question for greg, and other emacs users: i've started using xemacs after reading the evangelism of yourself (grog) and others. so far, it's great. do you take the purist view, and run it in console mode so that you use the same keystrokes whether running it locally or remotely? or do you run it in x mode, to take advantage of the 'better' key mappings and extra features, then just 'change mental mode' when you switch to a remote session? for example, using sticky-modifiers and being able to use my 'alt' key is great in xemacs. but in console mode, this does not work as well, and i also have to reach for the esc key, which really cuts down on efficiency. any thoughts? jcm -- "I drank WHAT ?!" - Socrates To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
