Right, there is still some activity on the github site (five months
ago), but the RPM no longer builds on Fedora (I tried it a couple of
days ago with the updated github versio).

I have pretty much given up on emacs now and am working to get nvim to a
(for me) saner state. It is quite amazing how quickly we adapt to new environments, though falling back to old ways of doing things,  out of unthinking old habit, is why readline is important.

My next stop: try to undo something without exiting insert mode. (Ctrl-/
in emacs).

Best wishes,
