[ORIGINAL-POST]
I would like to give "emacs" a try. Rather than learn pure "emacs" from
the start I would like to ease into it with "edt/tpu" customizations.
Can anyone tell me if this can be done and could someone provide the
customizations?
[THE-WINNER-IS]
The easiest solution to my question about getting started with "emacs" came
from Charles Johnson, thank you Charles.
[BEGIN-SOLUTION]
Hello, with the following file (named .emacs) in your home directory,
then emacs will operate in edt mode using the keypad etc. Of course,
there are a few differences, but I don't find many.
;; file .emacs
( tpu-edt )
;;;
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
(setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(setq-default fill-column 78)
;;;
;; Control-s and Control-q are used for flow control (Xon/Xoff flow control).
;; Disable emacs' use of these characters.
(global-unset-key "\C-s")
(global-unset-key "\C-q")
