I have Aquamacs running on my Mac. I installed the ESK for Aquamacs and it installs ELPA at ~/.emacs.d/elpa. With ELPA, I installed clojure-mode/clojure-est-mode/slime/slime-repl/swank-clojure. The thing is that when I run 'M-x slime', clojure is run. Why is this? I'm curious as I don't have any setup for slime in my .emacs and even i...
I use Aquamacs, and I use ELPA that installs files in ~/.emacs.d/elpa? What's the magic behind this ELPA? I mean, without ELPA, I should download and install the packages in a specific directory, and add those two lines in .emacs. (add-to-list 'load-path "PACKAGE_DIRECTORY") (require 'PACKAGE) But, with ELPA, I don't see anythin...
My superficial understanding is that 'swank-clojure' makes 'M-x slime-connect' possible. I mean, it gives a connection to a clojure server something like 'lein swank'. Is my understanding correct? If not, what's the purpose of swank? Then, is there any 'swank-SOMETHING_ELSE' for other lisp like implementations? For example, swank-clisp?...

I use Alt-! (Alt-Bang) a lot in Emacs. One of the big things I use it for is Alt-! cat $logfile | grep 'this' # show me one kind of event or sometimes Alt-! cat $logfile | grep 'this' | wc -l # count that one event's occurrences Two things: 1) No tab-completion from this prompt: why not? 2) What if instead of $logfile, I want to ...

I'm looking to setup emacs to allow me to use perforce without having to use p4v. I've had a look at the emacs wiki and a search on the site but there only seems to be two options out there - both of which are pretty old. First option is p4.el which was last updated in 2004. The second option is the integration with emacs VC component,...

Coming from Perl I've been used to hitting C-c t to reformat my code according to pre-defined Perl::Tidy rules. Now, with Python I'm astonished to learn that there is nothing that even remotely resembles the power of Perl::Tidy. PythonTidy 1.20 looks almost appropriate, but barfed at first mis-aligned line ("unexpected indent"). In part...
I find that there are two ways to set key in emacs: golbal-set-key and define-key. Are they the same? Or is there any pros/cons between the two approaches? (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-f") 'my-find-file) (define-key global-map "\C-ck" 'hello) ...
