Where Are The Wise Men?

So I got to thinking over a short break from work (and blogging) that I should re-evaluate my Emacs usage on OSX. Aquamacs’s latest is based on Emacs 22 and I’ve been doing more and more tweaks of Emacs at work to try to get it like my TextMate setup at home.  There are a few things that I don’t like about TextMate,like having to use the mouse when you are loadingwe a new file.

I have spent some time last night and this morning trying to get my Emacs setup like my TextMate, so I can do 95% of the thing I do in Emacs that I do in TextMate.  I’m not quite there yet, but here are the things I enabled/downloaded to get things going.  And, yes, the fact that I had to download extra packages for Aquamacs and not for TextMate does give TextMate a +1.

• Blogging with Markdown
• Icicles, i.e. mega-buffer and command management
• Skeleton Pairs

This is my first post using Aquamacs, with weblogger and Markdown. And it failed — I ended up copying and pasting it into WordPress’s admin.

And thus the smackdown begins . . .
