Hi, with (x)emacs, how could I run the 'compile' command without separately pressing enter to accept the default command? (I can bind the 'compile' to a key but I'd like the whole thing to happen without separate pressing of enter) Of course, similar behaviour with some else command would also be ok. ...
I am using xemacs for editing. xemacs shows buffer tabs on the top of the editing window. However, my buffer tabs have this strange behavior. When I switch to cpp file, the buffer tabs show only cpp buffers open. When I shift to a h file (using C-x b), only h files are shown. How can I make xemacs show all open buffers in buffer tabs a...

Is there an Emacs major mode for MATLAB and / or Octave files? For those who don't know, MATLAB files generally have a ".m" file extension. My primary interest is GNU Emacs but XEmacs tips would also be appreciated. ...
I'm a GNU Emacs user who uses nxml-mode for editing XML files, but I have a colleague who would like to use XEmacs for editing XML files. It seems as though my colleague can't use nxml-mode because the README file for that package says: To use this, you need GNU Emacs version 21.x, preferably 21.3. GNU Emacs version 20 will not wor...
I want to set up the indentation for if-else statements to be 4 spaces. I have defined in my xemacs setup file (add-hook 'c-mode-hook (function (lambda() (setq c-if-indent 4) ))) And I also have (setq-default tab-width 4) (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil) After setting the above parameters, My tabs are being converte...
There's a lot of Text editors which support autocomplete during programming, but I want one which can autocomplete while typing normal text as I see a lot of repetition of words I type. Any emacs fans who have implemented this ? ...
Is Xemacs available with Windows Style Key Bindings ? Emacs has these Windows key bindings The keybindings of Emacs predate modern GUIs, and the keys that were chosen by later GUIs for cut and copy were given important functions as extended keymaps in Emacs. CUA mode attempts to let both bindings co-exist by defining C-...
I installed xemacs using macports, and then when I try to open it I see this - $xemacs Error: Shell widget xemacs has zero width and/or height I tried to google for this error message, but there were no helpful hits. How can I get xemacs to start without this error? Thanks ...
Is there a built-in or 3rd party elisp command to move to the matching brace in cc-mode? I currently use (paren-set-mode 'paren t) to have XEmacs highlight the matching brace or paren, but when the brace is off the screen in a piece of code with nested if blocks, it would be very useful to have a command to jump to the matching brace. ...
I'd like to change the window/frame size of my XEmacs based on the current display resolution. This is useful when I run my laptop either by itself or attached to a docking station with an external monitor. In either situation, I'd like Emacs to detect the primary screen resolution and adjust its main window frame size accordingly when ...
I've started using MMM-mode in XEmacs for working with php/html blended pages. Normally, this works just fine, but I opened a file just now that was around 500 lines entirely enclosed in <?php ?> tags, and every single time I type a key inside, the entire thing refontifies. Before I started using mmm-mode, font locking happened on a pe...
I'm trying to get an updated version for Windows vista. I previously got 21.4.22 but it's been a year since that release. The linux versions should be 22.x. I'm wondering if anyone else builds stable binaries for Windows ? 21.4.22 has several bugs and I cannot figure out how to fix them. I know Xemacs is not as active as GNU emacs but s...
Hi, I want to use (X)Emacs on my Gentoo system and wonder about the "correct" (or easiest) way to setup it to be used for Python development (i.e. intelligent auto-completion via tab and all those usual stuff). I want to avoid installing anything by hand - I want to use my Portage/emerge as far as possible. I have installed xemacs, py...
When I run Gnu Emacs under cygwin on Windows and I press "ctrl-x ctrl-c" to exit I get the message: ctrl-x ctrl-g is undefined : However, when I run Xemacs the "ctrl-x ctrl-c" works fine ...

Is there a way to diff two arbitrary revisions in psvn? I'd like to have possibility to get diff/ediff for a file in the svn-status window. I only found svn-file-show-svn-diff which shows diff between a working copy and HEAD ...
I've previously used sql-oracle just fine in Xemacs on XP and vista. However, now I'm using Postgresql psql on the command line but I kinda find it lame (as compared to using sql-* from within emacs) So, I'm trying to get it(psql) working within xemacs(21.4.22) on windows. When I type M-x sql-postgres ENTER, I get the following 3 pro...
For some reason, "C-z" is mapped to suspend-or-iconify-emacs and I can't seem to get it to rebind to something less annoying. (I like using ctrl-z for undo, but doing nothing would at least be better than suspending every time I accidentally hit the key) I've tried doing it interactively: M-x global-set-key, then Set key C-z to comman...
