I have a bad habit of using the cursor keys of my keyboard to navigate source code. It's something I've done for 15 years and . This of course means that my navigating speed is limited by the speed of the keyboard. On both Vista and OS X (I dual boot a MacBook), I hate my key repeat rate turned all the way up. But in Visual Studio, and ...
I have a Windows shell script that opens an application. I'd like to modify it to make it open a file automatically upon opening the application.

I find myself needing to store public key certificates, and a single private key certificate for an in-house application. A member of our team suggested storing the X509 certificates in the database, instead of storing it in the windows certificate store, as we have been doing up until now.

Something that I could use within find-file is the main thing that i'm looking for, so for example: C-f <so...

Perl has several built-in functions for accessing /etc/passwd on Unix systems (and elsewhere when supported) for user and group information. For instance, my $name = getpwuid($uid); will return the user name given the user ID, or undef if there is no such user. If a Perl script needs to be portable and run on Unices and Windows, how ...

I am learning and using Emacs. What I found annoying is that Ctrl-Space input will be stolen by Windows XP to switch the language bar instead of setting the mark in Emacs.
