28: Glossary
29: ********
30:
31: Abbrev
32: An abbrev is a text string which expands into a different text string
33: when present in the buffer. For example, you might define a short
34: word as an abbrev for a long phrase that you want to insert
35: frequently. *Note Abbrevs::.
36:
37: Aborting
38: Aborting means getting out of a recursive edit (q.v.). The
39: commands `C-]' and `M-x top-level' are used for this.
40: *Note Quitting::.
41:
42: Auto Fill mode
43: Auto Fill mode is a minor mode in which text that you insert is
44: automatically broken into lines of fixed width. *Note Filling::.
45:
46: Auto Saving
47: Auto saving is when Emacs automatically stores the contents of an
48: Emacs buffer in a specially-named file so that the information will
49: not be lost if the buffer is lost due to a system error or user error.
50: *Note Auto Save::.
51:
52: Backup File
53: A backup file records the contents that a file had before the current
54: editing session. Emacs makes backup files automatically to help you
55: track down or cancel changes you later regret making. *Note Backup::.
56:
57: Balance Parentheses
58: Emacs can balance parentheses manually or automatically. Manual
59: balancing is done by the commands to move over balanced expressions
60: (*Note Lists::). Automatic balancing is done by blinking the
61: parenthesis that matches one just inserted (*Note Matching Parens: Matching.).
62:
63: Bind
64: To bind a key is to change its binding (q.v.). *Note Rebinding::.
65:
66: Binding
67: A key gets its meaning in Emacs by having a binding which is a
68: command (q.v.), a Lisp function that is run when the key is typed.
69: *Note Binding: Commands. Customization often involves rebinding a
70: character to a different command function. The bindings of all keys
71: are recorded in the keymaps (q.v.). *Note Keymaps::.
72:
73: Blank Lines
74: Blank lines are lines that contain only whitespace. Emacs has several
75: commands for operating on the blank lines in the buffer.
76:
77: Buffer
78: The buffer is the basic editing unit; one buffer corresponds to one
79: piece of text being edited. You can have several buffers, but at any
80: time you are editing only one, the `selected' buffer, though several
81: can be visible when you are using multiple windows. *Note Buffers::.
82:
83: Buffer Selection History
84: Emacs keeps a buffer selection history which records how recently each
85: Emacs buffer has been selected. This is used for choosing a buffer to
86: select. *Note Buffers::.
87:
88: C-
89: `C' in the name of a character is an abbreviation for Control.
90: *Note C-: Characters.
91:
92: C-M-
93: `C-M-' in the name of a character is an abbreviation for
94: Control-Meta. *Note C-M-: Characters.
95:
96: Case Conversion
97: Case conversion means changing text from upper case to lower case or
98: vice versa. *Note Case::, for the commands for case conversion.
99:
100: Characters
101: Characters form the contents of an Emacs buffer; also, Emacs commands
102: are invoked by keys (q.v.), which are sequences of one or more
103: characters. *Note Characters::.
104:
105: Command
106: A command is a Lisp function specially defined to be able to serve as
107: a key binding in Emacs. When you type a key (q.v.), its binding
108: (q.v.) is looked up in the relevant keymaps (q.v.) to find the
109: command to run. *Note Commands::.
110:
111: Command Name
112: A command name is the name of a Lisp symbol which is a command
113: (*Note Commands::). You can invoke any command by its name using
114: `M-x' (*Note M-x::).
115:
116: Comments
117: A comment is text in a program which is intended only for humans
118: reading the program, and is marked specially so that it will be
119: ignored when the program is loaded or compiled. Emacs offers special
120: commands for creating, aligning and killing comments.
121: *Note Comments::.
122:
123: Compilation
124: Compilation is the process of creating an executable program from
125: source code. Emacs has commands for compiling files of Emacs Lisp
126: code (*Note Lisp Libraries::) and programs in C and other languages
127: (*Note Compilation::).
128:
129: Complete Key
130: A complete key is a character or sequence of characters which, when typed
131: by the user, fully specifies one action to be performed by Emacs. For
132: example, `X' and `Control-f' and `Control-x m' are keys. Keys
133: derive their meanings from being bound (q.v.) to commands (q.v.).
