I thought I knew how to set coding-system (or encoding): use process-coding-system-alist. Apparently, it's not working.
;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
(require 'cl)
(let
((process-coding-system-alist '("cygwin/bin/bash" . (utf-8-dos . utf-8-unix))))
(setq my-words (list "Lilo" "?_?" "_?" "?_" "?"…

I'm making some tedious calls to a bunch of functions, but the parameters will be determined at runtime. I wrote a simple function to keep my code DRY but giving it a name is unnecessary. I don't use this function anywhere else.
I'm trying to do it the way I would in Scheme, but I get a void-function…

I would like to temporarily override the kill-new function. I have a way I want to reimplement kill-new that works in only in certain contexts, but I don't want to reimplement a special version of kill-region on top of that. (kill-new is called from kill-region)
Since Emacs Lisp uses dynamic scoping…

I'd like to recenter a buffer, called "Lense", where I've inserted some text. I wished to make it the current buffer by "(set-buffer "Lense")", then "(recenter 0))". By the following code segments:
(save-excursion (set-buffer "Lense")
(recenter 0))
However, it seems that the above…

I am starting with emacs, and don't know much elisp. Nearly nothing, really.
I want to use ack as a replacement of grep.
These are the instructions I followed to use ack from within emacs:

Now I don't like the output format that is used in this el file, I would…

My problem is I am opening a buffer using
(set-buffer (find-tag-noselect (current-word)))
and then I try to copy some text out of that buffer. The text that I get back has only the properties (fontified nil). find-tag-noselect automatically opens the buffer found in the TAGS file but it seems…

I have the following dead simple elisp functions; the first removes the fill breaks from the current paragraph, and the second loops through the current document applying the first to each paragraph in turn, in effect removing all single line-breaks from the document. It runs fast on my low-spec…

hello
I have written few functions, which nearly identical, save for names. For example
; x is name, such as function/paragraph/line/etc.
(defun my-x-function
(interactive)
(mark-x) (do-more-stuff) (modify-x))
is there a way to put it automatically? I have a feeling this is what macros do,…
