New Emacs

Filed under: — sven @ 18:53 GMT

I’ve been using GNU Emacs built from CVS at work. About once a month I update the files and rebuild. Today I rebuilt it, first time since 2005-11-30, and space no longer does file name completion, tab does. When I think about it this is a better idea, but I’ve been hitting space since Widener, when Gopher was popular.

My Dad quit smoking, after pneumonia and a week of almost never getting out of bed because felt like crap. I guess I can switch from space to tab.

  1. Sometime soon I expect the behavior under X11 to change, requiring you to explicitly copy something after highlighting it. That’ll make it match everything else I’m using under KDE, and cure me from the random expletive when I discover I’ve accidentally selected everything in a buffer and just pasted the whole damn thing into my terminal. Of course, perhaps by then I’ll not be doing stuff on the command line any more either.
