I'm not sure I am using ad-get-args and ad-get-arg right. For example, the following code doesn't work. (defun my-add (a b) (+ a b)) (defadvice my-add (after my-log-on activate) (message "my-add: %s" (ad-get-args))) (my-add 1 2) The last expression causes an error: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function ad-get-args). Th...
I thought I knew how to set coding-system (or encoding): use process-coding-system-alist. Apparently, it's not working. ;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*- (require 'cl) (let ((process-coding-system-alist '(("cygwin/bin/bash" . (utf-8-dos . utf-8-unix))))) (setq my-words (list "Lilo" "ಠ_ಠ" "_ಠ" "ಠ_" "ಠ" "Stitch") my-cygwin-bash "C:/cygwin/b...
Is there an Emacs minor-mode (or piece of elisp code) that lets you selectively hide/show environments while in LaTeX mode? For instance, I would like to move to the beginning of a long \begin{figure} block, hit a keystroke, and have the contents of that figure environment hidden from view. Similarly with \begin{proof} and so on, and ide...
I'm making some tedious calls to a bunch of functions, but the parameters will be determined at runtime. I wrote a simple function to keep my code DRY but giving it a name is unnecessary. I don't use this function anywhere else. I'm trying to do it the way I would in Scheme, but I get a void-function error: (let ((do-work (lambda (x y ...
I can move my pointer up and down one line with my arrow key just fine in Emacs, so I'd like to redefine C-n and C-p to move up and down 5 lines at a time. I'm just beginning to learn how to use Emacs, and elisp is very alien to me. I tried using the GNU Emacs lisp reference, but I couldn't find how to bind a keystroke to multiple comm...

Hey, I have a minor mode that also comes with a global mode. The mode have some key bindings and I want the user to have the posibility to specify what bindings should work for each mode.

I love Emacs' paredit-mode, but I miss it very sorely when doing eval-expression (M-:). How can I have paredit in the minibuffer when doing eval-expression? Thanks! ...
Imagine I've got the following in a text file opened under Emacs: some 34 word 30 another 38 thing 59 to 39 say 10 here 47 and I want to turn into this, adding 1 to every number made of 2 digits: some 35 word 31 another 39 thing 60 to 40 say 11 here 48 (this is a short example, my actual need...

Hi, I have some trouble setting up Tramp with EmacsW32 and cygwin. I have configured emacs to use cygwin as shell using w32shell. I also set the HOME enviromental variable to c:/cygwin/home/myusername Problem is that tramp seems to hang and that no connection is made: "Tramp waiting for prompts for the new shell". I have tried to turn...

Is there a way to run a shell command, have the output show up in a new buffer and have that output show up incrementally? Eshell and other emacs terminal emulators do a find job of this but I see no way to script them. What I'd like to do is write little elisp functions to do stuff like run unit tests, etc. and watch the output trickle...
Hi, does anyone know of a good way to distinguish dired-mode buffer names from other types of buffers in the minibuffer while using ido-mode? For instance... showing a forward-slash at end of a dired-mode buffer name? ...
Is there a difference between setting things for a mode using eval-after-load and using the mode hook? I've seen some code where define-key is used inside a major mode hook, and some other code where define-key is used in eval-after-load form. ...
I want to display a colored string of text in the minibuffer, but when I use the 'message' function, the text-properties of are stripped. ...
In Emacs, is there some short code that you can write (in .emacs, latex.el, or some other file) so that Latex mode treats code of form <% ... %> as a comment? ...
I have downloaded and installed Erlang and EmacsW32. But how do I use erlang.el in Emacs? Where do I place it or install it? I have read Erlang/OTP R13B04 documentation and Erlang mode for Emacs documentation but I haven't found any information about how to set up it.
