emacs

When I run Gnu Emacs under cygwin on Windows and I press "ctrl-x ctrl-c" to exit I get the message:

ctrl-x ctrl-g is undefined

: However, when I run Xemacs the "ctrl-x ctrl-c" works fine

It's much faster than using the mouse, and it is much easier to memorise "shortcuts" this way. Emacs and VI provide this, though, emacs and vi… >>> More
