Natural order sort for Emacs Lisp

How to have emacs save file at multiple locations?
Is there an easy way to have emacs save current buffer in two locations? I could in the 'after-save-hook' programmatically copy the current file to a second location, but writing lisp code for that might take some time. For those that are curious why I want this: I want the changes I make to my JSP immediately be deployed in tomcat's we...

comparison table for emacs regexp and perl compatible regular expression (PCRE)?
Is there a nice table or a cheatsheet on the web that compares the sytax of emacs regex and PCRE? That I have to remember to escape grouping parenthesis and braces and other differences when I'm using emacs regex, it's all confusing, a syntax comparison table would be good for minimizing confusion. ...
Emacs: how to set up warning of file size significantly reduced, when saving file?
I had just lost most of the content of my notes in a text file, when I used emacs, and there was a bug, but I ignored the error message, and forced a file save.

Emacs Etags Returning to Starting Buffer/Position
I am in buffer A and use M-. on some function name which jumps me to buffer B. From that function, I use M-. again which jumps me to buffer C. Now I have seen what I want and want to go back to buffer A. I don't know of a command to do this without opening the buffer list and finding the buffer I was in or remembering the buffer's name a...
Why does sshfs cause these emacs artifacts?
After opening a file in emacs (over an ssh tunneled, sshfs mounted file system) I get symbolic links like this: .#jobid.php -> [email protected]:1260471633 We have determined that these are emacs LOCK files. The sshfs filessystem is mounted with follow_symlinks and transform_symlinks, but it appears to be refusing to re...

Where is the .emacs file in windows (I'm using Emacs-23-CvsP091103-EmacsW32-1.58 ) When Emacs starts up, it attempts to load and execute the contents of a file commonly called .emacs (though it may have other names, see Where do I put my init file?) which contains any customizations you have made. You can manually add lis...

Emacs c-mode fill-paragraph with Doxygen Comments
Hello, I have a question that is very similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/71788/getting-emacs-fill-paragraph-to-play-nice-with-javadoc-like-comments, but I wasn't sure if I would get many answers in a year old thread. Anyhow, I have C code that has some Doxygen comments that look like the following: /** * Description * * ...
Forcing myself to master Emacs
Assuming a superficial knowledge exists, how might one go about forcing a mastery of Emacs? Assume also that said person currently uses Aquamacs but falls back on Mac OS X-isms far too often. This person is serious (this time for sure), and needs some advice. ...
how to run certain elisp code after starting a new emacsclient frame?
For how to automatically evaluate certain lisp code every time starting an emacsclient, click here. My problem is different.

Can emacs longlines-mode or visual-line-mode be made to respect indentation and lists?
I use emacs to edit most of my answers for SO, and although I use longlines-mode (I have not upgraded to emacs 23 because of some critical bugs that don't look like being fixed any time soon), I can't find a way to get longlines-mode to respect the indentation used for Markdown. I would really like to fix this, but I want it for an ordi...

I'm not blind, I just want to have a way to have my Windows machine read the contents of a buffer outloud. Here are the basic requirements: Read any English text buffer.

Controlling Festival Output
I am working on improving Festival on Emacs. I need better control of Festival when it reads a sentence. Basically, I need two things: Show what word is being read. Change the speed (and maybe pitch) of what is being read. Ideally, there would be some data structure output by Festival that would link offset/length (usually the star...
