Any way to configure Carbon Emacs to use the Option key as a Meta key, rather than the Command key? I like having a consistent set of keybindings no matter if I am using Emacs in a terminal or Carbon Emacs. Also, I really would like Paste back on command-v. ...
Hi all, I've recently started using screen in remote sessions. One problem is that emacs doesn't recognize its C-a and I don't want to bind emacs C-a to something else, as I'm very used to it. Google shows ways to change every keybinding individually using ~/.screenrc but not how to change a keybinding globally. I want all C-a to ch...
Does anybody know any good video tutorial for Emacs (basics)? I found very good tutorials for Vim in Youtube and Vimeo. But for some reason, emacs's video tutorials have all bad quality (can't even read the code). Any suggestions? (I know you can call me lazy reader) ...
I would like to export from Org-Mode tables to s-expressions. | first | second | thrid | |--------+--------+--------| | value1 | value2 | value3 | | value4 | value5 | value6 | Would turn into: ((:FIRST "value1" :SECOND "value2" :THIRD "value3") (:FIRST "value4" :SECOND "value5" :THIRD "value6")) I plan on writing such a setup if...
Emacs wiki says: Company does interfere with Yasnippet’s native behaviour. Here’s a quick fix: http://gist.github.com/265010 The code is the following: (define-key company-active-map "\t" 'company-yasnippet-or-completion) (defun company-yasnippet-or-completion () (interactive) (if (yas/expansion-at-point) (progn ...
I've been a fairly regular emacs user for about 4 years, but I'm still a newbie when it comes to customizing emacs and troubleshooting elisp. Recently, I've started customizing emacs as my ruby development environment and I've learned a few techniques from the folks here in StackOverflow. For example, some one here told me about C-u C-M...
This seems like a pretty typical use case, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out. There must be something fundamental I'm missing. find-dired is basically a front end to the find command that yields a dired-buffer of results find-grep-dired seems to be more of a front end to grep more so than find. and yields a dired-buffer but it...
I'm running pdb on my testcases in Python through the gud buffer. When I get a stacktrace/failure in my testcase, it looks like this: FAIL: test_foo_function (__main__.TestFoo) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "test/testfoo.py", line 499, in test_foo_functi...

I have this in my .emacs: (set-frame-font "Consolas-10") and I also tried this: (set-frame-font "Consolas-10") But the font between the <h2>tags are not Consolas (or maybe Italic Consolas): How can I change the font of elements between html tags (or disable italics, bold, etc.)? ...
I am new to emacs and wondering how I would get it to load a theme of my choosing (http://lambda.nirv.net/m/files/color-theme-chocolate-rain.el) I am on ubuntu, and have no idea what I am doing (yet :P) in regards to Emacs, for the most part. ...
notepad++ allow me to increase the font size when I hold the Ctrl Key and rotate the mouse middle scroll button to forward. In the same way, the when I hold Ctrl and rotate the mouse middle scroll button backward, the fond size reduces. How can I get the same with Emacs? ...
Hi SO, I have statements like this all over my code: LogWrite (String1, String2, L"=======format string======", ... ); I want to change each of these to: LogWrite (String1, String2, L"format string", ... ); I'm trying to write the regexp required to do...
I'm using Emacs 23.1 with ESS 5.4 to edit an Sweave file. I'd like to turn off the default AUCTeX indentation behavior in the buffer (to avoid annoyances with code chunks contained in itemized lists), so at the top of the file I have % -*- LaTeX-indent-level: 0; LaTeX-item-indent: 0; -*-. When I open the buffer and run C-h v LaTeX-inde...
Vim completes words and lines with CTRL-X P and CTRL-L. There's a Emacs plugin called Company mode but this plugin interfere and cause conflicts with lots of things within Emacs (with global linum and yasnippets). I know that I can complete words with CTRL-/ in Emacs. But it is possible to take previously written lines to complete code? ...
I am very familiar with emacs--and I realize that there is nothing that it cannot do--but there are some things that it does not do well or efficiently. So, being between projects I am open to the idea of switching to a full-featured IDE such as Eclipse. With muscle-memory being what it is, I would like to make Eclipse as emacs-like a...
I am getting weird character in emacs when I open certain code. It is like ^M. I think it's something related to character encoding, or maybe not. Can something help me out here. Thanks. ...

Is it possible to set hippie-expand to have a dropdown menu in Emacs? Or does Emacs have any completion/expansion system with dropdown menu? PS: Already tried Company and Auto Complete plugins but their interfere too much with others plugins. ...
I downloaded Auto-Complete from here: http://github.com/m2ym/auto-complete/downloads, I placed all the files from the .zip file in my load-path (C:\...Application Data\.emacs.d\plugins\auto-complete-1.0), and added the following to my .emacs: ;; load auto complete (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/plugins/auto-complete-1.0") (require ...
