Don't change the emacs UI by default #73

Open pib opened 10 years ago

pib commented 10 years ago

I was excited when I saw that emacs was already supported.

I was less excited when I set it up and it changed the entire appearance of emacs.

It seems like the visual changes should be moved into an optional bit that you can add if you want, because emacs users are going to be scared off if their carefully crafted config gets stomped all over by something that is supposed to just be dealing with text.

It's ok if it changes the font and colors inside xiki-specific buffers, but my editor windows need to stay how they are and the status bar and mini-buffer need to be left alone.

I wholeheartedly agree with this comment.

I agree as well. I'll make this a config setting at some point.

I'm currently dedicating all my time to battling the Kickstarter. It's going to be a tough fight to make it. Please spread the word! - http://kck.st/1o5NLkb

I'll get xsh working out of the box (it doesn't matter as much if I step on key shortcuts in it by default). And then from I'll make it obvious how to change your keys. In the mean time you can manually do this:

~/.el4r/init.rb : # Alternate configuration to just map Control+Return : # (Comment out the KeyShortcuts.keys line above) : # Xiki::KeyShortcuts.map_control_return
