* '''Motivation''': when analyzing data for any research project, it's essential to know well a good text editor. Indeed, it's very efficient to be able to program in several languages (eg. Python, C/C++, R), interact with the shell like in a terminal, manipulate data and plot exploratory analyzes in R, ''all this within the same editor''! One such editor is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs Emacs], and is available on Linux, Mac OS and Windows. For Mac OS X users, I recommend [http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs/mac/ this distribution]. | |||
* '''Documentation''': | |||
** official [https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/index.html manual] | |||
** I haven't found yet any good tutorial, outside of the official [https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/ tour] | |||
** [http://www.emacswiki.org/ wiki] (with many tips) | |||
** [https://github.com/vikasrawal/orgpaper/blob/master/orgpapers.org org tutorial] | |||
** [https://github.com/emacsmirror/p code] (mirrors packages) | |||
** [http://xkcd.com/378/ cartoon] | |||
* '''Important packages''': | |||
** [http://orgmode.org/) org-mode] | |||

* '''Configuration''': my own file <nowiki>~/.emacs</nowiki> (versioned [https://github.com/timflutre/perso/blob/master/emacs here]): | |||
* '''Tips''': | |||
** from the office computer (desktop), log interactively to a cluster node, launch <code>emacs --daemon</code> and keep the terminal open indefinitely; then access this session from any computer, e.g. a laptop, with <code>emacsclient -t</code> | |||
** especially useful with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuTTY PuTTY] on Windows, launch emacs so that its window is the terminal itself, via <code>emacs -nw</code> | |||
** when updating org-mode, one may have to first comment all org-related lines in ~/.emacs, remove the dir ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-*, re-open Emacs with option -Q, install the latest version of org-mode, close Emacs and re-open it without -Q, uncomment all org-related lines in ~/.emacs | |||
