In the earlier stages of the project Nathaniel Cunningham contributed features such as native spell-checking and window tabs. Who made it? Aquamacs has been adapted from GNU Emacs by David Reitter, aided by enthusiastic users and Emacs experts and is now maintained by Win Treese. And all is built on GNU Emacs, so you can use your favorite Emacs packages! Check the Features section if you want to know more. It's easy to install and runs out-of-the box with no configuration. Aquamacs behaves like a modern application on Mac (or Windows) when it comes to selecting, copying, pasting texts within Aquamacs or in between applications. For instance, in addition to traditional Emacs shortcuts like C-x C-f (open a new file), Aquamacs understands Command-O. We support the standard Mac user interface that you've come to love. The big challenge: if you use a number of applications on your Mac, one of them is Emacs, you'll have to switch gears when you switch to Emacs.Īquamacs is better. One advantage of it is: no matter what operating system you run Emacs on, you'll always get the same interface. What's Emacs? Emacs is a text editor of legendary power and configurability, but it also has an enormously complex user interface. It is backed by two strong communities: Aquamacs users, and Emacs enthusiasts on all computing platforms (GNU/Linux/Unix, Windows, Mac). The current maintainer of Aquamacs is Win Treese has been available for well over a decade and is used daily by thousands of academics, programmers, and authors. Most of the development on Aquamacs since its beginning in 2004 was done by David Reitter, based on GNU Emacs by Richard Stallman and many others. Yet, it comes with all the ergonomics and extensibility you've come to expect from GNU Emacs. Aquamacs integrates with the Mac and offers the same comforts that any application on the Mac provides. Aquamacs is a user-friendly build of the powerful Emacs text editor.
