What features do we want of a good text editor? Purely text, not anything smarter like program code or structured documents.
A good macro language
Change the displayed font and size -- easier on the eyes.
Word wrap
Kill ring
Cut and paste
Location registers and mark stack
Unlimited undo and redo
Find and replace
Incremental search (Isearch)
Regular expressions
Split screen views of the same file
Of course, these are a subset of Emacs features I cannot live without. What others?
This is motivated by being thus far unable to find a good text editor for Android.
