I relise that I have to add something like: shell : to my .emacs file. But then how can I get it to do shell commands like: cd /mydirectory : and other shell actions ...
I am using emacs on MacOS 10.6 with Terminal. I have a white background. It's very hard to read quoted C++ strings. They are coming up in pale green. Keywords are in turquoise. After searching through the source I cam across cpp.el and have determined that I am using the cpp-face-light-name-list instead of cpp-face-dark-name-list. Ap...
Is it possible to detect when a long running process started with shell-command crashes, so it can automatically be restarted? Without manually checking its buffer and restarting by hand. ...
I am using emacs from the shell (not aquamacs) on a mac laptop, however whenever I try to scroll up and down it doesn't scroll the file. Is there any way to do this? ...
hi. Hopefully simple question: I have multiply nested namespace: namespace first {namespace second {namespace third { // emacs indents three times // I want to intend here } } } so emacs indents to the third position. However I just want a single indentation. Is it possible to accomplish this effect simply? Thanks...
I'm not sure I am using ad-get-args and ad-get-arg right. For example, the following code doesn't work. (defun my-add (a b) (+ a b)) (defadvice my-add (after my-log-on activate) (message "my-add: %s" (ad-get-args))) (my-add 1 2) The last expression causes an error: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function ad-get-args).

I thought I knew how to set coding-system (or encoding): use process-coding-system-alist. Apparently, it's not working. ;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*- (require 'cl) (let ((process-coding-system-alist '(("cygwin/bin/bash" . (utf-8-dos . utf-8-unix))))) (setq my-words (list "Lilo" "ಠ_ಠ" "_ಠ" "ಠ_" "ಠ" "Stitch") my-cygwin-bash "C:/cygwin/b...
When I start working on a project in emacs, I use M-x cd to get into the project root directory. But every time I use C-x C-f to open a file in one of the subdirectories (like app/model/Store.rb) emacs changes current directory to that of the file. Is there a way to make emacs stay at the root? ...
When I use VIM or most modeless editors (Eclipse, NetBeans etc.) I frequently do the following. If I have similar text blocks and I need to change them all, I will change one, copy it (or use non-deleting yank), select next block I need and paste the changed version over it. If I do the same thing in emacs (select region and paste with C...
What I would like if for C-c C-c to run py.test and display the output in the other buffer if the name of the file being edited begins with test_ and to normally run py-execute-buffer otherwise. How would I do this? I am using emacs 23.1.1 with python-mode and can access py.test from the command line. ...
I'd like to be able to switch temporarily from emacs mode to vi mode, since vi mode is sometimes better, but I'm usually half-way through typing something before I realize I want I don't want to switch permanently to vi mode, because I normally prefer emacs mode on the command line, mostly because it's what I'm used to, and over the yea...
Is there a way to do a inverse search? I have very big log file where a particular pattern fills up for few dozen pages 20100414 alpha beta 20100414 alpha beta <few dozen pages> 20100414 alpha beta 20100414 gamma delta 20100414 gamma delta <few dozen pages> 20100414 gamma delta Problem is, I don't know what text would be after "alpha ...
Hello, I have switched to using emacs-ess for my R code development and it is working great. I would like to be able to write some small R code I am using for debugging my R script into the scratch buffer, and be able to execute the scratch buffer code in the R process buffer. I've found how I could change the scratch buffer's mode to te...
running emacs 22... on ubuntu 9.04, fresh install. When I copy a region of text via C-w (clipboard-kill-ring-save) then yank it back with C-y (clipboard-yank) it pastes random stuff, from some other buffer that isn't even open. It was working fine earlier today and I haven't changed my emacs config. Any ideas why this is suddenly happ...
Is there a way to search all the open buffers for a particular pattern? C-s interactively searches current buffer. Similarly, is there something that searches all the open buffers? I know I can use "occur", but "Occur" brings a new buffer and changes/messes with the buffer organization. ...
Is there an Emacs minor-mode (or piece of elisp code) that lets you selectively hide/show environments while in LaTeX mode? For instance, I would like to move to the beginning of a long \begin{figure} block, hit a keystroke, and have the contents of that figure environment hidden from view. Similarly with \begin{proof} and so on, and ide...
When I indent if-then-else construct in emacs lisp, the else block doesn't indent properly. What I get is: (defun swank-clojure-decygwinify (path) "Convert path from CYGWIN UNIX style to Windows style" (if (swank-clojure-cygwin) (replace-regexp-in-string "\n" "" (shell-command-to-string (concat "cygpath -w " path))) (path...
Hello: Is there a way Emacs can automatically refresh the buffer showing the dvi right after my LaTeX compilation? Thank you. ...
I want to use intelligent tabbing in Emacs in C++ mode, but I also want to be able to insert a tab character when necessary. From other posts, I gather that the easiest way is to bind <Ctrl>-<Tab> to indent. However, it appears that Konsole in KUbuntu won't forward the <Ctrl>? My current .emacs file contains: (defun my-c-mode-common-...
