In penance for cracking stupid jokes on Twitter, here's my Emacs cheat sheet. Emacs has a steep learning curve, so I've tried to order them by importance so you could learn them in stages.

One overall rule of thumb: pay attention to the minibuffer (the line at the bottom of the editor). It will often guide you through a process, and also gives you hints about what state you're in, such as the middle of a multi-chord sequence.

The other rule of thumb: when in doubt, C-g it out.

Basics (mandatory)

You simply can't get by without having these at your fingertips.

Building libtorrent for Linux requires Boost.Python to be built separately, while on Mac and Windows Boost.Python is integratind in libtorrent.

Pre-requisites: 1. Installed python 3.7

Download boost
Unpack to ~/boost for convenience
Run ~/boost/boostsrap.sh.

http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html

Libtorrent version 1.2.0 Python 3.7.2 Boost 1.69.0

installing python 3.7.2
Downloading libtorrent source
Downloading boost and unpacking it for convenience to ~/boost, such that bootstrap.sh would be in ~/boost/bootstrap.sh
Running ~/boost/bootstrap.sh
Copy files "b2" and "bjam" from ~/boost to /usr/local/bin

(NB: adapted from this Ask Ubuntu thread -- tested to work with Ubuntu 16 LTS branches and Ubuntu 17.10)

Unlike using VMWare Tools to enable Linux guest capabilities, the open-vm-tools package doesn't auto-mount shared VMWare folders. This can be frustrating in various ways, but there's an easy fix.

TL;DR

Install open-vm-tools and run:

sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other

Creating a "DMG installer" for OS X

A DMG Installer is convenient way to provide end-users a simple way to install an application bundle. They are basically a folder with a shortcut to the Applications directory but they can be customized with icons, backgrounds, and layout properties. A DMG file (.dmg) is a Mac OS X Disk Image file and it is used to package files or folders providing compression, encryption, and read-only to the package.

##Creating the DMG file #Disk Utility

	/* ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.Dict
	This file remaps the key bindings of a single user on Mac OS X 10.5 to more closely
	match default behavior on Windows systems.

	You must log out and back in to see these changes.
