Jove

Jul 20, 2023

Jonathan’s Own Version of Emacs

Jove is a simple text editor in the spirit of GNU emacs, but somewhat smaller and faster to start up.

There are man pages for jove and teachjove. Teachjove is for people who have never used EMACS style editors. It is an interactive tutorial, THE tutorial written by Stallman for the original EMACS, only slightly modified for JOVE in the appropriate places. The man pages are completely up to date, thanks to me.
