Emacs emulator option #12

Many team members are very proficient with Emacs and use it to edit RFCXML currently. The editor should offer an option of using an Emacs extension (like the Emacs extensions available in the VS Code marketplace). It should be optional because not all team members use Emacs.

not all team members use Emacs

Sounds like user error :fire:

Is this just emacs key mapping or does the editor need to emulate emacs?

EMACs_Commands.txt contains the commands that new RPC team members learn. A desired feature is ESC % (Start query-replace).

emacs.txt is the standard RPC .emacs cfg file (renamed so that GitHub would upload it). The RPC uses the following mods:

visual-line-mode is set so that hard line breaks are not inserted
a cfg block starting with "Next part added..." provides schema support

gnu-emacs.txt is the .gnu-emacs file (also renamed so that it could be uploaded).
