emacs 23 and iPython

Is there anyone out there using iPython with emacs 23? The documents on the emacs wiki are a bit of a muddle and I would be interested in hearing from anyone using emacs for Python development. Do you use the download python-mode and ipython.el? What do you recommend? ...

Emacs navigation in new versions acts like notepad

This is a bit difficult to explain, so please bear with me. I am running emacs 23.0.60.2 (from CVS) in order to have truetype support. (in case anyone wonders why I'm running the bleeding edge). I'm experiencing some oddness in navigation within documents with this version that I want to have STOP. When a window is narrow enough that ...

Better control over emacs windows

I spend a lot of my time in emacs, and for the most part it's wonderful. But one thing really drives me nuts when I'm deep in it, and that's control over which window various new buffers are opened in. When I do find-file, it always opens in the current window, and this is what I like. But tons of other modes like to split my windows for...

Emacs unable to load its startup files

Hi, I upgraded emacs on a remote terminal to 23-snapshot. As I did not have root privileges there, I did 'make install' with 'prefix' set to a folder in my home directory. Now when I start emacs, it gives an error 'Cannot open load file: encoded-kb', it, also, is unable to run dired or load cc-mode. I tried starting it with '--no-site-f...

How can I get the compilation buffer on the bottom rather than on the right in Emacs 23?

I've installed Emacs 23 and have found that the compilation buffer (when using M-x compile) appears in a different position than it did in Emacs 22. The currently open buffer appears on the left and the compilation buffer on the right. How to I revert to the Emacs 22 behavior of having the current buffer open on the top and the compilati...

Extra newline in emacs' scheme-mode

I'm running ypsilon scheme using Emacs 23's scheme-mode. When I enter an expression in the interpreter, it adds an extra newline (see below). I've never seen this happen for any other interpreter. I know ypsilon isn't doing it, because it looks fine in shell-mode a shell (though shell-mode exhibits the same incorrect behavior). What func...

Emacs and ESS: Adding "Other" Processes

I have installed R-2.9.1 and I am using Emacs+ESS, but when I start an R process, the version of R is 2.6. I thought maybe Emacs was running R from a weird starting directory. However, if I select my home directory, for example, ESS still starts R 2.6. (Running R at the terminal correctly brings up version 2.9.1.) How do I add a new E...

How to gracefully shutdown emacs daemon?

On login to Ubuntu, I start an Emacs (version 23) daemon using Ubuntu's Startup programs. I then start Emacs clients whenever I need to edit something. When I logoff from Ubuntu, it says Emacs is still running, of course. I need to attach a script somewhere to tell Gnome to shutdown emacs when I logoff/shutdown. 1) What should the scri...

Emacs + Mac OSX and changing default font

how I can change default font to Monaco with antialiasing on Emacs 23. Where I can find dedicated binary for Emacs 23.1 for cocoa with antialised font settings? ...

Emacs 23 on OS X - use multiple instances or emacsclient?

Hi all, I wonder if anyone has any recommendations as to setup of emacs 23 on OS X. I have been using Linux/Windows for a while and there, I would just open many instances of emacs and they were self-contained - for instance, I could have two separate files in separate frames, each with their own R, Python, and/or shell running. I think ...

Emacs 23, emacsclient arguments?

Hi SO, I recently installed Emacs 23 (on OS X Leopard) and trying out the emacs server. I have tried both ways: (1) putting (server-start) in my .emacs file, and (2) running emacs --daemon at the terminal (in separate trials; not at the same time). In either case, when I have an emacs frame already open and try to open a separate file i...

Shift selection and page up/down in emacs 23

I’m trying to replace pc-selection-mode with the new shift-select-mode with emacs 23. It works generally well, only the shift+pgup/down keys don’t create a selected region and I can’t find a confguration setting where I could tell emacs I want these keys too shift translated. Are the supported keys hardcoded? It would be so unlike emacs,...

Emacs 23 on OS X - pseudo terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal

I installed Emacs 23 on OS X (the NS/Cocoa variant) and I got the following error when I tried to run ssh from a shell inside emacs. "pseudo terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal". Searching around the web tells me that it is because stdin is somehow a pipe instead of a real tty. I confirmed that by running st...

How can I open a file with a non-zip extension as a zip file in emacs?

I'd like to be able to open files with extensions other that .zip that have zip contents using Emacs' built-in zip file support. Is this possible? If so, how? ...

emacs - emacsclient or new frame?

Hi, this is a rather rudimentary question, but what is the practical difference between opening a new file in a separate frame (make-new-frame) from emacs or opening the file in an instance of emacsclient? I can see that if you are working through a terminal, the difference is clear... but can emacsclient additionally restrict the list o...

Emacs 23 uses character set four times larger than Unicode - why?

From Emacs 23.1 NEWS: *** The Emacs character set is now a superset of Unicode. (It has about four times the code space, which should be plenty). And more details later on: *** In multibyte buffers and strings, characters are represented by UTF-8 byte sequences. The character code space is now 0x0..0x3FFFFF with no g...

Recommended git mode for emacs.

As a recent convert to git and a long-time Emacs hacker I'm wondering what other serious Emacs/Git hackers recommend for git support in Emacs23. I've already started using the VC git backend and find it somewhat of a thin abstraction layer of git's capabilities. So I'm inclined to try another. Googling turns up a half dozen or so choi...

Emacs 23 + Erlang + Distel

Where I can find current example of configuration and using Distel with Emacs 23 (on Mac Snow Leaoprd). I have problem with debugging (interpret mode), I cant mark brakepoint. If anyone have working configuration of distel on emacs 23, please share with me. ...

Changing Emacs Forward-Word Behaviour

As the title says, how does one change the behaviour of emacs forward-word function? For example, suppose [] is the cursor. Then: my $abs_target_path[]= abs_path($target); <M-f> my $abs_target_path = abs[_]path($target); I know I could just use M-f M-b but as far as I'm concerned, that shouldn't be necessary and I'd like to change i...

How can I get more colors in emacs vc-diff?

I would like to have vc-diff colorize the output so that added lines are in one color and deleted ones in another. Using Emacs 23.1 and putty/xterm-256color (list-colors-display shows 256 colors and color themes and such works as expected). This is how it looks right now: ...
