I'm giving ErgoEmacs mode a try to see if I can use Emacs more comfortably. Some of its keybindings are fairly intuitive, but in many cases I don't want to outright replace the defaults. For example, in the context of ErgoEmacs' navigation shortcut structure, M-h makes sense as a replacement for C-a--but I want to be able to use both, n...

Question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1082474/authoring-html5-in-emacs talks about nxml-mode but, from what I read, that can only be used for XHTML5, I want to use emacs with HTML5 (no XML syntax). Is there any mode with auto-indentation, tag/attribute completion, etc.? ...
Hi: I am running Emacs 23.1.1 and AucTeX 11.85 in an Ubuntu 8.10 machine. After opening a tex file, the first time I try to use the autocompletion of the \cite{} command, I get "cite: info not available, use `C-c &' to get it." in the minibuffer. After doing the 'C-c &', I get "byte-code: No BibTeX entry with citation key". Subseque...
I want to execute an SQL query and get its result in elisp: (let ((results (do-sql-query "SELECT * FROM a_table"))) (do-something-with results)) I'm using Postgres, and I already know all of my connection information (host, username, password, db et al) I just want to execute the query and get the result back, synchronously. ...
Hello, I'm trying to connect via SSH to a remote shell, using Emacs on Windows XP. I'm currently using Putty, but I'd like to switch to Emacs. I can't find a way which works right. The best I've achieved is running Plink (command line version of Putty) as a subshell, but I'm still getting spurious characters and duplicated prompts like...
Hi all, I'm a bit new to using emacs for webdevelopment. I am using php-mode and i am happy with it. There is only one issue i have which causes me a lot of problems because of our company's coding style. When i have a function, e.g.: $instance = new Model('foo', 'bar'); And I want to indent it like this: $instance = new Model( ...
When working in Emacs, I use the compile command (F12 by default) to run programs. When I run Cucumber in Emacs, Cucumber spits out ANSI colors that the Emacs compilation mode doesn't interpret. The result is ugly and hard to read. Here's a snippet of the *compilation* buffer showing the ugly: ^[[31m(::) failed steps (::)^[[0m The ...
I am finding myself editing a lot of files that are read-only. I usually hit C-x C-q to call toggle-read-only. Then I hit C-x C-s to save and get, File foo.txt is write-protected; try to save anyway? (y or n) After hitting y, the file is saved and the permissions on the file remain read-only. Is there a way to shorten this process ...
I was trying to answer another SO question when I hit upon some very odd behavior. Here's my little test case: (make-variable-buffer-local (defvar my-override-mode-on-save nil "Can be set to automatically ignore read-only mode of a file when saving.")) (defadvice file-writable-p (around my-overide-file-writeable-p act) "override...
Hi, I'm using Emacs with CEDET and auto complete for code completion. Originally I set up CEDET so it loads at Emacs start up every time. However, this took quite a long time, so i thought it would be clever to load it just if needed, i.e. - in my case - when entering C++-Mode. So I moved the original function into a lambda that is ...
Java-mode seems to be unindenting rather than indenting after a method declaration. By which I mean I'd expect to see this: class GoodExample { public void method() { allNicelyIndented(); noProblemsHere(); } } But instead get this: class CrazyIndenting { public void method() { // ((inclass 134) (topmost-...
I've been trying to get subprojects in EDE to work, but I don't understand much and I can't find any good documentation. What would the project configurations have to look like for the following tree: Test Project.el bin test src Project.el main.cpp class.cpp inc Project.el class.h ...

Is there any way in Visual Studio 2008 to smoothly switch between using Emacs keybindings and the default ones? I will soon be doing some pair programming and I need my Emacs keybindings to keep myself from going insane. ...
How do you move the point in Elisp to the beginning of <enter description here> and kill that text.

I have been using emacs for a while for mainly python programming, and have started C++ coding with it. When I open a c++ file, it opens without problems with c++-mode. The background and foreground colors are normal for the theme I have with color-theme, but keywords and strings are not colored differently. Below is the code in my .emac...
I use emacs to edit a number of file types, and would like an easy visual queue to tell .c files from .vhd or .py files, for instance. How can I add a custom background color to the major mode for that language? ...
I am just starting out in in Emacs. Sometimes I'll be experimenting with something and when I'm finished experimenting, I want to just go back to the buffer I was editing, but I don't know how. Worse, sometimes I hit a key by accident and don't even know what I hit! In Vim I can just hit ESC to recover; is there any similar way to rec...
