It does not work from both Nexus 7 Tablet, and Google Nexus phone (latest)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is just silly. Emacs isn't an OS. It provides an API to some library and system calls, but it isn't even multi-threaded. If your comment was meant as a hat tip to the Symbolics Genera system, that was a full-fledged OS, then there could be debate. I love Lisp and would dearly love to customize my Jelly Bean experience with it, but then we'd need to get into a discussion of what is really better, and 80's OS or A…
IIRC, one of the original goals of Emacs was to replicate the environment of Lisp machines. With that in mind, it could be considered an OS not unlike Smalltalk environments such as Squeak.
No, that was Stallman working for LMI reproducing all of the Symbolics environment, because he was pissed that MIT sold the rights to work done in the AI lab to Symbolics.
So? A Vim port's been out for a few months. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.momodalo.a... . /dons my flame-retardant jacket
And even longer on iPad, but these will only be useful when they can deal with ESC key. Vim without ESC is like Word without mouse.
Doesn't this have to be open-sourced? Emacs is GPL'd. I might want to help out with the development.
Anyone trying to use this on a device with its own keyboard? eg. http://www.androidauthority.com/best-keyboard-qwerty-android... Be interested to hear how usable you can make it. Whether you can remap keys or buttons to all the major modifiers. Emacs 23 on the Nokia N900 is the reason I recently bought that phone even though Nokia is so uncool now and everything (works excellently, BTW).
