With my iPad having replaced my MacBook, the last thing I was missing was Emacs, which I not only enjoy hacking on, but is also how update my blog and resume! Let’s just say that it’s an integral tool in my life which I wanted access to, and I managed to make it happen.
This is a very quick introduction to Emacs. Once Emacs is open, Emacs commands are prefixed with Ctrl-x (usually written C-x), which means to hold control and press ‘x’. This combination is a ‘keymap binding’, that is, there is a table of commands that follow C-x, which allows different tables to be made for other prefixes (for instanceC-c, C-u, and C-h).
