Is there any chance to change in Emacs 23.1.1 a keybinding for (toggle-input-method) to <Meta+Shift> or <Alt+Shift> (because I use <Alt> as <Meta>)? This, obviously, doesn't work: (global-set-key [(meta shift)] 'toggle-input-method) Thanks in advance. ...

Here are some specific questions I have: How do I create a new clojure file in emacs and Load an ...

I was reading the Simple Database section of Peter Siebel's book Practical Common Lisp with the idea of maintaining a small database of around 50,000 records. I thought doing this in Emacs might be an interesting, and useful, exercise. Emacs Lisp is somewhat compatible with CL except for a few notable differences. The format function ...

I'm in a class that uses an implementation of Emacs on a school server. I'm on a mac running snow leopard, and I have my own implementation of Emacs on it. To access the server-Emacs, I ssh into the server and launch Emacs from its location there. I'm relativly new to emacs, and I have a particular problem whenever I try to access the ...

It seems one is not supposed to quote KEYMAP when using define-key. (define-key org-remember-mode-map "\C-c\C-r" 'org-remember-kill) I'm confused because I think that all arguments of a function that is not quoted are evaluated, and according to the help, define-key is a function, not a macro. I don't see why the value of KEYMAP can b...
I've tried several methods of keeping a log of my day-to-day activity when writing code. None of them really worked all that well.
