This mode is very different from the -idea of modes in <tt class="COMMAND">vi</tt>: a mode tells you what kind of buffer you -are in. For example, there is text-mode for normal text files, but there are also modes -such as c-mode for editing C programs, sh-mode for editing shell scripts, latex-mode for -editing <b class="APPLICATION">LaTeX</b> files, mail-mode for editing email and news -messages, etc. A mode provides special customizations and functionality that is useful -for the kind of file you are editing. It is even possible for a mode to redefine keys and -key commands. For example, in Text mode, the Tab key simply jumps to the next tab stop, -but in many programming language modes, the <b class="KEYCAP">Tab</b> key indents the -current line according to the depth of the block that line is in.</p> - -<p>The modes mentioned above are called major modes. Each buffer has exactly one major -mode. Additionally, a buffer can have one or more minor modes. A minor mode provides -additional features that may be useful for certain editing tasks. For example, if you hit -the <b class="KEYCAP">INSERT</b> key, you invoke overwrite-mode, which does what you'd -expect. There is also an auto-fill-mode, which is handy in combination with text-mode or -latex-mode: it causes each line that you type to be automatically wrapped once the line -reaches a certain number of characters. Without auto-fill-mode, you have to type <b -class="KEYCAP">M</b>-<b class="KEYCAP">q</b> to fill out a paragraph. (Which you can also -use to reformat a paragraph after you've edited some text in it and it is no longer -nicely filled out.)</p> - -<div class="SECT2"> -<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="EMACS-OPENING-FILES" name="EMACS-OPENING-FILES">17.3.1 Opening -files</a></h2> - -<p>To open a file in Emacs, type</p> - -<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"> -<tr> -<td> -<pre class="SCREEN"> -<kbd class="USERINPUT">C-x C-f</kbd> -</pre> -</td> -</tr> -</table> - -<p>Emacs will ask you for the name of the file, filling in some default path for you -(which is usually <tt class="FILENAME">~/</tt> ).

You can move the cursor to the file that you are looking for and type -, and Emacs will open it. (There are in fact a lot more actions you can perform here, -such as deleting, renaming and moving files, etc. Emacs is now in dired-mode, which is -basically a simple file manager.)</p> - -<p>When you have typed <b class="KEYCAP">C</b>-<b class="KEYCAP">x</b> <b -class="KEYCAP">C</b>-<b class="KEYCAP">f</b> and suddenly change your mind, you can type -<b class="KEYCAP">C</b>-<b class="KEYCAP">g</b> to cancel the action. <b -class="KEYCAP">C</b>-<b class="KEYCAP">g</b> works almost everywhere where you want to -cancel an action or command that you've started but don't want to finish.</p> -</div> -</div> - -<div class="NAVFOOTER"> -<hr align="LEFT" width="100%" /> -<table summary="Footer navigation table" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" -cellspacing="0"> -<tr> -<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top"><a href="emacs-buffers.html" -accesskey="P">Prev</a></td> -<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="index.html" -accesskey="H">Home</a></td> -<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top"><a href="emacs-basic-editing.html" -accesskey="N">Next</a></td> -</tr> - -<tr> -<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top">Buffers</td> -<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="emacs.html" -accesskey="U">Up</a></td> -<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top">Basic Editing</td> -</tr> -</table> -</div> -</body> -</html> - |