134: Thus, `X' is conventionally bound to a command to insert `X' in
135: the buffer; `C-x m' is conventionally bound to a command to begin
136: composing a mail message. *Note Keys::.
137:
138: Completion
139: Completion is what Emacs does when it automatically fills out an
140: abbreviation for a name into the entire name. Completion is done for
141: minibuffer (q.v.) arguments when the set of possible valid inputs is
142: known; for example, on command names, buffer names, and file names.
143: Completion occurs when TAB, SPC or RET is typed. *Note Completion::.
144:
145: Continuation Line
146: When a line of text is longer than the width of the screen, it
147: takes up more than one screen line when displayed. We say that the
148: text line is continued, and all screen lines used for it after the
149: first are called continuation lines. *Note Continuation: Basic.
150:
151: Control-Character
152: ASCII characters with octal codes 0 through 037, and also code 0177,
153: do not have graphic images assigned to them. These are the control
154: characters. Any control character can be typed by holding down the
155: CTRL key and typing some other character; some have special keys on
156: the keyboard. RET, TAB, ESC, LFD and DEL are all control characters.
157: *Note Characters::.
158:
159: Copyleft
160: A copyleft is a notice giving the public legal permission to redistribute
161: a program or other work of art. Copylefts are used by leftists to enrich
162: the public just as copyrights are used by rightists to gain power over
163: the public.
164:
165: Current Buffer
166: The current buffer in Emacs is the Emacs buffer on which most editing
167: commands operate. You can select any Emacs buffer as the current one.
168: *Note Buffers::.
169:
170: Current Line
171: The line point is on (*Note Point::).
172:
173: Current Paragraph
174: The paragraph that point is in. If point is between paragraphs, the
175: current paragraph is the one that follows point. *Note Paragraphs::.
176:
177: Current Defun
178: The defun (q.v.) that point is in. If point is between defuns, the
179: current defun is the one that follows point. *Note Defuns::.
180:
181: Cursor
182: The cursor is the rectangle on the screen which indicates the position
183: called point (q.v.) at which insertion and deletion takes place.
184: The cursor is on or under the character that follows point. Often
185: people speak of `the cursor' when, strictly speaking, they mean
186: `point'. *Note Cursor: Basic.
187:
188: Customization
189: Customization is making minor changes in the way Emacs works. It is
190: often done by setting variables (*Note Variables::) or by rebinding
191: keys (*Note Keymaps::).
192:
193: Default Argument
194: The default for an argument is the value that will be assumed if you
195: do not specify one. When the minibuffer is used to read an argument,
196: the default argument is used if you just type RET.
197: *Note Minibuffer::.
198:
199: Default Directory
200: When you specify a file name that does not start with `/' or `~',
201: it is interpreted relative to the current buffer's default directory.
202: *Note Default Directory: Minibuffer File.
203:
204: Defun
205: A defun is a list at the top level of parenthesis or bracket structure
206: in a program. It is so named because most such lists in Lisp programs
207: are calls to the Lisp function `defun'. *Note Defuns::.
208:
209: DEL
210: DEL is a character that runs the command to delete one character of
211: text. *Note DEL: Basic.
212:
213: Deletion
214: Deletion means erasing text without saving it. Emacs deletes text
215: only when it is expected not to be worth saving (all whitespace, or
216: only one character). The alternative is killing (q.v.).
217: *Note Deletion: Killing.
218:
219: Deletion of Files
220: Deleting a file means erasing it from the file system.
221: *Note Misc File Ops::.
222:
223: Deletion of Messages
224: Deleting a message means flagging it to be eliminated from your mail
225: file. This can be undone by undeletion until the mail file is expunged.
226: *Note Rmail Deletion::.
227:
228: Deletion of Windows
229: Deleting a window means eliminating it from the screen. Other windows
230: expand to use up the space. The deleted window can never come back,
231: but no actual text is thereby lost. *Note Windows::.
232:
233: Directory
234: Files in the Unix file system are grouped into file directories.
235: *Note Directories: ListDir.
236:
237: Dired
238: Dired is the Emacs facility that displays the contents of a file
239: directory and allows you to "edit the directory", performing
240: operations on the files in the directory. *Note Dired::.
