AQUAMACS SET UP MAC
GNU Emacs was first been ported to the Mac by Andrew Choi, the Cocoa port was written by Adrian Robert and colleagues, and much Mac development of Emacs was done by Yamamoto Mitsuharu. GNU Emacs has a long history that began over forty years ago, primarily driven by the efforts of GNU founder Richard M. Many people have contributed directly and indirectly to Aquamacs, including those who wrote the bundled packages and, of course, Emacs itself. I checked the checkbox for the theme wombat, and then I clicked the Save Theme Settings button in the buffer. Project co-founder Kevin Walzer created easy-to-understand manuals. When I type M-x custom-themes, I am presented with a buffer listing about 15 custom themes that come with aquamacs. In the earlier stages of the project Nathaniel Cunningham contributed features such as native spell-checking and window tabs. Who made it? Aquamacs has been adapted from GNU Emacs by David Reitter, aided by enthusiastic users and Emacs experts and is now maintained by Win Treese. And all is built on GNU Emacs, so you can use your favorite Emacs packages! Check the Features section if you want to know more.
AQUAMACS SET UP INSTALL
It's easy to install and runs out-of-the box with no configuration. Aquamacs behaves like a modern application on Mac (or Windows) when it comes to selecting, copying, pasting texts within Aquamacs or in between applications. For instance, in addition to traditional Emacs shortcuts like C-x C-f (open a new file), Aquamacs understands Command-O. We support the standard Mac user interface that you've come to love. The big challenge: if you use a number of applications on your Mac, one of them is Emacs, you'll have to switch gears when you switch to Emacs.Īquamacs is better. One advantage of it is: no matter what operating system you run Emacs on, you'll always get the same interface. What's Emacs? Emacs is a text editor of legendary power and configurability, but it also has an enormously complex user interface. It is backed by two strong communities: Aquamacs users, and Emacs enthusiasts on all computing platforms (GNU/Linux/Unix, Windows, Mac).

The current maintainer of Aquamacs is Win Treese has been available for well over a decade and is used daily by thousands of academics, programmers, and authors. Most of the development on Aquamacs since its beginning in 2004 was done by David Reitter, based on GNU Emacs by Richard Stallman and many others. Yet, it comes with all the ergonomics and extensibility you've come to expect from GNU Emacs. In my personal opinion however, Emacs (with the help of the preview-latex and flyspell extensions) is one of the most advanced LaTeX editing environments available for the Mac. Aquamacs integrates with the Mac and offers the same comforts that any application on the Mac provides. by Coen de Roover Most old-school Mac users would never think of using something for their LaTeX editing needs that brings up so many images of command-line hacking as Emacs does. Aquamacs is a user-friendly build of the powerful Emacs text editor.
