This is my version of MicroEmacs, based on the public domain version by Dave Conroy. I like it because it is small, fast, easilly customizable, and it ports readilly to whatever machine I need to use it on. It's written in the D programming language.
It currently works on Windows and Linux.

- mark start of a region
- minibuffer text entry box used for entering file names and search strings
- region text between "dot" and "mark"
- Regular Expressions
- ^[ also works as Esc.
- Names without a keybinding can't be accessed, but they can be called if the keybindings in main.c are updated.
- Prefixing a command with ^U enables a count to be entered, which executes the command count times.
- Pressing ^X, AltF, or Esc and then pausing will bring up a menu.
- The right mouse button will bring up a menu.
- The left mouse button can be used for setting the dot, marking regions, and adjusting window sizes.
- The minibuffer has a small history buffer, accessible with the uparrow key.
- On Win32, by clicking on the title bar, then select [Edit], you can access the Windows clipboard. This is very handy for cutting/pasting text from another window or the web browser.
- Some of the keybindings make no sense.
- The Alt function key sequences don't work on Win32.
- The control numeric pad sequences don't work on Linux.
- The colors can't be modified on any but the DOS version.
- The process functionality is flaky.
- For some reason, the mouse in the Win32 version doesn't work on Win2000, but does on WinNT.