241:
242: Disabled Command
243: A disabled command is one that you may not run without special
244: confirmation. The usual reason for disabling a command is that it is
245: confusing for beginning users. *Note Disabling::.
246:
247: Dribble File
248: A file into which Emacs writes all the characters that the user types
249: on the keyboard. Dribble files are used to make a record for
250: debugging Emacs bugs. Emacs does not make a dribble file unless you
251: tell it to. *Note Bugs::.
252:
253: Echo Area
254: The echo area is the bottom line of the screen, used for echoing the
255: arguments to commands, for asking questions, and printing brief
256: messages (including error messages). *Note Echo Area::.
257:
258: Echoing
259: Echoing is acknowledging the receipt of commands by displaying them
260: (in the echo area). Emacs never echoes single-character keys; longer
261: keys echo only if you pause while typing them.
262:
263: Error
264: An error occurs when an Emacs command cannot execute in the current
265: circumstances. When an error occurs, execution of the command stops
266: (unless the command has been programmed to do otherwise) and Emacs
267: reports the error by printing an error message (q.v.). Type-ahead
268: is discarded. Then Emacs is ready to read another editing command.
269:
270: Error Messages
271: Error messages are single lines of output printed by Emacs when the
272: user asks for something impossible to do (such as, killing text
273: forward when point is at the end of the buffer). They appear in the
274: echo area, accompanied by a beep.
275:
276: ESC
277: ESC is a character, used to end incremental searches and as a
278: prefix for typing Meta characters on keyboards lacking a META
279: key. Unlike the META key (which, like the SHIFT key, is held
280: down while another character is typed), the ESC key is pressed
281: once and applies to the next character typed.
282:
283: Fill Prefix
284: The fill prefix is a string that should be expected at the beginning
285: of each line when filling is done. It is not regarded as part of the
286: text to be filled. *Note Filling::.
287:
288: Filling
289: Filling text means moving text from line to line so that all the lines
290: are approximately the same length. *Note Filling::.
291:
292: Global
293: Global means `independent of the current environment; in effect
294: throughout Emacs'. It is the opposite of local (q.v.). Particular
295: examples of the use of `global' appear below.
296:
297: Global Abbrev
298: A global definition of an abbrev (q.v.) is effective in all major
299: modes that do not have local (q.v.) definitions for the same abbrev.
300: *Note Abbrevs::.
301:
302: Global Keymap
303: The global keymap (q.v.) contains key bindings that are in effect
304: except when overridden by local key bindings in a major mode's local
305: keymap (q.v.). *Note Keymaps::.
306:
307: Global Substitution
308: Global substitution means replacing each occurrence of one string by
309: another string through a large amount of text. *Note Replace::.
310:
311: Global Variable
312: The global value of a variable (q.v.) takes effect in all buffers
313: that do not have their own local (q.v.) values for the variable.
314: *Note Variables::.
315:
316: Graphic Character
317: Graphic characters are those assigned pictorial images rather than
318: just names. All the non-Meta (q.v.) characters except for the
319: Control (q.v.) characters are graphic characters. These include
320: letters, digits, punctuation, and spaces; they do not include
321: RET or ESC. In Emacs, typing a graphic character inserts
322: that character (in ordinary editing modes). *Note Basic Editing: Basic.
323:
324: Grinding
325: Grinding means adjusting the indentation in a program to fit the
326: nesting structure. *Note Grinding: Indentation.
327:
328: Hardcopy
329: Hardcopy means printed output. Emacs has commands for making printed
330: listings of text in Emacs buffers. *Note Hardcopy::.
331:
332: HELP
333: You can type HELP at any time to ask what options you have, or
334: to ask what any command does. HELP is really `Control-h'.
335: *Note Help::.
336:
337: Inbox
338: An inbox is a file in which mail is delivered by the operating system.
339: Rmail transfers mail from inboxes to mail files (q.v.) in which the
340: mail is then stored permanently or until explicitly deleted.
341: *Note Rmail Inbox::.
342:
343: Indentation
344: Indentation means blank space at the beginning of a line. Most
345: programming languages have conventions for using indentation to
346: illuminate the structure of the program, and Emacs has special
347: features to help you set up the correct indentation.
