836 @unnumbered Preface | |
837 | |
838 This manual documents the use and simple customization of the Emacs | |
839 editor. The reader is not expected to be a programmer; simple | |
840 customizations do not require programming skill. But the user who is not | |
841 interested in customizing can ignore the scattered customization hints. | |
842 | |
843 This is primarily a reference manual, but can also be used as a | |
844 primer. For complete beginners, it is a good idea to start with the | |
845 on-line, learn-by-doing tutorial, before reading the manual. To run the | |
846 tutorial, start Emacs and type @kbd{C-h t}. This way you can learn | |
847 Emacs by using Emacs on a specially designed file which describes | |
848 commands, tells you when to try them, and then explains the results you | |
849 see. | |
850 | |
851 On first reading, just skim chapters 1 and 2, which describe the | |
852 notational conventions of the manual and the general appearance of the | |
853 Emacs display screen. Note which questions are answered in these | |
854 chapters, so you can refer back later. After reading chapter 4, you | |
855 should practice the commands there. The next few chapters describe | |
856 fundamental techniques and concepts that are used constantly. You need | |
857 to understand them thoroughly, experimenting with them if necessary. | |
858 | |
859 Chapters 14 through 19 describe intermediate-level features that are | |
860 useful for all kinds of editing. Chapter 20 and following chapters | |
861 describe features that you may or may not want to use; read those | |
862 chapters when you need them. | |
863 | |
864 Read the Trouble chapter if Emacs does not seem to be working | |
865 properly. It explains how to cope with some common problems | |
866 (@pxref{Lossage}), as well as when and how to report Emacs bugs | |
867 (@pxref{Bugs}). | |

24093 | 869 To find the documentation on a particular command, look in the index. |
870 Keys (character commands) and command names have separate indexes. There | |
871 is also a glossary, with a cross reference for each term. | |
872 | |
873 This manual is available as a printed book and also as an Info file. | |
874 The Info file is for on-line perusal with the Info program, which will | |
875 be the principal way of viewing documentation on-line in the GNU system. | |
876 Both the Info file and the Info program itself are distributed along | |
877 with GNU Emacs. The Info file and the printed book contain | |
878 substantially the same text and are generated from the same source | |
879 files, which are also distributed along with GNU Emacs. | |
880 | |
881 GNU Emacs is a member of the Emacs editor family. There are many Emacs | |
882 editors, all sharing common principles of organization. For information on | |
883 the underlying philosophy of Emacs and the lessons learned from its | |
884 development, write for a copy of AI memo 519a, ``Emacs, the Extensible, | |
885 Customizable Self-Documenting Display Editor,'' to Publications Department, | |
886 Artificial Intelligence Lab, 545 Tech Square, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA@. At | |
887 last report they charge $2.25 per copy. Another useful publication is LCS | |
888 TM-165, ``A Cookbook for an Emacs,'' by Craig Finseth, available from | |
889 Publications Department, Laboratory for Computer Science, 545 Tech Square, | |
890 Cambridge, MA 02139, USA@. The price today is $3. | |
891 | |
892 This edition of the manual is intended for use with GNU Emacs installed | |
893 on GNU and Unix systems. GNU Emacs can also be used on VMS, MS-DOS | |
894 (also called MS-DOG), Windows NT, and Windows 95 systems. Those systems use | |
895 different file name syntax; in addition, VMS and MS-DOS do not support | |
896 all GNU Emacs features. We don't try to describe VMS usage in this | |
897 manual. @xref{MS-DOS}, for information about using Emacs on MS-DOS. | |

901 @unnumbered Distribution | |
902 | |
903 GNU Emacs is @dfn{free software}; this means that everyone is free to | |
904 use it and free to redistribute it on certain conditions. GNU Emacs is | |
905 not in the public domain; it is copyrighted and there are restrictions | |
906 on its distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit | |
907 everything that a good cooperating citizen would want to do. What is | |
908 not allowed is to try to prevent others from further sharing any version | |
909 of GNU Emacs that they might get from you. The precise conditions are | |
910 found in the GNU General Public License that comes with Emacs and also | |
911 appears following this section. | |
912 | |
913 One way to get a copy of GNU Emacs is from someone else who has it. You | |
914 need not ask for our permission to do so, or tell any one else; just | |
915 copy it. If you have access to the Internet, you can get the latest | |
916 distribution version of GNU Emacs by anonymous FTP; see the file | |
917 @file{etc/FTP} in the Emacs distribution for more information. | |
918 | |
919 You may also receive GNU Emacs when you buy a computer. Computer | |
920 manufacturers are free to distribute copies on the same terms that apply to | |
921 everyone else. These terms require them to give you the full sources, | |
922 including whatever changes they may have made, and to permit you to | |
923 redistribute the GNU Emacs received from them under the usual terms of the | |
924 General Public License. In other words, the program must be free for you | |
925 when you get it, not just free for the manufacturer. | |
926 | |
927 You can also order copies of GNU Emacs from the Free Software Foundation | |
928 on CD-ROM@. This is a convenient and reliable way to get a copy; it is | |
929 also a good way to help fund our work. (The Foundation has always | |
930 received most of its funds in this way.) An order form is included in | |
931 the file @file{etc/ORDERS} in the Emacs distribution, and on our web | |
932 site in @url{http://www.gnu.org/order/order.html}. For further | |

