I have hooks in CM.app that IN THEORYtshould allow you start under
whatever editor you want.
IN THEORY you should be able to do:
defaults write -app CM editor /sw/bin/xemacs
and away you go. but there are two probelms, the first minor, the
second major:
1. you have to fix a typo of mine:
edit the script CM.app/Contents/MacOS/cmapp.sh and change the line:
EDITOR=`defaults read -app Common\ Music editor 2>/dev/null`
to:
EDITOR=`defaults read -app CM editor 2>/dev/null`
2. It still wont work because OS X deesnt seem to want to start
XWindows/xemacs from a shell command exec'ed under a double-clicked
App. I dont know why, maybe some OSX guru on the list (if there are
any) could help me out. I played around with it for an hour or so and
gave up, im not sure its evne possible.
Once you give up trying to launch xemacs, you can reset CM.app back to
the default Emacs.app editor choice by doing:
defaults delete -app CM editor
I actually use both Emacs.app and xemacs on OSX i honestly now prefer
the Aqua version (I still perfer xemacs on all ny other machines...)
so you might try the Aqua Emacs at mindlube out, its quite pretty and
has nice features.
