I've tried using the following: (setq-default tab-width 4) (setq-default tab-stop-list (list 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 60)) But the size of tabs when editing .py files is still 8 chars wide. In other files it has gone down to 4, so I assume the Python major mode is overriding this somehow. I see that I can set python-ind...
I learned that copy something to kill buffer, I can use the kill-new buffer (kill-new (file-truename buffer-file-name)) How about copying the content to clipboard? Does emacs/elisp provide the function? ADDED I got 2 answers, but the answer seems to apply X windows system. As I use Aquamacs, it may not be a universal solution that c...

I have setup emacs -daemon to run on login to Gnome and associated emacsclient with .cpp and .py files that I work with in Eclipse in order that emacs is used as my default editor for these files when selected within Eclipse. This way I can get a good work flow combining the editing capabilities of emacs and the project/build management...
Hello: In emacs, I want a function name get highlighted when it is called, not only defined or declared. I try to do this with a 'color-theme' theme file. But the theme file does not seem to have a variable to work this out, it has a variable 'font-lock-function-name-face', but this one only works for function declaration. Is there so...
When I hit C-k, Emacs kills to end-of-line. When I hit C-k again, it "kills the newline" and brings the next line up. However, the next line's indentation remains intact, and you can end up with a line that has lots of spaces in the middle. So, from this: previous line material next line material to this: previous line m...

I use TextMate to debug python script, as I like the feature of using 'Command-R' for running python from TextMate, and I learned that emacs provide similar feature. I need to know if the python is run from command line or from TextMate/emacs. How can I do that? ADDED I use TextMate for python coding/debugging, and it's pretty usefu...
I'd like to execute some code in my init file only if emacs server is running (specifically if emacs is started with the --daemon flag). There doesn't seem to be any hook that runs when server-start is called and there's no variable I can look at to see if the server is running. A hack is to use (featurep 'server), since the server fea...

I would like to see if I could add customization in emacs to remove trailing white spaces and untabify the lines which i'm editing.

Hi, I use my command keys as extra control keys on Mac OS X (and I believe the space cadet keyboards had this configuration). I want to emulate this on my Windows machines by switching Alt to Ctrl and the Windows key to Alt within Emacs. Is this possible? I found this post which suggests something like (setq w32-pass-lwindow-to-system n...
Anyone else have any trouble with j and k in viper-mode when visual-line-mode is enabled? It skips many lines... is there any harm in re-binding them to next-line and previous-line, which recognizes visual "line breaks" in Emacs > version 23? ...
Had this working well in Emacs 23.1.x but it appears to have broke in the move to Emacs 23.2 I want to use ediff when comparing working copy of a file with SVN HEAD. Normally I press C-x v = and ediff runs because of the following configuration in my .emacs ;; Use ediff and not diff (setq diff-command "ediff") But, alas I still g...
