I'm trying to get emacs tramp running under Windows XP to work over putty plink on an Amazon EC2 instance. The documentation for doing this is sparse. I can find partial documentation, but none that addresses all the steps required to get this working. Can anyone provide a walk through, or a pointer to a walk through? ...
There seem to be a few camps when it comes to Emacs on OSX; Carbon versus Aqua Emacs. It seems the argument is that Aqua is a bit too far from standard Emacs and if you get too comfortable then you will have trouble using any other build of Emacs. As a developer who has been trying to get into Emacs for a few months now, I have been us...
I've been a UNIX sysadmin for a long time, and aside from automating tasks with shell scripting, some light PHP work, and a few simple C programs, I've never done much in the way of programming. I recently decided to stretch my mind a bit and learn Common Lisp. I'm half-way through Touretzky's "Gentle Intro" and, having just reached th...
Hi, I just learned emacs archive-mode can let me edit files such as web.xml in a ear easily but I wonder if I have an updated jar file, can I use emacs to replace the old jar in that ear using command-line based emacs? (I have to ssh into servers using putty). Thanks a lot, Dean ...

Is there any usable emacs mode for Rscript? (Rscript is the script front-end for the R language.) If I type this: #!/usr/bin/Rscript print(commandArgs(TRUE)) and do indent in the ESS R-mode it indents the first line like crazy, since it sees it as a comment: #!/usr/bin/Rscript print(commandArgs(TRUE)) ...
If I have multiple files marked, how do I find/visit all those marked files in emacs, beside running dired-find-file on each of them? Is there a build-in command, or do I need some extra lisp code? ...
Is there a command line shell or shell customization that supports emacs-style ido find file? In emacs, I can navigate to a directory extremely quickly using C-x C-f and (ido-mode t). Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that can be used outside of emacs. Though I'd be open for a way to quickly change directories within an eshell buffe...
Has anyone encountered a problem with emacs on windows and java input ? (read-line) in the REPL does not recognise the delimiter (well thats my guess). Using a vanilla clojure in the box, same issue. Further clarification. Using (read-line) or the scanner class within the REPL in EMACS the reader will not respond to return (As in it...
Emacs and Java change propagation Hi, I'm mostly used to code in IDE like Eclipse but I wanted to try emacs. Because I keep hearing about how much better it is than big IDE like Eclipse and Visual Studio. So I was looking at what emacs provides for Java (with the JDEE extension) but it doesn't seem as complete as Eclipse. One of the m...
I am new to emacs and I would like to use emacs-rails for editing rhtml files. I have been at it for awhile with no luck. I have followed the directions on this page http://developer.idapted.com/2009/1/13/install-and-config-emacs-for-rails I get an error that Symbol's value as variable is void "/.emacs.d/rails" This just seems to be mo...
I've got a python script that loops indefinitely waiting for input, and then does something when the input happens. My problem is then making python tell emacs to do something. I just need some way to send emacs input and make emacs evaluate that input. Here's some code to illustrate my problem... while(1): on_off = query_lightswit...
Googling "csharp mode emacs" yields the page http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CSharpMode which includes a few links to various downloadable emacs lisp files. The 2005 link (DylanMoonfire) is broken, so I downloaded: http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-list/2002-May/006182.html as ~/.emacslib/csharp-mode.el and added: (auto...
I typically code my PHP with one level of indentation after the initial <?php, but I'm having trouble finding a setting for this in Emacs with php-mode. To be clear, here's what Emacs is doing: <?php echo "Hello."; if (something) do_something(); And here's how I usually code: <?php echo "Hello."; if (something) ...
To put it simply, I'm trying to get scrolling in emacs like in vim and most other editors; when I'm for example, two lines from the bottom/top, and I press down/up (Ctrl-p,n, Up,down) it goes only one line up or down, not half the screen. ...
Hey Emacs users. I've started to use Emacs and I've been looking up ways to improve my .emacs file. Some of the stuff goes over my head. But what I wanted to know is what is in your .emacs file that your couldn't go without. ...
I've set up two versions: My computer apt-get emacs 23.0.91 Remote server yum emacs 21.4 I've downloaded color-theme-6.6.0, put the files in /usr/share/emacs/-version-/lisp/, and I have this in my .emacs: (require 'color-theme) (color-theme-initialize) (color-theme-midnight) Running emacs in a terminal, all the colo...
I would like to be able to use Matlab-mode (matlab.el) to run a matlab shell. The only problem is, Matlab is located on a remote host. Is this even possible? If so, please explain. I'm currently playing around with tramp but to no avail. Thanks. ...
I tend to run my shell in emacs, but when I use it to ssh into another computer this breaks tab-completion. Is there a way to fix this? ...
Twice in the past two days, I've had a problem with my emacs sessions. Somehow emacs is keeping the focus within one frame. So, if I mouse over another frame and click in it, the cursor in the new frame stays put and the cursor in frame 1 moves as if I clicked in the corresponding position in it. Same happens with mouse-wheel scrollin...
