Emacs skill, or other editor?

General Discussion

Hello Mycrofters,

I’ve been corresponding with Richard Stallman, extolling the freedom, openness and privacy of Mycroft (yeah, that guy, arguably the father of GNU/Linux). He asks if he can use Mycroft to become more proficient at Emacs. Has anyone written such a skill? Or one for vi/vim/nano etc.?

Thanks.

Do you have any use cases in mind?

How about "Hey Mycroft -

  • Open file ‘x’ in Emacs"

  • Replace text ‘foo’ with ‘bar’"

  • Show all occurrences of text ‘foo’"

  • Go to line ‘n’"

  • Save file

  • etc.

More proficient? Didn’t he like…write large chunks of GNU Emacs?

I gotta say (and this is just like, my opinion, man) but using Mycroft to edit a text file with any text editor sounds like trying to use a coffee grinder to peel a banana.

@sparkyvision - More recently, he said he’d also like to be able to dictate. So think of taking notes or writing a letter without needing to use the keyboard.

All of these will be Python related, not editors (vim, emacs, pico, nano, etc…) related (my opinion).
