Have never used the spreadsheet inside emacs. But in emacs if you:

emacs foo.txt
This is a test

[in control window, type control-c, it kills emacs. If you type "emacs foo.txt" again, it asks you if you want to recover. If you recover, you get everything you typed.

(emacs actually CAN automate this, if you copy-paste a magic snippet from emacswiki that handles it, but even that feels like a bit of an ask.)

Pfft.
It's hilarious, emacs wiki even has a page on RSI, including an unironic recommendation to use foot pedals for the control keys

Working on the Emacs newbie experience
The Emacs Carnival April 2026 theme of newbies/starter kits nudged me to think about how new users can learn what they need in order to get started. In particular, I wanted to think about these questions that newbies might have: Is it worth it? How do I start? Should I use a starter kit? How? I'm stuck, how can I get help? This is overwhelming. How do I make it more manageable? I worked on some pages in the EmacsWiki: EmacsWiki: Emacs Newbie I removed or deemphasized some links that might be confusing for newbies. EmacsWiki: Learning Emacs I reorganized the items and added some more notes. EmacsWiki: Emacs Screencasts I tweaked the beginner information section. I added a section for starter kits. EmacsWiki: Starter Kits I added "Things to know before you start" to help newbies who might not have Git installed or who might not know how to get to the command line. I also organized the starter kits by type. EmacsWiki: Keybinding Guide Replaced the link with Mastering Emacs. The GNU copy of the Emacs FAQ is not responding to me at the moment even though downforeveryoneorjustme says that it's up, boo. People often recommend Emacs News to people who want to learn more about what's going on in the Emacs community, so I added some notes to that one as well. I added an introduction to the Emacs News category page to direct new people to some tips for making the most of Emacs News I moved the e-mail subscription above the RSS feed, since people are more familiar with e-mail as a subscription mechanism. I added a tutorial for setting up newsticker within Emacs. I set up some shorter URLs (sachachua.com/emacs-news, sach.ac/emacs-news, yayemacs.com/news). Just gotta find some newbies to test these ideas with… Email me! =) View Org source for this post You can e-mail me at sacha@sachachua.com.

X11 대상으로 빌드된 Emacs를 systemd 서비스로 실행할 경우, 서비스 시작 타이밍 때문에 XAUTHORITY를 못 잡아서 디스플레이 접근을 못하는 문제가 생기더군요.

다음 글에 graphical-session.target 을 사용한 타이밍 조정 이야기가 있는데, 일단 제 경우는 효과가 없었습니다. 또한 Wayland 대상으로 빌드된 Emacs의 경우 클립보드 접근이 불안정하네요.
