Description

Anju (안주) is a project to align mouse interactions in Emacs with contemporary expectations in 2026. Effort towards this alignment is made in the areas of context-sensitive menus, de-emphasis of middle mouse button usage, support for direct manipulation, and re-organization of the main menu bar. The features offered by Anju are opinionated, but avoids unconventional behavior. Anju aspires to bring a calmer mouse experience to Emacs.

This talk will present an overview of Anju (https://kickingvegas.github.io/anju/), describing its design decisions and implementation.

About the speaker: Charles Choi is a Computer Engineer and Emacs enthusiast.
