Hey folks, is it possible to invoke the graphical menu that pops up with 'mouse-buffer-menu (which in my case is assigned to '[C-down-mouse-1]) without actually hitting the mouse? When I invoke M-x mouse-buffer-menu emacs tells me execute-extended-command: mouse-buffer-menu must be bound to an event with parameters Is it possible, t...
Hi,I can't use any shortcut that has meta-shift (alt and shift) in it because ubuntu will treat it as "change keyboard layout" shortcut (I map it to alt-shift since I use the same shortcut in windows) as soon as I press m-s. In windows change keyboard layout shortcut doesn't register until you release the key so any shortcut with m-s is ...
As an Emacs beginner, I am working on writing a minor mode. My current (naive) method of programming elisp consists of making a change, closing out Emacs, restarting Emacs, and observing the change. How can I streamline this process? Is there a command to refresh everything? ...

I'm in my second year of my CS major, and I've only had courses in C (first course and then a polymorphic data structures course), C++ (OOP focus), MIPS assembly, and a compiler course. I worked in WinForms and C# over the summer. I worked through the Little Schemer and I'm really interested in learning some sort of LISP. Emacs is my e...
In emacs, I sometimes invoke call-last-kbd-macro by mistake. When undoing I would have expected undo to undo the entire effect of the keyboard macro atomically, but that does not happen. Instead I find myself having to undo each step of the macro one at a time. How can I get emacs to return to the buffer state before the execution of the...
I need to automatically send an email from within an elisp function. Hypothetically, I would like a single function which I can pass in the to, from, subject, body, and possibly other headers. Does such a function exist? If not how could it be implemented? ...
To me, reading long camel cased words can sometimes be a bit frustrating. For example: aReallyLongCamelCasedMethodNameWhichIsTooSelfDescribing Now, look at this version: a_Really_Long_Camel_Cased_Method_Name_Which_Is_Too_Self_Describing Which version is easier on your eyes? The second one is for mine. While using Emacs, I stumbled...
Hi all, I'm trying to use smart-operator.el in emacs. I've put the following into my init.el file: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/dotemacs_git/smart-operator/") (require 'smart-operator) (smart-operator-mode 1) That doesn't seem to turn on smart-operator-mode automatically ...

I'm trying to setup fastri (http://eigenclass.org/hiki/fastri) on emacs running on cygwin in windows. The ruby install is also from cygwin, not the windows version of ruby. After downloading, unpacking the tarball and running setup.rb, when I attempt to run qri or fri, I get the following error message: [/cygdrive/g]$qri /usr/lib/r...
Since it may be a good idea to have lines that are not wider than 80 characters in code files, what's the most effective way of recursively identify these lines in an existing project using Emacs? UPDATE: Using Trey's suggestion, I'm currently using the following code: (defun find-long-lines (base-dir) "Recursively look for lines lo...
I'm trying to learn emacs, getting vi custom key bindings. Using Viper-mode, what is the correct way to re-bind a key? (I'm using Colemak keyboard layout(instead of qwerty) so have to change things like n->j) But would like it to work in viper-mode. From this key binding guide on GNU.org: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_n...
In GNU Emacs, what is [C-tab]?

In the emacsclient documentation, an example EDITOR setting is: EDITOR="emacsclient --alternate-editor emacs +%d %s" How can the %d and %s be used? I understand that + starts at the specified line and the %s is the file name to edit, but what program replaces %d and %s the values? For example, if subversion tried to kick of $EDITOR,...
I use emacs to edit scripts and code files on several different servers. TRAMP is working very well. However, when I exit emacs, all my tramp connections go away. I tried desktop-save-mode, but only local files show up when I restart emacs. Is there some package that will remember tramp connections? Is this just a configuration issu...
