Emacs 9.0pre3
Emacs - Extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor more>>
Enhancements:
- A major upgrade was made to keyboard handling: system-selected compositional input methods should now work, as well as more keys and keyboards. XPM, toolbar, and tooltip support were added.
- Some improvements were made to scrollbars, zooming, italic rendering, pasting, and the color panel.
- The ns-set-background-alpha function was added to work around the inability to customize with numeric colors.

Firemacs 3.7
Firemacs 3.7 is an extension to add Emacss editing features to Firefox which helps you enjoy less-like motions in non-input elements. more>>
Firemacs 3.7 is an extension to add Emacs's editing features to Firefox which helps you enjoy "less"-like motions in non-input elements.
- You can browse the available commands in the configuration window.
- 'M-' means 'ESC' 'C-['. The Alt key can also be used on Windows/UNIX.
- To disable a command, remove its key characters.
Tips: Problems specific to Mac:
- Typing C-a when Find Diag is displayed, all matched keys are highlighted after the cursor moves to the beginning of the line
- Set ui.key.generalAccessKey to 0 to disable this kind of accesskey (default -1)
- On Firefox 2, typing 'C-SPC' gets a menu appeared. Use 'C-i' instead
- This was fixed on Firefox 3 but came back on b5, sigh
Enhancements: Firemacs 3.6 does not work on second or later frames. So, backported the old code.

Aquamacs Emacs 1.8rc1
Text and code editor based on Emacs. more>>
Aquamacs Emacs 1.8rc1 provides users with a Mac-like distribution of the powerful Emacs text editor. It looks and behaves like a Mac program - even though it's still GNU Emacs with all the extensibility that millions have come to appreciate.
Emacs is a text editor of legendary power and configurability, but it also has an enormously complex interface. Aquamacs tames the Emacs tiger: you get Apple shortcuts (in addition to the Emacs ones), nice fonts, one file per window (if wanted), international input methods, Apple Help manuals and more. Aquamacs comes with a range of modes for various markup and programming languages: HTML, C/C , Java, Python, Perl, AppleScript, Tcl, XML, R (S)... These modes have extra functions for the languages, including excellent syntax highlighting. You can even use Aquamacs to read news and e-mail, just like any Emacs.

Emacs on Aqua 8.0.2
Emacs on Aqua - GNU Emacs ported to Mac OS X Cocoa more>>
This port offers superior platform support for the Aqua interface, including full desktop integration (dock, drag-and-drop, etc.), standard keybindings, use of standard Font, Color and File open/save panels, and support for Services. It also runs on other UNIX systems via GNUstep.
The port is based on GNU Emacs 20.7, which is one behind the latest major version. Emacs 21 added mostly UI enhancements, though some Lisp packages depend on 21-specific features. In many cases slightly older versions of these packages will work with Emacs-on-Aqua.
There are plans to update this port to version 21/22 once the GNU Emacs CVS codebase stabilizes.
Enhancements:
- Correct rendering for wide characters during cursor movement.
- Fix bungled hack in ispell bundling.
- Window size now displayed on resizes under OS X.

Enhanced Carbon Emacs is a tool that includes a fully customisable LaTeX editing environment based on AucTeX, RefTeX, Preview and other packages.