942 The income from distribution fees goes to support the foundation's | |

945 | |
946 If you find GNU Emacs useful, please @strong{send a donation} to the | |
947 Free Software Foundation to support our work. Donations to the Free | |
948 Software Foundation are tax deductible in the US. If you use GNU Emacs | |
949 at your workplace, please suggest that the company make a donation. If | |
950 company policy is unsympathetic to the idea of donating to charity, you | |
951 might instead suggest ordering a CD-ROM from the Foundation | |
952 occasionally, or subscribing to periodic updates. | |

1010 @unnumberedsec Preamble | |
1011 | |
1012 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | |
1013 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | |
1014 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free | |
1015 software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This | |
1016 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software | |
1017 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to | |
1018 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by | |

1019 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
24093 | 1020 your programs, too. |
1021 | |
1022 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
1023 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
1024 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
1025 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it | |
1026 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it | |
1027 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. | |
1028 | |
1029 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | |
1030 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | |
1031 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you | |
1032 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. | |
1033 | |
1034 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
1035 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that | |
1036 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the | |
1037 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their | |
1038 rights. | |
1039 | |
1040 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and | |
1041 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, | |
1042 distribute and/or modify the software. | |
1043 | |
1044 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain | |
1045 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | |
1046 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we | |
1047 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so | |
1048 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original | |
1049 authors' reputations. | |
1050 | |
1051 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software | |
1052 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free | |
1053 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the | |
1054 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any | |
1055 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. | |
1056 | |

1058 modification follow. | |

1071 under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program,'' below, |

1073 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: | |

1075 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another | |
1076 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in | |

1077 the term ``modification.'') Each licensee is addressed as ``you.'' |
24093 | 1078 |
1079 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | |
1080 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | |
1081 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program | |
1082 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the | |
1083 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). | |
1084 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. | |
1085 | |
1086 @item | |
1087 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's | |
1088 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | |
1089 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | |
1090 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | |
1091 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | |
1092 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License | |
1093 along with the Program. | |
1094 | |
1095 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and | |
1096 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. | |
1097 | |
1098 @item | |
1099 You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion | |
1100 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | |
1101 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | |
1102 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
1103 | |
1104 @enumerate a | |
1105 @item | |
1106 You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices | |
1107 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | |
1108 | |
1109 @item | |
1110 You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in | |
1111 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any | |
1112 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third | |
1113 parties under the terms of this License. | |
1114 | |
1115 @item | |
1116 If the modified program normally reads commands interactively | |
1117 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such | |
1118 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an | |
1119 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a | |
1120 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide | |
1121 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under | |
1122 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this | |
1123 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but | |
1124 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on | |
1125 the Program is not required to print an announcement.) | |
1126 @end enumerate | |
1127 | |
1128 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | |
1129 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, | |
1130 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | |
1131 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | |
1132 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | |
1133 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | |
1134 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | |
1135 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | |
1136 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | |
1137 | |
1138 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | |
1139 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | |
1140 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | |
1141 collective works based on the Program. | |
1142 | |
1143 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | |
1144 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of | |
1145 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | |
1146 the scope of this License. | |
1147 | |
1148 @item | |
1149 You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, | |
1150 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | |
1151 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: | |
1152 | |
1153 @enumerate a | |
1154 @item | |
1155 Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable | |
1156 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections | |
1157 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, | |
1158 | |
1159 @item | |
1160 Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three | |
1161 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your | |
1162 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete | |
1163 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be | |
1164 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium | |
1165 customarily used for software interchange; or, | |
1166 | |
1167 @item | |
1168 Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer | |
1169 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is | |
1170 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you | |
1171 received the program in object code or executable form with such | |
1172 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) | |
1173 @end enumerate | |
1174 | |
1175 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
1176 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source | |
1177 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | |
1178 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to | |
1179 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a | |
1180 special exception, the source code distributed need not include | |
1181 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary | |
1182 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the | |
1183 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component | |
1184 itself accompanies the executable. | |
1185 | |
1186 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering | |
1187 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | |
1188 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as | |
1189 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not | |
1190 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | |
1191 | |
1192 @item | |
1193 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program | |
1194 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | |
1195 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is | |