348: *Note Indentation::.
349:
350: Insertion
351: Insertion means copying text into the buffer, either from the keyboard
352: or from some other place in Emacs.
353:
354: Justification
355: Justification means adding extra spaces to lines of text to make them
356: come exactly to a specified width. *Note Justification: Filling.
357:
358: Keyboard Macros
359: Keyboard macros are a way of defining new Emacs commands from
360: sequences of existing ones, with no need to write a Lisp program.
361: *Note Keyboard Macros::.
362:
363: Key
364: A key is a sequence of characters that, when input to Emacs, specify
365: or begin to specify a single action for Emacs to perform. That is,
366: the sequence is not more than a single unit. If the key is enough to
367: specify one action, it is a complete key (q.v.); if it is less than
368: enough, it is a prefix key (q.v.). *Note Keys::.
369:
370: Keymap
371: The keymap is the data structure that records the bindings (q.v.) of
372: keys to the commands that they run. For example, the keymap binds the
373: character `C-n' to the command function `next-line'.
374: *Note Keymaps::.
375:
376: Kill Ring
377: The kill ring is where all text you have killed recently is saved.
378: You can reinsert any of the killed text still in the ring; this is
379: called yanking (q.v.). *Note Yanking::.
380:
381: Killing
382: Killing means erasing text and saving it on the kill ring so it can be
383: yanked (q.v.) later. Some other systems call this "cutting".
384: Most Emacs commands to erase text do killing, as opposed to deletion
385: (q.v.). *Note Killing::.
386:
387: Killing Jobs
388: Killing a job (such as, an invocation of Emacs) means making it cease
389: to exist. Any data within it, if not saved in a file, is lost.
390: *Note Exiting::.
391:
392: List
393: A list is, approximately, a text string beginning with an open
394: parenthesis and ending with the matching close parenthesis. In C mode
395: and other non-Lisp modes, groupings surrounded by other kinds of matched
396: delimiters appropriate to the language, such as braces, are also
397: considered lists. Emacs has special commands for many operations on
398: lists. *Note Lists::.
399:
400: Local
401: Local means `in effect only in a particular context'; the relevant
402: kind of context is a particular function execution, a particular
403: buffer, or a particular major mode. It is the opposite of `global'
404: (q.v.). Specific uses of `local' in Emacs terminology appear below.
405:
406: Local Abbrev
407: A local abbrev definition is effective only if a particular major mode
408: is selected. In that major mode, it overrides any global definition
409: for the same abbrev. *Note Abbrevs::.
410:
411: Local Keymap
412: A local keymap is used in a particular major mode; the key bindings
413: (q.v.) in the current local keymap override global bindings of the
414: same keys. *Note Keymaps::.
415:
416: Local Variable
417: A local value of a variable (q.v.) applies to only one buffer.
418: *Note Locals::.
419:
420: M-
421: `M-' in the name of a character is an abbreviation for META,
422: one of the modifier keys that can accompany any character.
423: *Note Characters::.
424:
425: M-C-
426: `M-C-' in the name of a character is an abbreviation for
427: Control-Meta; it means the same thing as `C-M-'. If your
428: terminal lacks a real META key, you type a Control-Meta character by
429: typing ESC and then typing the corresponding Control character.
430: *Note C-M-: Characters.
431:
432: M-x
433: `M-x' is the key which is used to call an Emacs command by name.
434: This is how commands that are not bound to keys are called.
435: *Note M-x::.
436:
437: Mail
438: Mail means messages sent from one user to another through the computer
439: system, to be read at the recipient's convenience. Emacs has commands for
440: composing and sending mail, and for reading and editing the mail you have
441: received. *Note Sending Mail::. *Note Rmail::, for how to read mail.
442:
443: Mail File
444: A mail file is a file which is edited using Rmail and in which Rmail
445: stores mail. *Note Rmail::.
446:
447: Major Mode
448: The major modes are a mutually exclusive set of options each of which
449: configures Emacs for editing a certain sort of text. Ideally, each
450: programming language has its own major mode. *Note Major Modes::.
