What is the best way to edit files in Emacs?

Like Git, Emacs uses your SSH config first and only stops to ask for more information in the event of an error. Tramp is great for editing files that don't exist on your computer, and the user experience is not noticeably any different from editing a local file.

How do I install racket in Emacs?

To install it, press Alt + X ( M-x in Emacs notation), type package-install, and press Return. Then enter the package you want to install ( racket-mode ), and press Return. Enter Racket mode with M-x racket-mode. If you're new to Racket but not to Lisp or Emacs, start with the excellent Quick introduction to Racket with pictures.

Why should I use emacs?

In Emacs, there's no separation between the Lisp engine running the application and the arbitrary text you type into it. To Emacs, everything is Lisp data, so everything can be analyzed and manipulated programmatically. That makes for a powerful user interface (UI).

How do I use Tramp in Emacs?

Tramp is already included in Emacs 22.1 or greater, so to use Tramp, you just open a file in the Tramp syntax. In the File menu of Emacs, select Open File. When prompted in the mini-buffer at the bottom of the Emacs window, enter the file name using this syntax: If you are required to log in interactively, Tramp prompts you for your password.

Can you use Emacs for everything?

All of the basic editing commands (and there are lots of them) are available no matter what you're trying to do: write code, read a manual, use a shell, or compose an email. All the tools Emacs provides for opening, saving, searching, and processing text (and more) are available to you no matter what you're doing.

Is Emacs an ide?

Emacs is not an IDE. It's more a text-mode Lisp machine with lots of little libraries to build your own IDEs and other text-mode applications.

Maybe is a often repeated question here, but i can't find anything similar with the search. The point is that i like to use Emacs for my personal projects, usually very small applications using C or python, but i was wondering how to use it also for my work, in which we have project with about 10k files of source code, so is veeeery big (actually i am using source insight, that is very nice tool, but only for windows), questions are:

Searching: Which is the most convenient way to search a string within the whole project?
Navigating throught the function: I mean something like putting the cursor over a function, define, var, and going to the definition
Refactoring

Also if you have any experience with this and want to share your thoughts i will consider it highly interesting.
