Hi brilliant people,
I covet IDLWAVE. For instance, I'm tired of typing
if(n_elements(n) gt 0) then begin
But, my transition to Emacs has been rocky. Well, it's perhaps better
described as "quite smooth but also quite incomplete." I use VIPER,
which, if you don't know, stands for "VIper is a Package for Emacs
Rebels." (http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/gnu/emacs/viper_toc.html). It
seems I just can't give up intuitive keystrokes like :.,.+5s/^/; ,
although I'm sure there is an equivalent stream of gibberish that
accomplishes that in native Emacs.
I work in two modes: I use Xemacs on my windows box, and I use Xemacs
on a Linux box through Reflection, using the windows box as a terminal.
So, basically, Windows denies me the ALT key, and Viper denies me the
ESC key.
Is there any trickery I can employ to get around this?