451:
452: Mark
453: The mark points to a position in the text. It specifies one end of
454: the region (q.v.), point being the other end. Many commands operate
455: on all the text from point to the mark. *Note Mark::.
456:
457: Mark Ring
458: The mark ring is used to hold several recent previous locations of the
459: mark, just in case you want to move back to them. *Note Mark Ring::.
460:
461: Message
462: See `mail'.
463:
464: Meta
465: Meta is the name of a modifier bit which a command character may have.
466: It is present in a character if the character is typed with the
467: META key held down. Such characters are given names that start
468: with `Meta-'. For example, `Meta-<' is typed by holding down
469: META and at the same time typing `<' (which itself is done,
470: on most terminals, by holding down SHIFT and typing `,').
471: *Note Meta: Characters.
472:
473: Meta Character
474: A Meta character is one whose character code includes the Meta bit.
475:
476: Minibuffer
477: The minibuffer is the window that appears when necessary inside the
478: echo area (q.v.), used for reading arguments to commands.
479: *Note Minibuffer::.
480:
481: Minor Mode
482: A minor mode is an optional feature of Emacs which can be switched on
483: or off independently of all other features. Each minor mode has a
484: command to turn it on or off. *Note Minor Modes::.
485:
486: Mode Line
487: The mode line is the line at the bottom of each text window (q.v.),
488: which gives status information on the buffer displayed in that window.
489: *Note Mode Line::.
490:
491: Modified Buffer
492: A buffer (q.v.) is modified if its text has been changed since the
493: last time the buffer was saved (or since when it was created, if it
494: has never been saved). *Note Saving::.
495:
496: Moving Text
497: Moving text means erasing it from one place and inserting it in
498: another. This is done by killing (q.v.) and then yanking (q.v.).
499: *Note Killing::.
500:
501: Named Mark
502: A named mark is a register (q.v.) in its role of recording a
503: location in text so that you can move point to that location.
504: *Note Registers::.
505:
506: Narrowing
507: Narrowing means creating a restriction (q.v.) that limits editing in
508: the current buffer to only a part of the text in the buffer. Text
509: outside that part is inaccessible to the user until the boundaries are
510: widened again, but it is still there, and saving the file saves it
511: all. *Note Narrowing::.
512:
513: Newline
514: LFD characters in the buffer terminate lines of text and are
515: called newlines. *Note Newline: Characters.
516:
517: Numeric Argument
518: A numeric argument is a number, specified before a command, to change
519: the effect of the command. Often the numeric argument serves as a
520: repeat count. *Note Arguments::.
521:
522: Option
523: An option is a variable (q.v.) that exists so that you can customize
524: Emacs by giving it a new value. *Note Variables::.
525:
526: Overwrite Mode
527: Overwrite mode is a minor mode. When it is enabled, ordinary text
528: characters replace the existing text after point rather than pushing
529: it to the right. *Note Minor Modes::.
530:
531: Page
532: A page is a unit of text, delimited by formfeed characters (ASCII
533: Control-L, code 014) coming at the beginning of a line. Some Emacs
534: commands are provided for moving over and operating on pages.
535: *Note Pages::.
536:
537: Paragraphs
538: Paragraphs are the medium-size unit of English text. There are
539: special Emacs commands for moving over and operating on paragraphs.
540: *Note Paragraphs::.
541:
542: Parsing
543: We say that Emacs parses words or expressions in the text being
544: edited. Really, all it knows how to do is find the other end of a
545: word or expression. *Note Syntax::.
546:
547: Point
548: Point is the place in the buffer at which insertion and deletion
549: occur. Point is considered to be between two characters, not at one
550: character. The terminal's cursor (q.v.) indicates the location of
551: point. *Note Point: Basic.
552:
553: Prefix Key
554: A prefix key is a key (q.v.) whose sole function is to introduce a
555: set of multi-character keys. `Control-x' is an example of prefix
556: key; thus, any two-character sequence starting with `C-x' is also
557: a legitimate key. *Note Keys::.
558:
559: Primary Mail File
560: Your primary mail file is the file named `RMAIL' in your home
561: directory, where all mail that you receive is stored by Rmail unless you
562: make arrangements to do otherwise. *Note Rmail::.
