Modifying Colors in rst.el
In Emacs, I'm using a color scheme with a dark background and light text. When working with .rst files, I have a mode for that which uses rst.el. However, rst.el highlights headings with a light background color, which makes reading light text on it impossible! I think that this is the section of code in rst.el that is responsible for t...

When I use find-tags, I get the following error: File: /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Contents/Resources/lisp/simple.el not found simple.el.gz exists and I built TAGS using (find . -name *.el && find . -name *.el.gz) | etags - I'm using the following version of emacs on snow leopard: "GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.7.0, NS...

Haskell autocompletion in GNU/Emacs
Hello, I installed haskel-mode in emacs. Then I write in my .emacs: (load "~/.emacs.d/haskell-mode/haskell-site-file") (add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'turn-on-haskell-doc-mode) (add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'turn-on-haskell-indentation) (add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'haskell-font-lock-symbols t) (put 'downcase-region 'disabled nil) What ...
Makefile on terminal
Hi, I have seen a "basic Makefile tutorial" today, but I still don't understand a few things: What does the '&' character do in the line: "emacs Makefile &" ? After I have opened the emacs editor and created the Makefile file, how do I use it in order to compile my "source_code.c" file?? Thanks in advance, Sagiftw ...
continuously execute an emacs lisp function
Is there a way to trigger the execution of an emacs lisp function other than M-x myfun? I would like to have the function re-called every time the buffer is changed. Background: I have a table of numbers with some mistakes. The table has column totals and other features which can be used to identify the mistakes. My elisp function highl...
elisp vectors and characters/integers
I have a question about elisp vectors. Are integers and characters actually stored (efficiently) inside the vector or via a reference (pointer)? Vectors can hold arbitrary objects; For example: (setq v (make-vector 10 nil)) (aset v 0 "Hello World") In this case it's obvious that the vector cell 0 keeps a reference (pointer) to the st...
Emacs should set the second character of a word in lower case
In most cases I'm writing german texts. Most words start with an uppercase letter followed by lower case letters. Sometimes I'm typing too fast and also the second letter of a word is typed upper case. To work around this issue I asked myself if it is poosible to write a function which automatically changes the case of the second letter....
is there an emacs tool to show a directory structure as a tree?
I am aware of Speedbar (I prefer the structure in the same frame as the rest of my work), and dired shows too much information. I'm after something like the svn-status tree representation. Is there anything like that? Thank you. EDIT: Here's what I found the most intuitive: I am using Speedbar with the following hack from here. I had t...
Disable automatic carriage return in emacs HTML mode
I'm using emacs in HTML mode. When I type about 70 columns of text, it automatically performs a carriage return, breaking up the text over two lines. Is there a way to disable and/or modify this? ...
Run Emacs batch scripts on OSX
Hey, I'm a long time GNU/Linux user. Even though OSX is much like GNU/Linux is many ways, it differs in some. For example, when I install Firefox I expect to be able to run firefox in a shell to start it. But not in OSX. That gives me some trouble when running Emacs batch scripts. Lets say I have this script: #!/usr/bin/env emacs --s...
Setting up Emacs for programming Erlang
Emacs is the IDE of choice for programming Erlang. There are plenty of good modes (distel, erlware-mode, the default erlang mode,...), but what are your recommendations for setting up Emacs for professional Erlang development? ...
Copying (yanking) only visible text in emacs outline-mode
Sometimes I'd like to copy only the visible text from an outline-mode buffer in emacs, ignoring hidden leaves, etc. I don't see any way to do this. When I use M-w and then paste somewhere else, I get all the text, including the hidden parts. Does anyone know how to do this? The manual and google aren't helping. Thanks, Tom ...
Configuring CEDET for GNU Emacs 23.2.1
I recently built and installed Emacs 23.2.1 for OS X 10.6, which apparently comes with CEDET 1.0pre7 pre-installed, but my old CEDET configuration fails (for instance (semantic-load-excessive-code-helpers) or even (semantic-load-code-helpers) are undefined) even after adding the following to my .emacs: (require 'cedet) (semantic-mode 1)...

Which Emacs... for Mac OS X?... for Windows?... for Linux?
I've started programming Erlang code that's going into production (gulp!), but I'm still using TextMate in Mac OS X, Notepad++ in Windows 7, and GEdit in Ubuntu 10.04... (I use all three at work and at home). Emacs is the IDE of choice for programming Erlang, and I'd like to use the same editor on all three platforms. I have an idea of...
emacs23 buffer menu font (GTK)
I've recently upgraded to emacs23 (Ubuntu 10.04) and I've managed to get my faces (fonts) all sorted out with relevant .emacs options. However the one font I can't seem to change is the one used to display the Buffer Menu (i.e. when you CTRL+left-click on a buffer, you get a pop-up menu that lists all open buffers). The problem is that...
