You mean you use Terminal and not XDarwin?
I'm assuming you mean X11, but yes, I have a difficult time
remembering the keyboard commands for a normal emacs session. I think
I would go crazy if I tried to remember them for the GUI version. At
least, I think you're talking about carbon emacs. Besides, setting up
my environment so that carbon emacs knows where my $PATH is is too
much work.
I run Emacs from XDarwin (actually as a background task). After
saving
my changes I alt-tab to another Xterm where I run my Lily commands
(usually from up-arrow). I have a background gv running for each part
or score I am working which I can also atl-tab to. I never use Emacs
commands like compile. I have discovered that crtl-L will refresh an
instance of gv.
See, I was trying to reduce the number of programs I have to use.
Currently, I run gnu screen, and I open nano, bash and tail. I edit my
files in nano, run lilypond on them in bash, and if there are errors,
I have them redirected to a file which I constantly monitor with tail.
In 10.5, files are reloaded when there are changes made to them, so
just switching to preview shows me the updated file. If I could get
the whole emacs thing working better, then once I figure out how emacs
works, I could scrap the whole screen thing altogether.
To save time I also compile to PS (--ps).
Ha! to reduce clutter, I have lilypond clean up ps files.
I do the same thing on my Linus box.
