897 | @unnumbered Preface | |
898 | ||
899 | This manual documents the use and simple customization of the Emacs | |
350287ef RS |
900 | editor. Simple Emacs customizations do not require you to be a |
901 | programmer, but if you are not interested in customizing, you can | |
902 | ignore the customization hints. | |
3f973d9b AI |
903 | |
904 | This is primarily a reference manual, but can also be used as a | |
edc89fbc | 905 | primer. If you are new to Emacs, we recommend you start with |
350287ef RS |
906 | the on-line, learn-by-doing tutorial, before reading the manual. To |
907 | run the tutorial, start Emacs and type @kbd{C-h t}. The tutorial | |
908 | describes commands, tells you when to try them, and explains the | |
909 | results. | |
3f973d9b AI |
910 | |
911 | On first reading, just skim chapters 1 and 2, which describe the | |
912 | notational conventions of the manual and the general appearance of the | |
913 | Emacs display screen. Note which questions are answered in these | |
914 | chapters, so you can refer back later. After reading chapter 4, you | |
350287ef RS |
915 | should practice the commands shown there. The next few chapters |
916 | describe fundamental techniques and concepts that are used constantly. | |
917 | You need to understand them thoroughly, so experiment with them | |
918 | until you are fluent. | |
3f973d9b AI |
919 | |
920 | Chapters 14 through 19 describe intermediate-level features that are | |
350287ef RS |
921 | useful for many kinds of editing. Chapter 20 and following chapters |
922 | describe optional but useful features; read those chapters when you | |
923 | need them. | |
3f973d9b AI |
924 | |
925 | Read the Trouble chapter if Emacs does not seem to be working | |
350287ef | 926 | properly. It explains how to cope with several common problems |
3f973d9b AI |
927 | (@pxref{Lossage}), as well as when and how to report Emacs bugs |
928 | (@pxref{Bugs}). | |
177c0ea7 | 929 | |

930 | To find the documentation of a particular command, look in the index. |
931 | Keys (character commands) and command names have separate indexes. | |
932 | There is also a glossary, with a cross reference for each term. | |
3f973d9b AI |
933 | |
934 | This manual is available as a printed book and also as an Info file. | |
350287ef RS |
935 | The Info file is for on-line perusal with the Info program, which is |
936 | the principal means of accessing on-line documentation in the GNU | |
937 | system. Both the Emacs Info file and an Info reader are included with | |
938 | GNU Emacs. The Info file and the printed book contain substantially | |
939 | the same text and are generated from the same source files, which are | |
940 | also distributed with GNU Emacs. | |

942 | GNU Emacs is a member of the Emacs editor family. There are many |
943 | Emacs editors, all sharing common principles of organization. For | |
944 | information on the underlying philosophy of Emacs and the lessons | |
945 | learned from its development, see @cite{Emacs, the Extensible, | |

949 | This edition of the manual is intended for use with GNU Emacs |
950 | installed on GNU and Unix systems. GNU Emacs can also be used on VMS, | |
951 | MS-DOS (also called MS-DOG), Microsoft Windows, and Macintosh systems. | |
952 | Those systems use different file name syntax; in addition, VMS and | |

962 | GNU Emacs is @dfn{free software}; this means that everyone is free to | |
a7e3b4ef LK |
963 | use it and free to redistribute it on certain conditions. GNU Emacs |
964 | is not in the public domain; it is copyrighted and there are | |
965 | restrictions on its distribution, but these restrictions are designed | |
966 | to permit everything that a good cooperating citizen would want to do. | |
967 | What is not allowed is to try to prevent others from further sharing | |
968 | any version of GNU Emacs that they might get from you. The precise | |
969 | conditions are found in the GNU General Public License that comes with | |
970 | Emacs and also appears in this manual@footnote{This manual is itself | |
971 | covered by the GNU Free Documentation License. This license is | |
972 | similar in spirit to the General Public License, but is more suitable | |
973 | for documentation. @xref{GNU Free Documentation License}.}. | |
974 | @xref{Copying}. | |
975 | ||
976 | One way to get a copy of GNU Emacs is from someone else who has it. | |
977 | You need not ask for our permission to do so, or tell any one else; | |
978 | just copy it. If you have access to the Internet, you can get the | |
979 | latest distribution version of GNU Emacs by anonymous FTP; see | |
980 | @url{http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs} on our website for more | |
981 | information. | |
3f973d9b AI |
982 | |
983 | You may also receive GNU Emacs when you buy a computer. Computer | |
984 | manufacturers are free to distribute copies on the same terms that apply to | |
985 | everyone else. These terms require them to give you the full sources, | |
986 | including whatever changes they may have made, and to permit you to | |
987 | redistribute the GNU Emacs received from them under the usual terms of the | |
988 | General Public License. In other words, the program must be free for you | |
989 | when you get it, not just free for the manufacturer. | |
990 | ||
ad709ece | 991 | You can also order copies of GNU Emacs from the Free Software |

