However, when it comes to emacs, it does a _lot_ that EVE does not do.
For one simple but very important example, you have brace matching in
emacs so you can easily check the closing brace matches the correct
opening brace.

 
EVE does not have that out of the box.
 
But then EVE has relative little out of the box.
 
You can add it.

How is this run ? Do you have to manually press a key to do the matching
or does the routine get called automatically as you type (as in emacs) ?

I also don't see what happens if the opening brace is off the top of the
screen. For emacs, it shows the matching source code in the status line
at the bottom of the screen in this case.
