Emacs Mode

What is Emacs Mode useful for?

MacOS X can operate Emacs style by default. For example, movement in C-p, C-n is supported in TextEdit.

However, there is the thing that you cannot perform these operation in some applications.

  • You cannot move cursor by C-p, C-n in Finder.
  • You cannot submit by C-m in Safari's addressbar.
  • You cannot move focus by C-i in Safari.
  • You cannot cancel a dialog by C-[.

It is Emacs Mode that will replace C-p with arrow key and clear such a trifling troublesome thing.

Uninstall

Safe-Mode uninstall

If you installed KeyRemap4MacBook with DoubleCommand or anything, the keyboard will be unusable.
