My emacs (AAEMACS) which I wrote in Gnu C++ does allow alt-key. esc-key can be keybound different from the corresponding alt-key (e.g. alt-Q = reformat paragraph, esc Q = reformat region); but if you type an undefined esc key it calls the corresponding alt-key. > Some other things come out of the box wrong, like search, but at least that > one can be customized to be the automatic incremental search that Emacs has. AAEMACS has a magic search (but different meta codes from Micro Emacs) and an incremental search. > Which brings me to the point that customization is entirely different since > Micro-Emacs uses a vaguely C-like language for this, rather than Emacs Lisp. AAEMACS also uses a somewhat C-like format here, not Lisp. I had enough aggro having to write emacs macros in `Lots of Irritating Single Parentheses' format when using Prime mainframe emacs before I got a PC. I was never a Lisp fan. > Micro Emacs ... Windows Emacs (the Lucid Emacs port, from CICA) ... Is there a list anywhere of where to get all known emacses from?
