emacs Tools

The Pragmatic Programmers suggest learning one powerful text editor well. My suggestion is emacs. Here are some of the emacs extensions I find useful:

• emacs-w3m – Run w3m withing emacs, can do whatever w3m can do, great for editing Wiki pages or other “through-the-web” products where you edit lots of text.
• Tramp – Powerful extension makes remote Linux/UNIX filesystem looks local to emacs via SSH connection.
