Aquamacs is a modified distribution of the Emacs text editor (from the GNU project, version 22.1.1). Unlike the original GNU Emacs, its user interface (UI) tries to conform with the UI standards on Macintosh computers.
Among the changes is that Aquamacs, by default, displays every file buffer in its own window (frame). A range of keybindings (keyboard shortcuts) that are standard on Mac OS X, such as Apple-W to close a window, or Apple-S to save the file, are available. A standard printing dialog and functions to efficiently use the Option key on Mac keyboards as Emacs Meta key have been added. The styles of windows can be automatically changed to suit the major mode used in the buffer shown. Visually, Aquamacs has been adapted in its icons and fonts, to look similar to other Mac applications.
Aquamacs has gained a substantial following among Mac owners and is popular amongst Emacs users and others alike. It has, however, also drawn occasional criticism from long-standing Emacs users and developers for its non-conformance to some Emacs usage paradigms.
