I would install railwaycat as it's built with mac stuff in mind (such as trackpad zoom, mac modifier keys, etc...) https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport It's installed via brew as well and works very nicely. It'll upgrade you to 28.1 and should be fairly painless. Note: You'll probably have paths to it such as: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-28.1-mac-9.0 and /opt/homebrew/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-28.1-mac-9.0/share/emacs/28.1/etc/ Note that /opt is for M1 macs only. If you have an Intel, it will be in /usr, I think. It won't be hard to find as it sets it up for you and outputs stuff in the terminal which you should copy/paste into a note to make sure you remember it (and debug if there are any problems). I hope this helps! One more thing to note: I'm pretty new to it all, I've only been doing it for a couple of months, but I figured I would reply and see if I can help from my own experience. Also, I literally write everything down in notes (using Prot's denote) so that I don't forget stuff like this. ๐ > Thanks! > G. Summer. P.S. If you're just using terminal on a Mac, that's fine, but I would check out iTerm 2 (completely free and amazing): https://iterm2.com -- Summer, Sent from MU4E in Emacs, Because I'm becoming a NEWBIE at this!