563:
564: Prompt
565: A prompt is text printed to ask the user for input. Printing a prompt
566: is called prompting. Emacs prompts always appear in the echo area
567: (q.v.). One kind of prompting happens when the minibuffer is used
568: to read an argument (*Note Minibuffer::); the echoing which happens
569: when you pause in the middle of typing a multicharacter key is also a
570: kind of prompting (*Note Echo Area::).
571:
572: Quitting
573: Quitting means cancelling a partially typed command or a running
574: command, using `C-g'. *Note Quitting::.
575:
576: Quoting
577: Quoting means depriving a character of its usual special significance.
578: In Emacs this is usually done with `Control-q'. What constitutes special
579: significance depends on the context and on convention. For example,
580: an "ordinary" character as an Emacs command inserts itself; so in
581: this context, a special character is any character that does not
582: normally insert itself (such as DEL, for example), and quoting
583: it makes it insert itself as if it were not special. Not all contexts
584: allow quoting. *Note Quoting: Basic.
585:
586: Read-only Buffer
587: A read-only buffer is one whose text you are not allowed to change.
588: Normally Emacs makes buffers read-only when they contain text which
589: has a special significance to Emacs; for example, Dired buffers.
590: Visiting a file that is write protected also makes a read-only buffer.
591: *Note Buffers::.
592:
593: Recursive Editing Level
594: A recursive editing level is a state in which part of the execution of
595: a command involves asking the user to edit some text. This text may
596: or may not be the same as the text to which the command was applied.
597: The mode line indicates recursive editing levels with square brackets
598: (`[' and `]'). *Note Recursive Edit::.
599:
600: Redisplay
601: Redisplay is the process of correcting the image on the screen to
602: correspond to changes that have been made in the text being edited.
603: *Note Redisplay: Screen.
604:
605: Regexp
606: See `regular expression'.
607:
608: Region
609: The region is the text between point (q.v.) and the mark (q.v.).
610: Many commands operate on the text of the region. *Note Region: Mark.
611:
612: Registers
613: Registers are named slots in which text or buffer positions or
614: rectangles can be saved for later use. *Note Registers::.
615:
616: Regular Expression
617: A regular expression is a pattern that can match various text strings;
618: for example, `l[0-9]+' matches `l' followed by one or more
619: digits. *Note Regexps::.
620:
621: Replacement
622: See `global substitution'.
623:
624: Restriction
625: A buffer's restriction is the amount of text, at the beginning or the
626: end of the buffer, that is temporarily invisible and inaccessible.
627: Giving a buffer a nonzero amount of restriction is called narrowing
628: (q.v.). *Note Narrowing::.
629:
630: RET
631: RET is a character than in Emacs runs the command to insert a
632: newline into the text. It is also used to terminate most arguments
633: read in the minibuffer (q.v.). *Note Return: Characters.
634:
635: Saving
636: Saving a buffer means copying its text into the file that was visited
637: (q.v.) in that buffer. This is the way text in files actually gets
638: changed by your Emacs editing. *Note Saving::.
639:
640: Scrolling
641: Scrolling means shifting the text in the Emacs window so as to see a
642: different part of the buffer. *Note Scrolling: Display.
643:
644: Searching
645: Searching means moving point to the next occurrence of a specified
646: string. *Note Search::.
647:
648: Selecting
649: Selecting a buffer means making it the current (q.v.) buffer.
650: *Note Selecting: Buffers.
651:
652: Self-documentation
653: Self-documentation is the feature of Emacs which can tell you what any
654: command does, or give you a list of all commands related to a topic
655: you specify. You ask for self-documentation with the help character,
656: `C-h'. *Note Help::.
657:
658: Sentences
659: Emacs has commands for moving by or killing by sentences.
660: *Note Sentences::.
661:
662: Sexp
663: A sexp (short for `s-expression') is the basic syntactic unit of Lisp
664: in its textual form: either a list, or Lisp atom. Many Emacs commands
665: operate on sexps. The term `sexp' is generalized to languages other
666: than Lisp, to mean a syntactically recognizable expression.
667: *Note Sexps: Lists.
