Emacs Shortcuts and Mac Menus?
Submitted by on Sunday, 4 December, 2005 - 03:30
I'm trying jEdit out -- I typically use emacs as my text editor.
I can't find any emacs key bindings, and when I try to manually change the shortcuts in the global options, the dialog will not accept a keystroke containing ctrl or opt (alt); it will only accept the cmd key as a meta key. Is there any way to get ctrl-based shortcuts on Mac OS X? Is there an easy way to configure jEdit for emacs key bindings (e.g. Ctrl-E to move to the end of the line, etc)?
Also, I tried using the included Mac OS X Setting plugin to use a Mac-style menubar at the top of the screen, but it is still in the jEdit window. I've checked/unchecked the checkbox and restarted jEdit multiple times, but I still have a menubar in the application window. Am I missing something?
