=== REPLs ===

* [[ Inferior Emacs Lisp Mode ]] (IELM) for interacting with Emacs' own internal Lisp
* [[ mozrepl ]] for interacting with an external web browser's internal JavaScript engine
* [[ SLIME ]] for interacting with an external Common Lisp or Clojure instance

=== [[ Version Control ]] ===

Emacs supports many [[Version Control]] systems out of the box and provides bindings and other shortcuts for a better workflow between Emacs and these systems.

Within Emacs, [[ ediff ]] provides sophisticated diff and merge functions. Both [[vc]] and [[dvc]] integrate well with ediff.

* Launching and interacting with an [[ external browser ]] from emacs
* Using [[ emacs as a browser's external editor ]], either when entering text on web pages or when viewing a web page's source document or both.

== Shells and terminal emulation ==

Within Emacs you can interact with various shells and other command-line/text-mode programs running as a sub-process within an Emacs terminal emulator:
* [[ ansi-term ]]
* [[ shell ]]

* [[ multi-term ]]

[[ eshell ]] is a shell (not a terminal emulator, nor a process hosted in one) written in pure [[ Emacs Lisp ]]. It is very powerful, flexible and customizable, but poorly documented at time of writing.

Emacs itself is fully functional either in a terminal or a windowing system. Some keystrokes available under window systems may not work in a terminal and vice versa.

Emacs for Vim users

2012-03-25T09:49:15Z

Kenda: modified header structure

== Evil ==

'''Evil''' is an '''e'''xtensible '''vi''' '''l'''ayer for Emacs. It provides Vim features like Visual selection and text objects, and is the successor to [[Vimpulse]] and [[VimMode vim-mode]].

=== Quick install ===

Using [[el-get]], Evil can be downloaded and installed with: M-x el-get-install RET evil RET.

=== Download ===

Alternatively, Evil lives in a Git repository. To download Evil, do:

git clone git://gitorious.org/evil/evil.git

If you don't have Git, just head over to [https://gitorious.org/evil/evil/commits/master Gitorious] and click the ''"Download master as tar.gz"'' link (extract with ##tar -xzf master.tar.gz##).

=== Install ===

Move Evil to ~/.emacs.d/evil (or somewhere else in your ##load-path##). Then add the following lines to ~/.emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/evil")
(require 'evil)
(evil-mode 1)

Evil requires [UndoTree undo-tree.el] in the load-path for linear undo and undo branches. Otherwise, Evil uses regular Emacs undo.

=== Documentation ===

A brief [https://gitorious.org/evil/evil/blobs/raw/doc/doc/evil.pdf PDF manual] is available in the /doc subdirectory.

=== Articles ===

* [http://dnquark.com/blog/2012/02/emacs-evil-ecumenicalism/ Emacs Evil Ecumenicalism]

=== Plug-ins ===

* [https://github.com/timcharper/evil-surround evil-surround]: Port of Vim's surround script.

Installing Emacs

2012-03-24T16:48:29Z

Kenda: added category

== Getting Emacs 24 ==

Emacs 24 still hasn't been released, but it's probably the best version of Emacs you can get.

=== OS X ===

Obtaining Emacs 24 on OS X is really simple. There are two popular ways to do it.

==== As a binary package ====

Simply download a pretest (or a nightly build) from [http://emacsformacosx.com Emacs for OSX]. Probably the best option would be to get the latest pretest from [http://emacsformacosx.com/builds here].

==== Build it from source ====

The second easy way to obtain Emacs 24 is via [http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ homebrew]. Just type the following incantation in your shell and you’re done:

<source lang="bash">
$ brew install emacs --cocoa --use-git-head --HEAD
$ cp -r /usr/local/Cellar/emacs/HEAD/Emacs.app /Applications/
</source>
The second step is optional, but it’s recommended if you like to start Emacs from the launchpad or from Spotlight.

Chances are good you have an older version of Emacs installed by default with OS X. It's suggested you to remove that older Emacs version to avoid conflicts with the new one. Do this:

<source lang="bash">
$ sudo rm /usr/bin/emacs
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/emacs
</source>
That’s all folk! You may now proceed to the configuration section.

=== Linux ===

Given that Linux is more or less the home os of Emacs it presents us with the most installation options. Of course, you can build Emacs from [https://github.com/emacsmirror/emacs source] on every distribution out there, but why bother to do so? Using the distribution’s package manager is a better idea for many reasons - you don’t need to install a build chain and lots of dev libraries, you get updated versions when they are released and you get automated dependency manager, just to name a few.

That said, few distributions include in their primary repositories builds of Emacs 24. Luckily there are some unofficial repos that come to the rescue.

Debian users should look no further than the amazing [http://emacs.naquadah.org/ emacs-snapshot APT repo]. You’ll find installation instructions there for all the relevant Debian versions out there. High quality, highly recommended builds! After you’ve added the repo you can install Emacs 24 with the following command:

<source lang="bash">
$ sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot
</source>
Ubuntu users have easy access to Emacs 24 as well:

<source lang="bash">
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cassou/emacs
$ sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot
</source>
Gentoo users have even less to do, since Emacs 24 can be obtained via the emacs-vcs package in portage, as noted in the official [http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/lisp/emacs/emacs.xml Emacs on Gentoo page].

Arch Linux users can install Emacs 24 from the Arch User Repository ([http://aur.archlinux.org/index.php AUR]) with the package [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33337 emacs-bzr].

Slackware users can compile and install Emacs 24 by using the following unofficial SlackBuild script: [http://github.com/cycojesus/slackbuilds/tree/master/e/emacs emacs.SlackBuild].

Unfortunately they don't seem to be any prebuilt Emacs 24 packages for any of the RPM distros (Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva, etc).

=== Windows ===

There are several ways to obtain precompiled Emacs 24 binaries if you’re a Windows users. The most popular are [http://ourcomments.org/cgi-bin/emacsw32-dl-latest.pl EmacsW32], [http://code.google.com/p/emacs-for-windows/ Emacs for Windows] and of course the official [http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ Emacs Windows builds].

For more information about using Emacs on Windows, see [http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq.html GNU Emacs FAQ For MS Windows].

== Emacs Modes for PHP ==
There are several modes for editing PHP source files in Emacs.

[http://php-mode.sourceforge.net/ PHP-mode] is a basic PHP mode which features syntax highlighting.
[http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/nXhtml/doc/nxhtml.html nXhtml] is a major mode for editing files with mixed HTML and PHP code.

== Flymake ==
[http://sachachua.com/blog/2008/07/emacs-and-php-on-the-fly-syntax-checking-with-flymake/ Here] is a great article on setting up a simple PHP flymake mode using the PHP interperter.

== Debugging PHP code in emacs ==
The [http://xdebug.org/ xdebug] extension for PHP is an essential tool for the PHP developer. [http://code.google.com/p/geben-on-emacs/ Geben] is an excellent remote for the xdebug debugger when working inside of emacs.

The "killer app" for emacs is [http://orgmode.org org-mode]. Org-Mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, doing project planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system. It can also be used to log time spent on projects. On top of that, it also offers a convenient way of doing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming literate programming].