668:
669: Simultaneous Editing
670: Simultaneous editing means two users modifying the same file at once.
671: Simultaneous editing if not detected can cause one user to lose his
672: work. Emacs detects all cases of simultaneous editing and warns the
673: user to investigate them. *Note Simultaneous Editing: Interlocking.
674:
675: String
676: A string is a kind of Lisp data object which contains a sequence of
677: characters. Many Emacs variables are intended to have strings as
678: values. The Lisp syntax for a string consists of the characters in
679: the string with a `"' before and another `"' after. A
680: `"' that is part of the string must be written as `\"' and a
681: `\' that is part of the string must be written as `\\'. All
682: other characters, including newline, can be included just by writing
683: them inside the string; however, escape sequences as in C, such as
684: `\n' for newline or `\241' using an octal character code,
685: are allowed as well.
686:
687: String Substitution
688: See `global substitution'.
689:
690: Syntax Table
691: The syntax table tells Emacs which characters are part of a word,
692: which characters balance each other like parentheses, etc.
693: *Note Syntax::.
694:
695: Tag Table
696: A tag table is a file that serves as an index to the function
697: definitions in one or more other files. *Note Tags::.
698:
699: Termscript File
700: A termscript file contains a record of all characters sent by Emacs to
701: the terminal. It is used for tracking down bugs in Emacs redisplay.
702: Emacs does not make a termscript file unless you tell it to.
703: *Note Bugs::.
704:
705: Text
706: Two meanings (*Note Text::):
707:
708: * Data consisting of a sequence of characters, as opposed to binary
709: numbers, images, graphics commands, executable programs, and the like.
710: The contents of an Emacs buffer are always text in this sense.
711: * Data consisting of written human language, as opposed to programs,
712: or following the stylistic conventions of human language.
713:
714: Top Level
715: Top level is the normal state of Emacs, in which you are editing the
716: text of the file you have visited. You are at top level whenever you
717: are not in a recursive editing level (q.v.) or the minibuffer
718: (q.v.), and not in the middle of a command. You can get back to top
719: level by aborting (q.v.) and quitting (q.v.). *Note Quitting::.
720:
721: Transposition
722: Transposing two units of text means putting each one into the place
723: formerly occupied by the other. There are Emacs commands to transpose
724: two adjacent characters, words, sexps (q.v.) or lines
725: (*Note Transpose::).
726:
727: Truncation
728: Truncating text lines in the display means leaving out any text on a
729: line that does not fit within the right margin of the window
730: displaying it. See also `continuation line'.
731: *Note Truncation: Basic.
732:
733: Undoing
734: Undoing means making your previous editing go in reverse, bringing
735: back the text that existed earlier in the editing session.
736: *Note Undo::.
737:
738: Variable
739: A variable is an object in Lisp that can store an arbitrary value.
740: Emacs uses some variables for internal purposes, and has others (known
741: as `options' (q.v.)) just so that you can set their values to
742: control the behavior of Emacs. The variables used in Emacs that you
743: are likely to be interested in are listed in the Variables Index in
744: this manual. *Note Variables::, for information on variables.
745:
746: Visiting
747: Visiting a file means loading its contents into a buffer (q.v.)
748: where they can be edited. *Note Visiting::.
749:
750: Whitespace
751: Whitespace is any run of consecutive formatting characters (space,
752: tab, newline, and backspace).
753:
754: Widening
755: Widening is removing any restriction (q.v.) on the current buffer;
756: it is the opposite of narrowing (q.v.). *Note Narrowing::.
757:
758: Window
759: Emacs divides the screen into one or more windows, each of which can
760: display the contents of one buffer (q.v.) at any time.
761: *Note Screen::, for basic information on how Emacs uses the screen.
762: *Note Windows::, for commands to control the use of windows.
763:
764: Word Abbrev
765: Synonymous with `abbrev'.
766:
767: Word Search
768: Word search is searching for a sequence of words, considering the
769: punctuation between them as insignificant. *Note Word Search::.
770:
771: Yanking
772: Yanking means reinserting text previously killed. It can be used to
773: undo a mistaken kill, or for copying or moving text. Some other
774: systems call this "pasting". *Note Yanking::.
