Win32 Integration - or running in Windows

Emacs will need to be set up as/running a text-server to auto-open files. EmacsW32 does this, maps the standard windows cut-copy-paste controls, and more

Emacs W32 - a good (if not “the good”) Win32 customization

 

It’s All Text

If you want to use with the Fire Fox? extension “It’s All Text”, you’ll need the above and also
"YOUR-PATH\emacsclientw.exe" %* as the auto-launch info

 

Associate files with Emacs

open with <..>/Emacs/Emacs/bin/emacsclientw.exe

 

Printing

  1. Printing from the toolbar or most menu options caused things to freeze up for me, repeatedly
    • C-g does NOT recover from the hang
  2. However, Quick Print to OS Default Printer >> Print with Web Browser worked fine
  3. find out the keystrokes for this....

 

NOTE under vers 33 this is all screwy and I am unhappy. more notes...

 

 

Grep and other Gnu Win 32? Unix utils

  1. Although they come with EmacsW32, they haven’t executed straight out of the box, for me.
  2. add <..>\Emacs\EmacsW32\gnuwin32\bin to your PATH Environment Variable?
    • this needs to come prior to any other dirs that may have find (eg, the native command, or cygwin)
  3. restart Emacs
