Open Source Emacs-Lisp Text Editors for Windows

markdown-mode is a major mode for editing Markdown-formatted text. The latest stable version is markdown-mode 2.5, released on Feb 12, 2022. See the release notes for details. markdown-mode is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL, version 3 or later. The primary documentation for Markdown Mode is available below, and is generated from comments in the source code. For a more in-depth treatment, the Guide to Markdown Mode for Emacs covers Markdown syntax, advanced movement and editing in Emacs, extensions, configuration examples, tips and tricks, and a survey of other packages that work with Markdown Mode. Finally, Emacs is also a self-documenting editor. This means that the source code itself contains additional documentation: each function has its own docstring available via C-h f (describe-function), individual keybindings can be investigated with C-h k (describe-key), and a complete list of keybindings is available using C-h m (describe-mode).

A GNU Emacs binary distribution for users who want to use Emacs natively in 64-Bit Windows (x86_64). This project will focus on providing unmodified, up-to-date (from git master and newest release), and optimized w64 binary builds. Also available on GitHub: https://github.com/zklhp/emacs-w64/releases For details concerning the build, please see the wiki page on https://sourceforge.net/p/emacsbinw64/wiki/Build%20guideline%20for%20MSYS2-MinGW-w64%20system/. 中文版请看这里： http://chriszheng.science/2015/03/19/Chinese-version-of-Emacs-building-guideline/.

SLIME is a Emacs mode for Common Lisp development. Inspired by existing systems such Emacs Lisp and ILISP, we are working to create an environment for hacking Common Lisp in. SLIME extends Emacs with support for interactive programming in Common Lisp. The features are centered around slime mode, an Emacs minor mode that complements the standard lisp mode. While lisp-mode supports editing Lisp source files, slime-mode adds support for interacting with a running Common Lisp process for compilation, debugging, documentation lookup, and so on. The Read-Eval-Print Loop ("top-level") is written in Emacs Lisp for tighter integration with Emacs. The REPL also has builtin "shortcut" commands similar to those of the McCLIM listener. SLIME is able to take compiler messages and annotate them directly into source buffers.

Dumb Jump is an Emacs "jump to definition" package with support for 50+ programming languages that favors "just working". This means minimal -- and ideally zero-configuration with absolutely no stored indexes (TAGS) or persistent background processes. Dumb Jump requires at least GNU Emacs 24.3. Dumb Jump uses The Silver Searcher ag, ripgrep rg, or grep to find potential definitions of a function or variable under point. It uses a set of regular expressions based on the file extension, or major-mode, of the current buffer. The matches are run through a shared set of heuristic methods to find the best candidate to jump to. If it can't decide it will present the user with a list in a pop-menu, helm, or ivy (see dumb-jump-selector). For the currently supported languages it seems to do a good job of finding what you want. If you find a case where it does not work as expected do not hesitate to open an issue. It can be slow if it needs to use grep and/or a project is large.

An extensible emacs startup screen showing you what’s most important. The widget “projects”, which shows a list of recent projects, is not enabled by default since it depends on packages that might not be available. To activate the widget, set the variable dashboard-projects-backend to either =’projectile= (projectile, available from melpa) or =’project-el= (project.el, available from GNU elpa), then add an entry like (projects . 5) to the variable dashboard-items. The agenda is now sorted with dashboard-agenda-sort-strategy following the idea of org-agenda-sorting-strategy. Supported strategies are priority-up, priority-down, ~time-up, time-down, todo-state-up and todo-state-down.

This is a collection of Evil bindings for the parts of Emacs that Evil does not cover properly by default, such as help-mode, M-x calendar, Eshell and more. Reduce context switching: As soon as “moving around” gets hardwired to <hjkl>, it becomes frustratingly inefficient not to have it everywhere. Community work: setting up bindings is tremendous work and joining force can only save hours for all of Evil users out there. While not everyone may agree on the chosen bindings, it helps to have something to start with rather than nothing at all. In the end, users are free to override a subset of the proposed bindings to best fit their needs. Having all bindings defined in one place allows for enforcing consistency across special modes and coordinating the community work to define a reference implementation.

