All, no flames, As a challenge, I decided to switch to emacs. I've been dabbling with it on/off for about a week. I can only go so far before I have to just put it up for a while and go back to my usual editor. I need to find a couple of good references, that are shorted and more concise than www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual and www.emacswiki.org/emacs. I need a good cheat-sheet and a howto on setting the emacs defaults so I'm not continually spending 1/2 hour or hour at a time chasing down issues like how to set default tabs and indention, tabify options, etc.. I like the https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/refcards/pdf/refcard.pdf as a cheat-sheet, but I does nothing for helping with basic config, etc.. Does anybody have a favorite link or two that would be a good reference for setting the options in ~/.emacs and ~/.gnu-emacs-custom? I've gotten tabs sorted out and navigated the difference between indent-tabs-mode, edit-tab-stops, tab-stop-list, c-default-style, c-basic-offset, etc.... settings, but I need to be able to find that type information in a concise form rather than the .el sprinklings throughout the gnu manual. I guess I'm just looking for a good "long time linux user way to shorten the emacs setup and config learning curve" type manual. Anybody have a favorite? -- David C.
