EMACS NOTES
===========

Great article about using Emacs as a shell and file manager
can be found here:

https://blog.einval.eu/2020/04/emacs-as-a-shell/

Your ~/.emacs.d/init.el file, your ~/.emacs.d/el/typopunct.el file,
and your ~/.emacs.d/el/gopher.el file are in the dot-files
directory.

Open the console version of emacs instead of the X window version:

emacs -nw

Activate menu items: Meta-` [Meta-tickmark (below tilde)]
Close without saving: Ctrl-x Ctrl-c
Save: Ctrl-x Ctrl-s
Save as: Ctrl-x Ctrl-w

Open a man page: Meta-x man

Open file or create new:

Ctrl-x Ctrl-f

This can be used to open a file on a remote server. Backspace
over the default directory (~/) and enter:

/[ssh:]user@server.net#port-number:/path/to/file

Alternatively, you can use the "Host" specified in an SSH
config file to identify a remote server:

/ssh:Host:/path/to/file

Calendar Mode / Diary
=====================

To enter calendar mode:

Meta-x calendar-mode

To exit calendar mode:

q

By default, the diary file is located at

~/.emacs.d/diary

You can set a different location in your ~/.emcas.d/init.el file:

(setq diary-file "/path/to/alternate-location)

The "Diary" entries in the Emacs manual at gnu.org are very helpful.


Gopher Support
==============

Add the gopher.el file to your ~/.emacs.d/el/ directory,
and then add the line

(require 'gopher)

to your ~/.emacs.d/init.el file.

Use

Meta-x gopher

to enter gopher mode and prompt to enter a gopher url.

Use

q

to exit gopher mode.

Basic usage guidelines can be found on the gopher.el github page.


Enriched Mode
=============

To enter enriched mode, open (i.e. ‘visit’) a new file and type:

Meta-x enriched-mode

If you open a file that was saved in enriched mode, it will
automatically open in enriched mode. One problem I have run
into is that it does not seem possible to edit a compressed
file in enriched mode.

Some enriched mode formatting reminders:

Meta-o-i   (Italic)  
Meta-o-b   (Bold)  
Meta-o-u   (Underline)  
Meta-o-l   (Bold-Italic)  
Meta-o-d   (Return to default text format)