1201 @item | |
1202 You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | |
1203 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | |
1204 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are | |
1205 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | |
1206 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the | |
1207 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | |
1208 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | |
1209 the Program or works based on it. | |
1210 | |
1211 @item | |
1212 Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | |
1213 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | |
1214 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | |
1215 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | |
1216 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | |
1217 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | |
1218 this License. | |

1221 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | |
1222 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | |
1223 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
1224 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
1225 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | |
1226 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
1227 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | |
1228 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent | |
1229 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by | |
1230 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | |
1231 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | |
1232 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. | |
1233 | |
1234 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | |
1235 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | |
1236 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | |
1237 circumstances. | |
1238 | |
1239 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | |
1240 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | |
1241 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | |
1242 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is | |
1243 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | |
1244 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | |
1245 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | |
1246 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | |
1247 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | |
1248 impose that choice. | |
1249 | |
1250 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | |
1251 be a consequence of the rest of this License. | |

1253 @item | |
1254 If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in | |
1255 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | |
1256 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License | |
1257 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding | |
1258 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | |
1259 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | |
1260 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | |

1325 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
1326 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
1327 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | |
1328 | |
1329 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | |
1330 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
1331 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | |
1332 the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |

1396 @node Intro, Glossary, GNU Free Documentation License, Top |
24093 | 1397 @unnumbered Introduction |
1398 | |
1399 You are reading about GNU Emacs, the GNU incarnation of the advanced, | |
1400 self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time display editor Emacs. | |
1401 (The `G' in `GNU' is not silent.) | |
1402 | |
1403 We say that Emacs is a @dfn{display} editor because normally the text | |
1404 being edited is visible on the screen and is updated automatically as you | |
1405 type your commands. @xref{Screen,Display}. | |
1406 | |
1407 We call it a @dfn{real-time} editor because the display is updated very | |
1408 frequently, usually after each character or pair of characters you | |
1409 type. This minimizes the amount of information you must keep in your | |
1410 head as you edit. @xref{Basic,Real-time,Basic Editing}. | |
1411 | |
1412 We call Emacs advanced because it provides facilities that go beyond | |
1413 simple insertion and deletion: controlling subprocesses; automatic | |
1414 indentation of programs; viewing two or more files at once; editing | |
1415 formatted text; and dealing in terms of characters, words, lines, | |
1416 sentences, paragraphs, and pages, as well as expressions and comments in | |
1417 several different programming languages. | |
1418 | |
1419 @dfn{Self-documenting} means that at any time you can type a special | |
1420 character, @kbd{Control-h}, to find out what your options are. You can | |
1421 also use it to find out what any command does, or to find all the commands | |
1422 that pertain to a topic. @xref{Help}. | |
1423 | |
1424 @dfn{Customizable} means that you can change the definitions of Emacs | |
1425 commands in little ways. For example, if you use a programming language in | |
1426 which comments start with @samp{<**} and end with @samp{**>}, you can tell | |
1427 the Emacs comment manipulation commands to use those strings | |
1428 (@pxref{Comments}). Another sort of customization is rearrangement of the | |
1429 command set. For example, if you prefer the four basic cursor motion | |
1430 commands (up, down, left and right) on keys in a diamond pattern on the | |
1431 keyboard, you can rebind the keys that way. @xref{Customization}. | |
1432 | |
1433 @dfn{Extensible} means that you can go beyond simple customization and | |
1434 write entirely new commands, programs in the Lisp language to be run by | |
1435 Emacs's own Lisp interpreter. Emacs is an ``on-line extensible'' | |
1436 system, which means that it is divided into many functions that call | |
1437 each other, any of which can be redefined in the middle of an editing | |
1438 session. Almost any part of Emacs can be replaced without making a | |
1439 separate copy of all of Emacs. Most of the editing commands of Emacs | |
38131 | 1440 are written in Lisp; the few exceptions could have been written |
24093 | 1441 in Lisp but are written in C for efficiency. Although only a programmer |
1442 can write an extension, anybody can use it afterward. If you want to | |
1443 learn Emacs Lisp programming, we recommend the @cite{Introduction to | |
1444 Emacs Lisp} by Robert J. Chassell, also published by the Free Software | |
1445 Foundation. | |
1446 | |
1447 When run under the X Window System, Emacs provides its own menus and | |
1448 convenient bindings to mouse buttons. But Emacs can provide many of the | |
1449 benefits of a window system on a text-only terminal. For instance, you | |
1450 can look at or edit several files at once, move text between files, and | |
1451 edit files while running shell commands. | |
