[comp.emacs] Announcing Easymacs: an all-in-one Emacs configuration for newbies

[David Kastrup]

The following announcement seems like an excellent reason to get
custom themes working.  While I have not looked at it yet, such
customization sets might be desirable to be available in the core
Emacs.  And there are also things like "Aquamacs" which change a lot
of default settings.  Having those available as a single theme which
the user can use all at once without losing his own customizations
seems desirable.

> Easymacs is an easy-to-learn, one-size-fits-all configuration for new
> users of GNU Emacs. It sets up key bindings that conform to a common
> denominator of the Gnome/KDE/OS X/Microsoft Windows human interface
> guidelines, and provides function-key bindings for other powerful Emacs
> features. It is fully documented, and the new user can productively edit
> text right away, without going through the Emacs tutorial. Many
> commonly-used functions can be accessed without having to learn the
> "chords", or multiple keystrokes that Emacs uses by default.
