Command key to Meta in Emacs
I'm using a Mac keyboard on Ubuntu at work. What do I add to my .emacs file to turn the command key to Meta? I tried (setq mac-command-key-is-meta t) and (setq mac-command-key 'meta) and neither works. ...

Is there an intelligent PHP Emacs tagging solution?
I want to navigate to a member declaration under the point. Creating a tag file using etags *.php and then navigating with find-tag is limited in that it doesn't seem to have any sense of the calling class. So you have to cycle if two classes have methods with the same name. Semantic's semantic-ia-fast-jump function, another potential o...
Simple Emacs keybindings
I have two operations that I do all the time in Emacs: Create a new buffer and paste the clipboard. [C-S-n] Close the current buffer. [C-S-w] Switch to the last viewed buffer [C-TAB] I feel like a keyboard acrobat when doing the first two operations. I think it would be worth trying some custom keybindings and macros. A few questio...
How to indent a buffer in ESS?
ESS allows us to indent a line and an expression. Is there a key binding for indenting a buffer? If not, can we create it? ...
arduino emacs development
hi. I would like to use emacs as a development environment for arduino programming. If you use emacs to program arduino, can you share some tips or links which you find useful. Is there official (or de facto) emacs mode? Also, am I going to miss something which is in arduino IDE if I use emacs exclusively? thank you . ...
Matlab editor not using emacs shortcuts
Hi Is there some way I can make the matlab integrated editor not use emacs shortcut, but use more normal shortcuts such that I can press CTRL-c and CTRL-v and not be completely confused by the editor doing weird stuff? I'm using matlab on linux btw. ...
How to set a key binding to make Emacs as transparent/opaque as I want?
I want to have a command in Emacs to make it as opaque/transparent as I want (refer to the fabulous question that pointed out that transparency is possible in Emacs, and the EmacsWiki page linked there which has the code I am using below). The EmacsWiki code sets "C-c t" to toggle the previously set transparency on and off: ;;(set-fram...
Emacs hide/show support for C++ triple-slash Doxygen markup?
I use Doxygen's triple-slash syntax to markup my C++ code. There are two important cases which arise: 1) block markup comments which are the sole element on the line and may or may not begin flush left; e.g. class foo /// A one sentence brief description of foo. The elaboration can /// continue on for many lines. { ... }; voi...
[emacs] make ibuffer-visit-buffer behave like ido-switch-to-buffer?
Is there a way to make ibuffer-visit-buffer behave like ido-switch-to-buffer (with raise-frame option)? If there is a window/frame containing the buffer I'd like emacs to take me there rather than opening the same buffer in the current window. I guess switch-to-buffer is remapped to ido-switch-to-buffer when ido-mode is turned on, so wou...
Emacs: mitigating dependancy on the mouse
In Emacs, how does one emulate mouse button presses and the like using a keyboard? For example, with CEDET's Semantic (included with GNU Emacs 23.2.1), includes can be right clicked to provide a menu; how can I make that menu, and others, with the keyboard, appear as a tooltip or in the minibuffer a la M-` that allows one to access the m...
ESS/AucTeX/Sweave integration
I'm using GNU/Linux distro (Arch, if that's relevant), Emacs v23.2.1, ESS v5.9 and AucTeX v11.86. I want to setup AucTeX to recognize .Rnw files, so I can run LaTeX on .Rnw files with C-c C-c and get .dvi file automatically. I reckon it's quite manageable by editing .emacs file, but I still haven't got a firm grasp on Elisp. Yet anoth...
emacs delete directory recursively?
I was searching through for a way to copy/delete directory trees... dired seems to have dired-copy-file-recursive (though sans documentation) and a search on 'recursive' also returns: tramp-handle-dired-recursive-delete-directory is a compiled Lisp function in `tramp.el'. (tramp-handle-dired-recursive-delete-directory FILENAME) Recur...
Emacs: Auto Complete for C++
Hello, i found this autocompletion for Emacs: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete, but I can't find what languages it supports. I want to use it particular for C++-autocompletion. Has anybody experience with this? ...
emacs: is there a way to specify a case-insensitive search in a regexp?
In Javascript, I just need to append a i to the regexp to make it case-insensitive. In .NET, I use a RegexOptions.IgnoreCase. I know about case-fold-search. What I want is to specify that behavior in the regex itself, as specified in an elisp program. Possible? ...
Is it possible to get Semantic (emacs) to visit all files automatically?
From what I can tell from the docs, semantic works by slowly building up an idea of what's in your project by analysing each file (and possibly its neighbours) as you visit them. This is too slow. I'd like to just have it visit all the files in my project. Is there an easy way to do this? Having to visit hundreds of files before I can ge...
How can you make an emacs macro wait for cscope query results?
I am trying to write a macro which calls cscope-find-functions-calling-this-function on each and every tag in a file displayed in the *Tags List* buffer (created by list-tags command). This should create a buffer which contains list of all functions calling a set of functions defined in a certain file. I just position the point at the s...
Clojure evaluation without SLIME
Hi, I'm a starter with Emacs (but quite experienced Vim user) and trying to play with Emacs+Clojure combination. Maybe my setup will be unusual for Emacs world, as I'm not using SLIME/swank-clojure, but Emacs + eshell with running clojure REPL in it, mostly due simplicity (or probably because SLIME quite scares me off :D). So, maybe th...
GNU Emacs23: cedet troubles
Hi, Since I switched to CEDET as shipped with recent emacs release (23.2), CEDET does not work reliably anymore. For example I am no longer able to regenerate an EDE project. After looking aroud, it seems that all CEDET templates are missing from the tarball. Does anyone know how I can workaround this ? Regards ...
Is there a way to make changes to toggles in my .emacs file apply without re-starting Emacs?
I want to be able to make the changes to my .emacs file without having to reload Emacs. I found three questions which sort of answer what I am asking (you can find them here, here and here), but the problem is that the change I have just made is to a toggle, and as the comments to two of the answers (a1, a2) to those questions explain, ...
Wrapping selecting text in enclosing characters in Emacs
In Textmate I can wrap enclosing characters ('(', '[', '"', etc.) around text by selecting it and hitting the opening character. For example, if I select word and hit (, it will become (word). What does Emacs call this feature and how do I enable it? ...
