Drinkable Chicken

A few things I've learned since part 0:

• Carbon Emacs does support Mac-style keybindings like ⌘Q, they just need to be activated. See Help -> Carbon Emacs Package -> Mac-Style Key Bindings.

• I am now mapping Meta to Alt, as suggested (and demonstrated) in this comment. (Thanks Ozzi.)

• I can set the Mac font using (set-default-font "-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--13-140-72-72-m-140-mac-roman"). ^_^ Getting a list of available fonts is done using M-x set-default-font RET TAB TAB.

• Good luck trying to look for ".emacs" in Google or any other search engine. Fortunately there's such a thing as the dotemacs site, which offers a ton of example .emacs files.

• The Carbon Emacs Google group also seems helpful.

Open issues:

• I'm still trying to figure out how to resize the window automatically. Right now, when Emacs opens, the window is a little too big, and the bottom hides behind the dock.
  Update: Solved with (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 39)).

• I'm still debating whether I should use the semi-default Mac-style key bindings, or define my own. I like ⌘O to map to C-x C-f, for example, but Carbon Emacs shows a dialog box. It appears I can either use the predefined key bindings, *or* map Super to ⌘ and define its key bindings myself, but not both.

• I would like to select text by moving around with the cursor while pressing Shift... not sure if that can be done in Emacs.
