Learning GNU Emacs

by Debra Cameron

"This edition has been completely revised and expanded to meet the evolving needs of Emacs users, from beginner to advanced. Learning GNU Emacs includes updated support for C++, Lisp, Perl, SQL, and Java language modes, including the Java Development Environment for Emacs (JDEE)." "Learning GNU Emacs shows you how to customize Emacs interactively through a feature called Custom, as well as through tweaking your startup file. This book helps you tailor Emacs to both your data and your work flow. You'll learn how to use syntax highlighting, how to edit columns of data, how quick macros eliminate repetitive work, how to manage large projects using version control, Ediff, and etags, and how to organize files and directories."--BOOK JACKET.
