Hey folks, I am just getting back into Emacs, coming from Textmate, and thought I would see if anybody has any cool tricks to share. In the 2 days i''ve been hacking around I have been aww struck many times. predictive-mode for one blew my mind. And rails reloaded along with rinari-minor-mode are very cool. Just 3 examples of cool things. Emacs is so powerful!! But it is almost too powerful that you can loose yourself in it. So rather than diving in blind, I thought I would try the collective mind first. I would love for this to turn into a long thread of useful pointers and tips that will make us all better. P.S. Please no flame wars... I know it can be a touchy subject. Personally, I have every editor out there; and if editor X does something great; then I''ll do it in editor X, until I find a way to do it in my favorite editor. Currently, I prefer Textmate, but use emacs for the sheer power. Why can''t anybody just combine the Textmate UI with the emacs back end?? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It''s worth noting the "emacs starter kit" stuff on github. https://github.com/search?type=Everything&language=&q=emacs+starter I''ve got an Aquamacs flavored one (there are some forks of it, too), listed there. It''s based on other Rubyists starter kits that are more ".emacs" based. Cheers, Walter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

My first suggestion is to try org-mode if you haven''t already. If you have already looked at it, but haven''t given it a try, then now is the time! Org-mode offers a lot of functionality, but you can easily learn it a little bit at a time. There are also a good list of tips here: http://www.masteringemacs.org/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
