        Hey Milan @mk73,

        I would absolutely love to share my experiences with the UBports users and give something back! Although will honestly admit that I consider myself more a "curator of assembled knowledge" (akin to standing on the shoulders of giants!) than an original fount of that knowledge. The internet and all its wonderful contributors have been my inspiration - but I do also realise the importance and use of actually having all of these titbits and tweaks in a single place.

        So, yep, consider me sold on writing an "emacs on UT" blog. It'll probably be quite useful for me to write some of this stuff down too 🙂

          @brywilson I use emacs to write my email, but I log into my server and read my email with mutt there, not right in the phone. I would also love to hear how you use emacs in the phone.

              @brywilson said in emacs...:

              I love the touch navigation in the UT Terminal and it's consistently the major reason I'm using UT

              I hear you 🙂

              I find it difficult to suggest improvements without sounding like I'm complaining - because in my opinion, there is no mobile device terminal that comes close to this...

              fair enough, but then maybe just as feedback to myself: Are you not struggling with the things I pointed out? Because then maybe I just need to find how I adjust my own usage pattern. Or are you simple being (too 🙂 ) humble here? No stray tabs in your .tex files?

              Looking forward to it.

              And to the promo clip that marketing is undoubtedly going to make out of it 🙂 whistle

                Is there a way to get a more recent version of Emacs than 24.5 on UT? (Also, does xmodmap work for rebinding capslock on an external bluetooth keyboard?)

                  @emacsomancer That is the version available in Ubuntu 16.04. You could add a PPA or such which has a newer version for 16.04 on armhf, if you wish, but eh only official archive version would be 24.5.

                    Right, no, I get that. What I actually wanted to ask is: (a) is there a PPA which has a newer version of Emacs for 16.04?[1] (b) If so, how do I add PPAs in Libertine?

                    [1] There's this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~kelleyk/+archive/ubuntu/emacs , but it's not clear to me whether it has support for arm.

                      there's options for this: libertine-container-manager configure --help

                        @emacsomancer Looking at that page, it does have ARM builds, so if you trust that PPA, you could use it.
