This emulation was widely distributed as the file edt.ml +;; in the maclib directory of most Emacs distributions. +;; +;; My emulation consists of two files: edt.el and edtdoc.el. The edtdoc.el file +;; is the documentation, that you can add to the beginning of edt.el if you +;; want. I have split them because I have been loading the edt.el file a lot +;; during debugging. +;; +;; I will gladly take all criticisms and complaints to heart, and will fix +;; what bugs I can find. As this is my first elisp hack, you may have to +;; root out a few nasties hidden in the code. Please let me know if you +;; find any (sorry, +;; no rewards :-). I would also be interested if there are better, +;; cleaner, faster ways of doing some of the things that I have done. +;; +;; You must understand some design considerations that I had in mind. +;; The intention was not really to "emulate" EDT, but rather to take advantage +;; of the years of EDT experience that had accumulated in my right hand, +;; while at the same time taking advantage of EMACS. +;; +;; Some major differences are: +;; +;; HELP is describe-key; +;; GOLD/HELP is describe-function; +;; FIND is isearch-forward/backward; +;; GOLD/HELP is occur-menu, which finds all occurrences of a search string; +;; ENTER is other-window; +;; SUBS is subprocess-command. Note that you will have to change this +;; yourself to shell if you are running Un*x; +;; PAGE is next-paragraph, because that's more useful than page. +;; SPECINS is copy-to-killring; +;; GOLD/GOLD is mark-section-wisely, which is my command to mark the +;; section in a manner consistent with the major-mode. It +;; uses mark-defun for emacs-lisp, lisp, mark-c-function for C, +;; and mark-paragraph for other modes. +;; +;; +;; Some subtle differences are: +;; +;; APPEND is append-to-buffer. One doesn't append to the kill ring much +;; and SPECINS is now copy-to-killring; +;; REPLACE is replace-regexp; +;; FILL is fill-region-wisely, which uses indent-region for C, lisp +;; emacs-lisp, and fill-region for others. It asks if you really +;; want to fill-region in TeX-mode, because I find this to be +;; very dangerous. +;; CHNGCASE is case-flip for the character under the cursor only. +;; I felt that case-flip region is unlikely, as usually you +;; upcase-region or downcase region. Also, unlike EDT it +;; is independent of the direction you are going, as that +;; drives me nuts. +;; +;; I use Emacs definition of what a word is. This is considerably different from +;; what EDT thinks a word is. This is not good for dyed-in-the-wool EDT fans, +;; but is probably preferable for experienced Emacs users. My assumption is that +;; the former are a dying breed now that GNU Emacs has made it to VMS, but let me +;; know how you feel. Also, when you undelete a word it leave the point at the +;; end of the undeleted text, rather than the beginning. I might change this +;; as I'm not sure if I like this or not. I'm also not sure if I want it to +;; set the mark each time you delete a character or word. +;; +;; Backspace does not invoke beginning-of-line, because ^H is the help prefix, +;; and I felt it should be left as such. You can change this if you like. +;; +;; The ADVANCE and BACKUP keys do not work as terminators for forward or +;; backward searches. In Emacs, all search strings are terminated by return. +;; The searches will however go forward or backward depending on your current +;; direction. Also, when you change directions, the mode line will not be +;; updated immediately, but only when you next execute an emacs function. +;; Personally, I consider this to be a bug, not a feature. +;; +;; This should also work with VT-2xx's, though I haven't tested it extensively +;; on those terminals. It assumes that the CSI-map of vt_200.el has been defined. +;; +;; There are also a whole bunch of GOLD letter, and GOLD character bindings: +;; look at edtdoc.el for them, or better still, look at the edt.el lisp code, +;; because after all, in the true Lisp tradition, the source code is *assumed* +;; to be self-documenting :-) +;; +;; Mike Clarkson, ...!allegra \ BITNET: mike@YUYETTI or +;; CRESS, York University, ...!decvax \ SYMALG@YUSOL +;; 4700 Keele Street, ...!ihnp4 > !utzoo!yetti!mike +;; North York, Ontario, ...!linus / +;; CANADA M3J 1P3. ...!watmath / Phone: +1 (416) 736-2100 x 7767 +;; +;; Note that I am not on ARPA, and must gateway any ARPA mail through BITNET or +;; UUCP.
