emacs

emacs is a great text editor. It is even better than ed.

both jrollins and dkg use emacs quite a bit. Our notes about this tool will spin off of this page.

• entering accented characters in emacs
• Keyboard Macros

gnus

dkg uses gnus as his MUA within emacs. It has the wonderful capability of being able to unify multiple sources of data as messages.

• getting RSS feeds to work in gnus

trac interaction

• trac-wiki-mode -- lets you integrate trac and emacs directly, and provides font-lock-mode for the trac wiki syntax.
