My campus only lets ssh access through a gateway server. So to access the cluster I am coding on I have to ssh to the gateway and then ssh to the machine I am working on. The connection is very slow at times and is frustrating to work on. I would love to use something like tramp which I understand would have the buffer open on my local ...
I'd like to re-format all my source files using the Google formatting function for emacs: google-c-style.el (see here). How can I apply this function to all my source files at once, so that they are all formatted and indented correctly according to the Google style? ...
I'm trying to debug a swf using fdb, the flash debugger that comes with the flex SDK, on Linux. Debugging from a terminal works, but if I do it from within Emacs by doing M-x gdb fdb -f myswf.swf RET fdb seems to hang as soon as I issue any commands (e.g "help" or "c"). I get no output in the fdb buffer and the flash player hangs wait...
I'm using JDE for writing a larger project. Coming from Eclipse, i miss the run configurations. Basically, there are several different classes in the project that i would like to launch. Some of them are applets, some of the are regular classes with a main method. I would also like to be able to specify different run time arguments to th...
How does one make M-( the default behavior for typing an opening "(" character? I want Emacs to automatically insert the closing ")" after the cursor when I type a "(" character regardless of whether it's part of an M-key combination. Additionaly, I want to extend this behavior to quotes, subquotes, brackets and braces. Typing M-( is a p...
In Emacs, how can I enforce a maximum line length of, say, 80 characters? I want it to insert proper line breaks in my code, much like fill-paragraph for text, if possible, with the correct insertion of the second part of the line. Here a little example: LongNameType<PrettyLong, AlsoLong> doSomethingWithLongFunctionName(int a, int b); ...
To set tabs in emacs I have this line in my .emacs: (global-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'tab-to-tab-stop) I'm looking for some way to make all modes show tabs in emacs as 4 spaces and have emacs save the tabs as tab characters (instead of saving them as spaces). If I'm using c-mode that .emacs line will make tabs look like 8 spaces and save ...
I can't seem to find this on google anywhere. I am trying to move to emacs from eclipse but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set my svn author name so it doesn't default the author name OR save the password so I don't have to type it in any each time. I am Ubuntu 8.10 if that matters. Any insight would be great. Thanks. ...
Sometimes I need to read log files that have ^M (control-M) in the line endings. I can do a global replace to get rid of them, but then something more is logged to the log file and, of course, they all come back. Setting unix-style or dos-style end-of-line encoding doesn't seem to make much difference (but unix-style is my default). I...
I'm trying to get emacs to correctly format the "for each" construct in c++. I want the braces to be lined up with the f in for in both of the following examples: for each(Type a in b) { //^c^s shows substatement-open //... do stuff } for( ; ; ) { //^c^s shows substatement-open //... do stuff } In b...
I have searched the Web for this, but with no luck. Any idea? Thanks. ...
I've been using Emacs for quite some time for basic text editing but as of today I am attempting to use it for c++ compilation. I have looked for the past few hours about how to go about this but I keep hitting roadblocks in their techniques (I think some of this is having to do with the tutorials being outdated). Basically, all I want ...
I have two screens, one is empty and the other is Emacs' manual. My cursor is at the empty screen. All my commands affect the empty screen. A similar command in Vim is C-w. How can you switch to the Emacs' manual such that I can roll down the screen by C-v? ...
I have used Vim for coding. I want to learn Emacs too. I would like to export at least some of the following customizations in my .vimrc to my .emacs. My .vimrc let Tlist_Auto_Open = 1 " http://stackoverflow.com/questions/165231/vim-dvorak-keybindings-rebinding " Dvorak it! no d h no h j no t k no n l no s : no S : no j d no J D no ...
I want to hide the welcome screen. My .emacs (setq c-basic-offset 4) ; indents 4 chars (setq tab-width 4) ; and 4 char wide for TAB (setq indent-tabs-mode nil) ; And force use of spaces (turn-on-font-lock) ;...
If I only have one window showing in emacs and use M-x compile, the window splits in two and I can watch the compile buffer easily. However, if I have more windows showing, the compilation log takes over one of the others, which I find irritating. How can I make emacs always split a new window to show the compilation log? Edit: A bit ...
I use emacs to do some coding, and text editing, When I create a new coding project, I simply create a new folder, and add source code into it. The problem is, with multi-forders, it is hard to change back to the top, and run the makefile. Is there any good method to do project management like eclipse or other IDE? ...
Is there a good emacs mode that will allow tab-completion of local python variables? I set up ipython.el but it will only tab-complete things in the scope of the interpreter. I'm looking for something that will let me tab-complete tokens in the local namespace of a function or file. ...
I'm doing a bit of programming here and there in Emacs Lisp, but I'm not entirely sure how to go about certain things. I'm trying to insert a whole month of dates, each on a new line like the list below: January 01/01/09 Mon: 02/01/09 Tue: 03/01/09 Wed: etc How would I go about doing that? I've found how to format dates, but I can...
When using insert-kbd-macro to save a named keyboard-macro I get "unreadable" lisp-code like (fset 'ppsql (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro."
