Hi, I'm using EmacsW32 (patched) on windows. Emacs is running in server mode so that subsequent calls to emacsclientw open files in the same server session. I have C-x C-c mapped to make the current frame invisible and not kill the emacs server process. I'd like clicking the window's X (close) button to also just hide the frame & not...
I've been using emacs for few weeks and it's been great so far - coming from vim was easier than I expected (actually - emacs' keyboard shortcuts feel more... natural). I have added few customizations like moving between buffers using M-Left/Right/Up/Down because C-x o felt a little bit too slow when I had four files opened at once. S...
Hi, I have an alias in bash that runs emacsclient if emacs daemon is already running and start emacs otherwise. However, in the event that a fresh instance of emacs is fired up, can I make it run in the background so I can still use that terminal (or close it)? In my bash profile, I have alias ec="/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -n ...
I would like to have Emacs ask me whether I want to save a modified buffer, when that buffer is not associated with a file. To open a new buffer (not visiting a file) I have the following function in my .emacs file: ;; Creates a new empty buffer (defun new-empty-buffer () "Opens a new empty buffer." (interactive) (let ((buf (gene...
Hello, when I get a compiler error (in my case gcc) in Emacs (version 23 for information) I use next-error Lisp function to jump to the next error :) But when I do this the window is split vertically, but I want this to be done horizontally. Anyone know how to modify this behavior? Thanks ...
Is there a good php syntax highlighter for Emacs? I'm using Emacs 23. I've tried php-mode, but that doesn't do anything. I've tried nXhtml, but that ignores my color theme and reverts to some awful looking default. Is there one I've missed or perhaps a configuration setting I've ignored? ...
Is anyone using bm.el to traverse through bookmarks in multiple buffers ? If so did you notice that bm-next is broken ? I see several people using it but no one seems to have noticed this. The buggy version got into emacs-goodies as well. How do I go about debugging this ? ...
I'm trying to move all my compilation config (compilation-command and compilation-directory to be exact) to .dir-locals.el file at the top of my project. It is working fine except that I can't find the way to use expand-file-name there and without it I have to use absolute path, which is not really convenient. So, is there a way (or a d...
Why this works ((nil . ((compilation-directory . "/home/vava/code_directory/") (compilation-command . "rake")) )) and this doesn't? ((nil . ((Eval . (setq compilation-directory "/home/vava/code_directory")) (compilation-command . "rake")) )) What I'm doing wrong here? I have set enable-local-eval in .emacs. ...
I just downloaded the Haskell and J modes off of SourceForge, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to make them interface with emacs 23. Google searches yield detailed instructions for emacs 22, but it looks like changes have been made that make it hard to figure out where I'm supposed to stick the source files. The internal documenta...
I'm having trouble getting antialiased fonts to work correctly in emacs 23.2, to the extent that it appears that it doesn't actually support antialised fonts. If I do the following in emacs 23.1: (set-face-font 'default "DejaVu Sans Mono-9.0:antialias=subpixel") (describe-font nil) Then this reports the full name as "DejaVu Sans Mono...
Since I've upgraded to Ubuntu lucid and emacs23, Emacs pops up the debugger in situations, where emacs22 does not. For example, when hitting C-c C-c in org-mode, emacs22 simply states can do nothing useful at this location, whereas in emacs23 the debugger shows up. Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "C-c C-c can do nothing useful at...
I've had geben running perfectly on previous versions of Ubuntu. After the upgrade, and installing the latest version of geben (0.26), it only half works. Specifically, when in context mode, local variables are always marked as undefined. Has anybody successfully gotten geben up and running under Ubuntu 10.04, or is this a bug in geben ...
I have some processes that run from functions, i.e.: M-x run-proc1 M-x run-proc2 I would like to know what command to issue from the command line to run emacs with run-proc1 running in the upper window and run-proc2 running in the lower window. Thanks! ...
Hey there, I am using emacs 23.2 with the GTK toolkit. I built emacs from source using the following configure-params: ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-makeinfo --without-sound Which builds emacs with the following configuration: Where should the build process find the source code? /home/****/incoming/emacs-23.2 What oper...
I use xterm and set its appearance in ~/.Xdefaults: XTerm*background: paleTurquoise XTerm*foreground: black I also use emacs, but set its appearance differently in ~/.emacs: (set-background-color "black") (set-foreground-color "yellow") I usually run emacs within the terminal emulator with emacs -nw, rather than creatin...
I created my own color theme using this website. I've added a new .el file to my ./site-lisp/color-theme/themes directory with the following code: (defun your-config-name-here () (interactive) (color-theme-install '(your-config-name-here ((background-color . "#ffffff") (background-mode . light) (border-color . "...
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...
I'm trying to learn org-mode and noticed my files are folded neatly when I exit emacs. When pressing S-TAB in an attempt to unfold the entire file, I get the following error message in the mini-buffer: M-[ z is undefined. Googling the error wasn't helpful. Any idea where the hiccup is occurring and how I might fix it? I'm using Mac OS X...
In org-mode, pressing M-S-RET (meta-shift-return) will create a new TODO on a new line. This key sequence sends M-RET to emacs through my terminal. I've checked this with C-h c ESC-S-RET, which returns M-RET is undefined in the mini-buffer. I'm using Snow Leopard with Emacs 23.2.1 running in Terminal.app. There is no option to define a ...
