Summary of my response to tons of comments (also in the comments section on the page):

OK, here’s a summary of the things I’ll include in the next version. I’ll test them on my own for a couple weeks before I repost it. Why wait a couple weeks if people already recommended things? Because I still believe that an editor is valuable, and I want to make I can 1) use these new things to make sure they’re valuable, and 2) understand them enough to distill the essence into a simple 1-pager.

Font - something that distinguishes between I and l (possibly Monaco, Consolas and Bitstream Vera) and double check it.

Other formats - didn’t know the *nix format of choice so I was waiting for someone to tell me. Not sure how plaintext would work (either one column w/regular font or multiple w/fixed width font) but I’ll put that and an HTML version up next time.

Paredit - recommended twice. Will investigate.

A few more commands regarding indenting, etc.

Refcard templates - never heard of them. I’ll take a look, thanks for the reference, PL Hayes.

Responses: RET: didn’t include it because the docs said it “mostly does what you think it does” and I agreed. M-. and M-, are on there under “Exploring”