1089 | @unnumbered Introduction | |
1090 | ||
350287ef RS |
1091 | You are reading about GNU Emacs, the GNU incarnation of the |
1092 | advanced, self-documenting, customizable, extensible editor Emacs. | |
0b96ec68 LT |
1093 | (The `G' in `GNU' is not silent.) |
1094 | ||
350287ef RS |
1095 | We call Emacs advanced because it provides much more than simple |
1096 | insertion and deletion. It can control subprocesses, indent programs | |
1097 | automatically, show two or more files at once, and edit formatted | |
1098 | text. Emacs editing commands operate in terms of characters, words, | |
1099 | lines, sentences, paragraphs, and pages, as well as expressions and | |
1100 | comments in various programming languages. | |
0b96ec68 LT |
1101 | |
1102 | @dfn{Self-documenting} means that at any time you can type a special | |
1103 | character, @kbd{Control-h}, to find out what your options are. You can | |
1104 | also use it to find out what any command does, or to find all the commands | |
1105 | that pertain to a topic. @xref{Help}. | |
1106 | ||
350287ef RS |
1107 | @dfn{Customizable} means that you can alter Emacs commands' behavior |
1108 | in simple ways. For example, if you use a programming language in | |
1109 | which comments start with @samp{<**} and end with @samp{**>}, you can | |
1110 | tell the Emacs comment manipulation commands to use those strings | |
1111 | (@pxref{Comments}). Another sort of customization is rearrangement of | |
1112 | the command set. For example, you can rebind the basic cursor motion | |
1113 | commands (up, down, left and right) to any keys on the keyboard that | |
1114 | you find comfortable. @xref{Customization}. | |
1115 | ||
1116 | @dfn{Extensible} means that you can go beyond simple customization | |
1117 | and write entirely new commands---programs in the Lisp language to be | |
1118 | run by Emacs's own Lisp interpreter. Emacs is an ``on-line | |
1119 | extensible'' system, which means that it is divided into many | |
1120 | functions that call each other, any of which can be redefined in the | |
1121 | middle of an editing session. Almost any part of Emacs can be | |
1122 | replaced without making a separate copy of all of Emacs. Most of the | |
1123 | editing commands of Emacs are written in Lisp; the few exceptions | |

1134 | edit several files at once, move text between files, and edit files | |

1179 | Copyright @copyright{} 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |

3f973d9b AI |
1181 | |
1182 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
1183 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
1184 | @end display | |
1185 | ||
1186 | @unnumberedsec Preamble | |
1187 | ||
1188 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | |
1189 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | |
1190 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free | |
1191 | software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This | |
1192 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software | |
1193 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to | |
1194 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by | |
bb5cde66 | 1195 | the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
3f973d9b AI |
1196 | your programs, too. |
1197 | ||
1198 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
1199 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
1200 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
1201 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it | |
1202 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it | |
1203 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. | |
1204 | ||
1205 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | |
1206 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | |
1207 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you | |
1208 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. | |
1209 | ||
1210 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
1211 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that | |
1212 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the | |
1213 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their | |
1214 | rights. | |
1215 | ||
1216 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and | |
1217 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, | |
1218 | distribute and/or modify the software. | |
1219 | ||
1220 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain | |
1221 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | |
1222 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we | |
1223 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so | |
1224 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original | |
1225 | authors' reputations. | |
1226 | ||
1227 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software | |
1228 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free | |
1229 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the | |
1230 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any | |
1231 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. | |
1232 | ||
1233 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
1234 | modification follow. | |

