I am a devoted Emacs user, although not so devoted that I don't find
Xcode's editor acceptable for code development. It's a trade-off which
I use more for text editing overall, though, because I do so much work
with LaTeX, and I use Emacs for all of that.
As a result, there are always a few awkward transition moments, like
typing CMD-W for CMD-C, closing the window when I meant to copy.
Actually more annoying is when I type CTRL-X CTRL-S for CMD-S when I
mean to save. Nothing happens on the screen, but it hides an invisible
\177 character that comes back to bite me when I try to compile.
"Stray \177 in program," is a compiler error. The build window gives
one the line number, at which point one has to use the arrow keys on
the line until it "doesn't move" over one character and delete it. This
process is time-consuming and tedious.
I acknowledge for the most part, this is a personal problem and that
furthermore, many of you probably think I should be using BBEdit, but
seriously, is there a way I can tell Xcode (and just Xcode, not the
system as a whole, which would affect Emacs) that when I type CTRL-X, I
didn't mean for it to do anything?
Thank you in advance for any ideas,
Ashley Burgoyne
