I've searched but couldn't find an answer to: how do I select the: File, Edit, Options, Buffers, Tools, C++, etc. drop-down menus when running Emacs in console mode? Not the terminal menus.
And no, F10 ain't the answer.
If not F10, then M-x menu-bar-open ?

I'm not talking about the abreviations (which works fine); but rather keyboard shortcuts.
Like this one for instance, Ctrl+k is supposed to remove a tag(opening and closing) and re-arrange the inner HTML's indentation.
This is just one example, but most shortcust found in emmet's page, doesnt work on vscode, why is that ? how can I fix it ?
If you look at the Keyboard Shortcuts page and search for emmet you will see many emmet commands unbound to a keybinding. Including
editor.emmet.action.removeTag
[I think there are just too many emmet commands for vscode to have devoted keybindings to them when most people wouldn't use them.]
If you hover over any command and click on the + sign to its left vscode will open an input box where you can enter your desired shortcut keybinding.
I wouldn't recommend Ctrl+K as that is used as a part of a lot of default keybindings in vscode.
I'm trying to give a shot to emacs org mode, so I created a file and started adding bullets and tasks, all fine.
I'd love to use emacs in -nw mode so it would blend into my workflow, but, when I open an org file in -nw mode, it read the bullets, but I can't use any of the org mode shortcuts and I get none of its benefits. Already double checked if I was indeed in org mode.
Am I doing something wrong?
It seems like your terminal is intercepting your keystrokes, and you should go into its settings to change that. If you're using Terminal for OSX, go to Preferences, and under the Profiles tab, select your profile and then the Keyboard tab. At the bottom there are two check boxes, and you just need to check "Use Option as Meta Key"
How are we supposed to configure DrRacket so that it does not use Emacs key bindings? Like I type C-s and it just saves the code instead of bringing up the search line. Or I use C-x C-f and it won't open another file. The DrRacket documentation claims to not use Emacs bindings but it obviously does.
You want to disable the check box, Enable keybindings in menus.
Unfortunately this checkbox is a bit buried:
Open the Racket Preferences dialog.
Click the Editing tab.
There's a row of sub-tabs for that. Click the General sub-tab.
A few items down you should see the Enable keybindings in menus check box. Un-check it.
When running emacs in terminal mode (usually over a remote login) I can see the usual pulldown menus (file, edit, options etc) at the top of the screen, but I have no idea how to operate them.
Does anyone know how to do this?
You may use the function key f10 (menu-bar-open) to open the menu.
One way , install LaCarte and call lacarte-execute-menu-command
I've enabled emacs keyboard mode in VS2005 and so far I'm in love.
The only issue I've run into is I can't find the hot key that triggers the IntelliSense menu. C-j no longer does the trick as it's mapped to something else.
So what is the emacs-mode IntelliSense trigger key?
Secondly, how would one go about finding out what it is?
The IntelliSense trigger is Alt-/ (M-/ in traditional emacs notation).
This and a lot of other formatting-related commands live in the submenus at the bottom of the Edit menu.
