An Emacs convert from Vi.. Tried Viper on Emacs. I could not handle the fact that many of the packages seem to show a little behavioral quirks .. So, Gave up and learned the emacs key strokes. I love it..
I used to use XEmacs before but for some reason I some how felt emacs-21.1 was better and now living with it..
Now I am back on XEmacs. XEmacs seems to handle ClearType? fonts correctly. GNUEmacs, well, doesn’t.
http://www.gbvsoft.com/resource.html has a couple of tools for emacs. Will add more to it as time goes on.
I have not been able to download any .el from this site.. Is there a place where I can see how to setup my browser (if it’s my browser’s problem) to download that thing?
Thanks Alex. I tried everything but it just would not work. Would it be very hard to write some sort of a script within Wiki to show the el code within a Text box so that it can be copied over .. I had similar problems while putting up the .el files on my site. So, I had to rename them as .el.txt and that solved the problem.. Oh well,..
That is an excellent idea. I could get that together. At last, I can actually access this stuff. I will publish this thing on the main page as well. Because, there might be others who might be having issues on downloading the data.
I have started hanging out at #emacs at IRC (InternetRelayChat) as gbvb or gbvb[home].. :)
Since I could not put this anywhere else, here is where it will probably endup. This is a Poor mans “properties” mode. This is to highlight some of the stuff on the properties files usually used with Java development to store away some application specific entries.
(define-generic-mode 'poor-man-properties-mode
'("#")
'("=" "{" "}" "\\")
'(("^\\(.*\\)[\t ]*=[\t ]*\\(.*\\)" 1 'font-lock-keyword-face )("^\\(.*\\)[\t ]*=[\t ]*\\(.*\\)" 2 'font-lock-string-face ))
'("\\.properties\\'")
nil
"Major mode for very simple properties highlighting.")This is a GenericMode extension. so remember to add ‘generic-x to your list of stuff loaded.
