``
In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at Chicago Airport for take-off to New Orleans (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane. After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans.''
Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free. He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it. Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not follow their own stupid rules.

The script I linked was posted in 2002, I don't know when Emacs copied that from Vim, but it's got to be way later.

No, writing Tetris for an editor is inane. Just because Emacs has some stupid feature, it doesn't make Vim any more impressive because it too has that stupid feature. Stop trying to validate your choice of editor. Chances are that nobody cares.
If nobody else has any Emacs tips left to post then the rest of this thread is stupidity and low self-esteem.

I can post Vim tricks: au BufNewFile,BufRead ~/tabssuckproject/*.[ch] set expandtab
au BufNewFile,BufRead COMMIT_EDITMSG set syntax=diff
Make Emacs only scroll far enough to keep the point on the screen: (setq scroll-margin 0) ; Scroll when point is 0 lines from edge
(setq scroll-conservatively 2)

Automatically resize temporary buffers to use not more space than needed. (setq temp-buffer-resize-mode t)
>>34
You might also like this. It will hide the compilation buffer when the compilation finished without errors. (defun compilation-buffer-resize (buffer string)
(cond ((string-match "finished" string)
(bury-buffer buffer)
(delete-windows-on buffer)
(t
(fit-window-to-buffer (get-buffer-window buffer) (/ (- (frame-height) 2) 2))))))
How do you change the color of filename which is displayed at the titlebar?
I'm having trouble reading it.
any help will be appriciated.
thanks!

Want some examples in an attempt to get us to the issue of WYSIWYG editing has come up This is a thread And saging a thread pushes it down and starts clapping her hands together see this is where the output and input are generated About the only thing.

Richard Stallman couldn't recommend OpenBSD as a fully free operating system, because a requirement is that it can't have non-free software in it's repository, or recommend non-free software. Only a small list of (Gnu/)Linux distributions are officially recommend by the FSF. Most, including Slackware, Debian, and Ubuntu are not.
A lot of the work to support Emacs (and other Gnu software) on windows was done by a third party, cygnus solutions. The first "freedom" of free-software is that you can run the software however you want, including running it on an operating system the author doesn't approve of.
But that's irrelevant, because I would never use OpenBSD, anyway. They act like 13 year-olds on their mailinglists, this is illustrated by the fact that some butthurt dev came on some random thread about emacs to cry. It's often proclaimed by the OpenBSD team that their precious operating system is secure, though it's anything but, http://allthatiswrong.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/the-insecurity-of-openbsd/ Only good thing that came out of OpenBSD was OpenSSH.
Does anyone know of an M-x glasses-mode equivalent for Vim? It's a feature I always wanted to try out because it would improve code readability but couldn't find an alternative to it.
>>53
I am trying but that entails reading code written by others.
>>54
I would, if my paycheck didn't depend on it right now.

because he knows without windows support the software is worth much less. What does sound more important: Emacs a linux toy vs multiplatform editor 'EMACS'.
>>57
Emacs was fifteen years old before Torvalds even started working on the Linux kernel. Anyone who would have called it ``a Linux toy'' before the addition of Windows support wouldn't have started calling it multi-platform afterwards, because they wouldn't have a clue what the term means.