The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs *and* Vim, courtesy of Spacemacs! Spacemacs is an extension of the popular text editor Emacs, that offers a whole new way of experiencing Emacs. It is a community-driven Emacs distribution that focuses on ergonomics, mnemonics and consistency. Using it comes naturally to both Emacs and Vim users. In fact, you could even combine the two editing styles. Enabling you to switch between input styles makes Spacemacs a great choice for pair-programming. Spacemacs features a beautiful GUI and exceptional ergonomics, with all the key bindings easily accessible simply by pressing the space bar or alt-m. Spacemacs also comes with hundreds of curated, ready-to-use packages that are well organised in configuration layers.

telega is a full-featured unofficial client for Telegram platform for GNU Emacs. telega is actively developed, for this reason, some features are not implemented, or they are present just as skeletons for future implementation. However, the core parts are mature enough so that it is possible to use telega on daily basis. telega depends on the visual-fill-column and rainbow-identifiers packages. This dependency automatically installs if you install telega from MELPA or GNU Guix. Otherwise, will you need to install these packages by hand? telega is built on top of the official library provided by Telegram TDLib. Most distributions do not provide this package in their repositories, in which case you will have to install it manually by following the instructions. GNU Guix, however, does have both telega and TDLib packaged. If you use GNU Guix you can skip directly to Installing from GNU Guix.

This project provides clean, optimized w64 binary builds of the latest Emacs git snapshots with image support enabled. It is, however, not *the* official distribution of Emacs. Happy hacking!

DictEm is an extremely customizable Dictionary client for (X)Emacs. It implements functions of the client part of the Dictionary protocol (RFC-2229). It widely uses autocompletion and provides powerful API that allows to heavily extend its functionality.

Bone Yard is a simple method for inserting default, mode specific, text into empty Emacs buffers. It's used to easily load boilerplate text to get started with new programs.

The Breadcrumb package is an Emacs add-on module that allows setting a series of quick bookmarks in Emacs. The bookmarks are global across different editing buffers, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs across them that you can jump back to quickly.

CC Mode is a GNU Emacs and XEmacs mode for editing C and other languages with similar syntax; currently C++, Objective-C, Java, CORBAs IDL, Pike, and AWK. It is a standard package in both GNU Emacs and XEmacs.

This is an Emacs distribution that aims to enhance the default Emacs experience. It alters a lot of the default settings, bundles a plethora of additional packages and adds its own core library to the mix. The final product offers an easy to use Emacs configuration for Emacs newcomers and lots of additional power for Emacs power users. It’s able to run on Windows, GNU Linux and macOS. It is compatible ONLY with GNU Emacs 26.1 and above. In general you’re advised to always run with the latest stable release, currently 28.2. Supports multiple programming languages, C/C++/Object-C/C#/Java, Python/Ruby/Perl/PHP/Shell/Powershell/Bat, JavaScript/Typescript/JSON/YAML, HTML/CSS/XML, and Golang/Swift/Rust/Dart/Elixir.

clojure-mode is an Emacs major mode that provides font-lock (syntax highlighting), indentation, navigation and refactoring support for the Clojure(Script) programming language. MELPA Stable is the recommended repo as it has the latest stable version. MELPA has a development snapshot for users who don't mind (infrequent) breakage but don't want to run from a git checkout. Available on the major package.el community maintained repos, MELPA Stable and MELPA repos. All the major modes derive from clojure-mode and provide more or less the same functionality. Differences can be found mostly in the font-locking - e.g. ClojureScript has some built-in constructs that are not present in Clojure. The proper major mode is selected automatically based on the extension of the file you're editing. Having separate major modes gives you the flexibility to attach different hooks to them and to alter their behavior individually (e.g. add extra font-locking just to clojurescript-mode) .

tree-sitter is an Emacs binding for Tree-sitter, an incremental parsing system. It aims to be the foundation for a new breed of Emacs packages that understand code structurally. Faster, fine-grained code highlighting. More flexible code folding. Structural editing (like Paredit, or even better) for non-Lisp code. More informative indexing for imenu. The author of Tree-sitter articulated its merits a lot better in this Strange Loop talk. The minor mode tree-sitter-mode provides a buffer-local syntax tree, which is kept up-to-date with changes to the buffer’s text. Run M-x tree-sitter-hl-mode to replace the regex-based highlighting provided by font-lock-mode with tree-based syntax highlighting.
