A 'buffer' is essentially a view of a document, which is displayed in one or more 'frames' (windows). Much is where you would expect it, though Emacs terminology can seem rather strange to Mac users. When you first install Aquamacs, it is worth looking through the menus to locate the basic commands. Two different ways of typing transliteration characters are described on other pages. To ensure you have all the necessary transliteration and normalisation characters, we recommend that you install the DejaVu font and set it as the default. In that window, you can choose a font, size, colour, as you would normally, and save different combinations as favourites. In Aquamacs, you can open up (and close) a Fonts window with the command ⌘⇧T.

This page aims to make working with Emacs as intuitive and Mac-like as possible.

And it doesn't help that Aquamacs has its own little quirks. Here we give a short description of some features that we have found useful for editing and lemmatising ATF in Aquamacs (Emacs for Mac), apart from those provided by ATF Mode.Įmacs is a very powerful piece of software, but its documentation is dense, difficult to navigate, and usually assumes that you are working in Unix without a mouse.