1243 | @enumerate 0 | |
1244 | @item | |
1245 | This License applies to any program or other work which contains | |
1246 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed | |
df9d7630 | 1247 | under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program,'' below, |
3f973d9b AI |
1248 | refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program'' |
1249 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: | |
1250 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, | |
1251 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another | |
1252 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in | |
df9d7630 | 1253 | the term ``modification.'') Each licensee is addressed as ``you.'' |
3f973d9b AI |
1254 | |
1255 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | |
1256 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | |
1257 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program | |
1258 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the | |
1259 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). | |
1260 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. | |
1261 | ||
1262 | @item | |
1263 | You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's | |
1264 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | |
1265 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | |
1266 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | |
1267 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | |
1268 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License | |
1269 | along with the Program. | |
1270 | ||
1271 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and | |
1272 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. | |
1273 | ||
1274 | @item | |
1275 | You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion | |
1276 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | |
1277 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | |
1278 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
1279 | ||
1280 | @enumerate a | |
1281 | @item | |
1282 | You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices | |
1283 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | |
1284 | ||
1285 | @item | |
1286 | You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in | |
1287 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any | |
1288 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third | |
1289 | parties under the terms of this License. | |
1290 | ||
1291 | @item | |
1292 | If the modified program normally reads commands interactively | |
1293 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such | |
1294 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an | |
1295 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a | |
1296 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide | |
1297 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under | |
1298 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this | |
1299 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but | |
1300 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on | |
1301 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) | |
1302 | @end enumerate | |
1303 | ||
1304 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | |
1305 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, | |
1306 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | |
1307 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | |
1308 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | |
1309 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | |
1310 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | |
1311 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | |
1312 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | |
1313 | ||
1314 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | |
1315 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | |
1316 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | |
1317 | collective works based on the Program. | |
1318 | ||
1319 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | |
1320 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of | |
1321 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | |
1322 | the scope of this License. | |
1323 | ||
1324 | @item | |
1325 | You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, | |
1326 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | |
1327 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: | |
1328 | ||
1329 | @enumerate a | |
1330 | @item | |
1331 | Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable | |
1332 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections | |
1333 | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, | |
1334 | ||
1335 | @item | |
1336 | Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three | |
1337 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your | |
1338 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete | |
1339 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be | |
1340 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium | |
1341 | customarily used for software interchange; or, | |
1342 | ||
1343 | @item | |
1344 | Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer | |
1345 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is | |
1346 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you | |
1347 | received the program in object code or executable form with such | |
1348 | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) | |
1349 | @end enumerate | |
1350 | ||
1351 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
1352 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source | |
1353 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | |
1354 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to | |
1355 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a | |
1356 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include | |
1357 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary | |
1358 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the | |
1359 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component | |
1360 | itself accompanies the executable. | |
1361 | ||
1362 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering | |
1363 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | |
1364 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as | |
1365 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not | |
1366 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | |
1367 | ||
1368 | @item | |
1369 | You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program | |
1370 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | |
1371 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is | |
1372 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | |
1373 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under | |
1374 | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | |
1375 | parties remain in full compliance. | |
1376 | ||
1377 | @item | |
1378 | You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | |
1379 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | |
1380 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are | |
1381 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | |
1382 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the | |
1383 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | |
1384 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | |
1385 | the Program or works based on it. | |
1386 | ||
1387 | @item | |
1388 | Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | |
1389 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | |
1390 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | |
1391 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | |
1392 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | |
1393 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | |
1394 | this License. | |
1395 | ||
1396 | @item | |
1397 | If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | |
1398 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | |
1399 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
1400 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
1401 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | |
1402 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
1403 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | |
1404 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent | |
1405 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by | |
1406 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | |
1407 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | |
1408 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. | |
1409 | ||
1410 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | |
1411 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | |
1412 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | |
1413 | circumstances. | |
1414 | ||
1415 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | |
1416 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | |
1417 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | |
1418 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is | |
1419 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | |
1420 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | |
1421 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | |
1422 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | |
1423 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | |
1424 | impose that choice. | |
1425 | ||
1426 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | |
1427 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | |
1428 | ||
1429 | @item | |
1430 | If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in | |
1431 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | |
1432 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License | |
1433 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding | |
1434 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | |
1435 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | |
1436 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | |
1437 | ||
1438 | @item | |
1439 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | |
1440 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | |
1441 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | |
1442 | address new problems or concerns. | |
1443 | ||
1444 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | |
1445 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any | |
df9d7630 | 1446 | later version,'' you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
3f973d9b AI |
1447 | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
1448 | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of | |
1449 | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software | |
1450 | Foundation. | |
1451 | ||
1452 | @item | |
1453 | If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free | |
1454 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author | |
1455 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free | |
1456 | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes | |
1457 | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals | |
1458 | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and | |
1459 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. | |

1499 | @unnumberedsec How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | |
1500 | ||
1501 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
1502 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
1503 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | |
1504 | ||
1505 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | |
1506 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
1507 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | |
1508 | the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |

1542 | The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show | |
1543 | the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the | |
1544 | commands you use may be called something other than @samp{show w} and | |
1545 | @samp{show c}; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items---whatever | |
1546 | suits your program. | |
1547 | ||
1548 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | |
1549 | school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if | |
1550 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | |

1588 | @c The Option Index is produced only in the on-line version, |
1589 | @c because the index entries related to command-line options | |
1590 | @c tend to point to the same pages and all begin with a dash. | |
1591 | @c This, and the need to keep the node links consistent, are | |
1592 | @c the reasons for the funky @iftex/@ifnottex dance below. | |
1593 | @c The Option Index is _not_ before Key Index, because that | |
1594 | @c would require changes in the glossary.texi's @node line. | |
1595 | @c It is not after Concept Index for similar reasons. | |
