in thread Perl IDE's for Mac

Sorry, I was probably too vague. I use the Cocoa Emacs (used to use the Carbon port), and find the X11 version unbearable. That said, I think trying to shove Mac keybindings into Emacs is a bad idea.

    Most of the default Mac text widget keybindings are Emacs keybindings. C-f/C-b, C-n/C-p, yadda yadda yadda will pretty much do what J Random Emacsuser expects in most Cocoa text widgets.

    Update: Of course it just dawned on me you might be referring to cmd-O or cmd-S and what not, in which case yeah I agree with your sentiment.

      Yes, I was thinking about Apple-O, Apple-S, and friends. I have a bunch of keys bound Emacs-style in text widgets, but find Mac OS bindings in Emacs, as in Aquamacs, truly diseased.

    I had a lot of trouble getting the Cocoa one to work for me, but maybe it has improved since then. I do like having the same cut/paste/undo/save keys that I have elsewhere. It's just less mental work when jumping between apps.
