Emacs Expert Kit
What is it?
The emacs expert kit is for people who wants to experience an advance
setup of emacs. It includes the following software:
- auctex a package that supports writing and formatting TeX files
- bbdb the big brother database keeps people information like a rolodex
- dictionary a simple dict client, I use it to find definition of
english word
- elim a chat client that support MSN, Yahoo, etc...
- emms a music player
- ert a unit testing framework
- google maps display google maps
- haskell a mode to program in haskell
- lookup useful for looking up Japanese definition
- magit a git front end
- muse a web publishing tool, I use it for my web site
- newsticker a RSS feed reader
- nterm alpha software, it has a dedicated page
- org organization software
- slime hack the good hack in lisp
- w3m a text web browser
- wget download file from w3m
Installation
It's very easy to setup, just download emacs-expert-kit.tar.bz2, go to
your home directory. If you already have an .emacs.d you might want to
rename it.
cd ~
tar xjf emacs-expert-kit.tar.bz2
If you are using windows you will probably want to install
winpack. It's optional but you'll get a better experience, things like
w3m, lookup, emms will just work.
Documentation
The only documentation is the source code: hg.tar.bz2.
You'll want to take a look at keymap.el. In general I use M-k as a
prefix for coding stuff and M-i for language. I use M-j for local
mode. All my customization are in the init folder.
