Unlike other Emacs 22 variants, Aquamacs supports soft word wrapping for easy resizing of text windows and exchange of text with other programs. You can use specific fonts and colors for specific major modes, e.g., always edit LaTeX manuscripts in a proportional font. All these come in addition to all the shortcuts known on Emacs. Aquamacs offers you a range of key bindings that you’re used to from other applications on the Mac, such as Command-W to close a window, or Command-S to save the file. It displays every file buffer in its own tab, or, if you prefer, a Mac window (frame). Aquamacs features extensive customization that enables it to conform better with Apple’s standard Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) than standard versions of the editor do.Īquamacs offers a set of nice-looking, antialiased fonts.
