel your current command and start fresh.Ī sequence of key combinations is written like C-a C-b M-x, which means do the three actions in sequence: Control and lower-case a, then Control and lower-case b, then Meta and lower-case x. The other Meta substitutes work as usual: hold while pressing the second key.)Įmacs might complain about Super if you get the wrong one. If none of these work, then for M-x, type and release Esc then type x.

Option (or maybe Command ⌘) on Mac keyboards.

Your keyboard lacks a Meta key, so Meta means: Such key combinations are denoted C-x ( Control- x) or M-x ( Meta- x). But we will not do that.Įmacs uses many key combinations involving the Control and Meta keys. This buffer runs in Lisp Interaction mode, which means that you can interactively type and evaluate expressions in the Emacs Lisp programming language.

There are many “special” buffers that do not correspond to loaded files.

There are modes for many programming languages that support special features like syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, and other extra language-specific commands. The most basic mode is Fundamental, which provides only the most basic Emacs editing features. The rest of the status flag indicates other information about file permissions, etc., that you are unlikely to encounter in this course.

The status flag shows whether the file has been changed (shows U:**-) or remains unchanged (shows U:-).

The mode line displays information about the buffer displayed in the current window.

The cursor is a rectangular block also called the point.

A buffer is a logical “text thing” that you are working on, typically the contents of a file. Emacs is showing the contents of a buffer within a window (or frame).To start a GUI application, know your key-bindings well and startĮmacs directly in the terminal with emacs -nw ( no If you using a command line interface with no option (or motivation) Immediately return control of the terminal to you. & tells the command line to open Emacs in the background and If you are working with a graphical user interface, start Emacs byĬlicking its icon or by running emacs & at the command line. Buttons and menus in the graphical version help when you are lost, but learn the key bindings (keyboard shortcuts) to find the true source of power. The first differences you will notice are the key bindings and the interface. Emacs is different than other text editors in many ways.

Entries to add to platformHTMLBindings.This document introduces Emacs. Note: User-controlled keybindings will be available once Bug 201011 (custom key bindings no longer possible) is fixed. Restart the browser for the change to take effect. Add the entries listed below, then repack the JAR file:Ĭopy the new JAR file back. Modify the file which will now be located at $WORKING_DIRECTORY/content/global/platformHTMLBindings.xml.

#Emacs key bindings archive

Unpack the JAR file with the Java Archive Utility (you can alternatively use unzip and zip -r instead of jar -xf and jar -cf): Move the JAR file to a working directory:

#Emacs key bindings install

Follow these steps, where $MOZILLA_HOME is replaced with your Mozilla/Firefox install directory and $WORKING_DIRECTORY is a directory you select: You may want to make a backup of this file in case anything goes wrong.

The simplest way to modify the file is to move the jar file to a working directory, unpack it, modify the desired file, then recompress the jar and replace the older one.

#Emacs key bindings update

You'll need to extract the existing file from the archive, modify it, then update the archive with the modified file. As of version 1.0.5 platformHTMLBindings.xml has moved inside the archive $MOZILLA_HOME/chrome/toolkit.jar ( content/global/platformHTMLBindings.xml within the JAR file).
