Aquamacs 0.9.4 Problem

Using the Options menu I set the font for text mode to be Monaco 12,
made that the default for text mode, and saved my options.  When I
start Aquamacs again, I get the following warning messages:

    "Warning: Font
    -apple-monaco*-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco12 not
    available."

    ad-Orig-frame-notice-user-settings: Font
    `-apple-monaco*-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco12' is
    not defined

Why am I getting thes warnings?  They didn't appear in version 0.9.3.

Transient Mark Mode in Aquamacs 0.9.4

I don't seem to be able to turn off transient mark mode in Aquamacs
0.9.4.  If I customize transient-mark-mode, it writes a line to
customizations.el that sets this variable to nil.  When I start
Aquamacs next time, it is set to true!  Apparently, it's getting set
elsewhere.

When I do this manually:

(setq transient-mark-mode nil)

the variable is back to t immediately.

This is to be due to CUA-mode.
You can turn off CUA-mode, but you'll lose some functionality  
(shifted arrow keys).

I'm not too fond of CUA-mode, especially because of the above issue  
and because we're not using a lot of its features anyways. What it  
mainly gives us is shift-arrow keys to extend the region (which we  
could implement separately) and also registers (via prefixes), which  
is nice.

But maybe one could reimplement CUA mode to give us these features  
without forcing transient-mark-mode?
Stuff  is in cua-base.el and maybe not too hard to do.
Anyone interested in giving this a shot?

I just installed aquamacs only to discover that the command key is  
not assigned to M-x by default. How do I set that up?

Thanks,

jim

Re: [OS X Emacs]


Add this to your .emacs:

~ (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)

EDT emulation

Being new to macosx, I cannot find a way to run the EDT emulation. On 
the Linux versions I am using presently (Suse, Scientific Linux) it 
works without any major problems. What's the trick?

Re: EDT emulation


I don't use this mode, but typing M-x edt-emulation-on brought up some
instructions on how to configure it.  Reprinted below:

~     Ack!!  You're running the Enhanced EDT Emulation without loading an
~     EDT key mapping file.  To create an EDT key mapping file, run the
~     edt-mapper.el program.  It is safest to run it from an Emacs loaded
~     without any of your own customizations found in your .emacs file, etc.
~     The reason for this is that some user customizations confuse
edt-mapper.
~     You can do this by quitting Emacs and then invoking Emacs again as
~     follows:

~          emacs -q -l edt-mapper.el

~     [NOTE:  If you do nothing out of the ordinary in your .emacs file, and
~     the search for edt-mapper.el is successful, you can try running it
now.]

~     The file edt-mapper.el includes these same directions on how to
~     use it!  Perhaps it's lying around here someplace.
~     Ah yes, there it is, in

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/emulation/edt-mapper.el

Give this a try.

Cheers,

Alternatively, Jim could use the Option key as Meta by deselecting  
the Option key (for special characters) item in the Options menu.
(And then, Save Options).

The advantage would be that the Mac keyboard shortcuts still work.

Three cheers for David Reitter & Kevin Walzer!

     I'm really impressed by the quality of the Aquamacs project and  
the speed of bug fixes.

     I had a tiny glitch just now with 0.9.3, and, sure enough, there  
was a 0.9.4 that has come out in the past half week and said tiny  
glitch is gone. . . .

     I'm having the same sort of happy feelings as I did when I was  
first introduced to emacs and found out how much easier it was  
than . . ., back about 20 years ago.
