Emacs for All, All for Emacs
It has been a long time since I began working with emacs, one of the greatesteditors in Linux systems. It is really hard for a beginner to learn how to useit, especially for those who are addicted to the GUI, using emacs means that allthe work done by clicking the mouse before is replaced by the various keystrikes. I can still remember I had a difficult time adjusting to emacs, but Itturns out that the more I learn about emacs, the more I feel I need to learn.Nearly all the work can be done under it (with the help of numerous plug-ins),So, in this article, I will record my emacs configuration and the useful toolsI find during the past two years of using emacs. I do this because I want tohave an easy time next time when I re-install the OS, or I can easily set upthe familiar environment when I work with others somewhere not on my owncomputer.
As always, I will take the Q&A form of writing styles, to make it clean andsimple, most of all, make it useful to not only myself but the vast majoritywho are using emacs.
