Emacs seems to save synchronously, i.e. the interface locks up during a save.
This is especially noticeable when using tramp.
Is there any way to have the save happen in the background?
Hi
Is there some way I can make the matlab integrated editor not use emacs shortcut, but use more normal shortcuts such that I can press CTRL-c and CTRL-v and not be completely confused by the editor doing weird stuff?
I'm using matlab on linux btw.
Would anyone have any pointers on getting PNG images to display in Emacs 23 under Win32?.. I have installed the gnuwin32 set of utilities, including libpng and zlib; C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin is in path. JPG files started working but not PNGs. I'd appreciate any hints on getting this to work.
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've reported it as one, but thought I'd check here just in case there is a workaround).
geben 0.26
xdebug 2.0.5
emacs 23.1.1
5.3.2-1ubuntu4.1
Thanks!
I've never learned to use Vi or Emacs yet people do use them still, despite there being other editors out there that are free and useful. What is it about these two and any others like them that means they hold appeal in the face of the newer editors?
The echo area is the line at the bottom of Emacs below the mode line:
~ ~
| |
+-----------------------+
|-U:--- mode-line |
+-----------------------+
| M-x echo-area |
+-----------------------+
Now the mode line is highly customizable while the echo area is more rigid (and unused a lot of the time). The question is pretty simple: is it possible to hide the echo area during inactivity and redisplay it once it needs your attention:
~ ~ ~ ~
| | | |
| | +-----------------------+
| | |-U:--- mode-line |
+-----------------------+ +-----------------------+
|-U:--- mode-line | | M-x echo-area |
+-----------------------+ +-----------------------+
Inactive Active
This is similar to the way Google Chrome displays URLs when you hover your mose over a link and the Firefox addon Pentadactyl where the command-line is hidden by default.
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
I've checked my elisp files to make sure that I do not have any bindings that contain Shift+R (and I have not found any). I expect SHIFT+R to print an uppercase character, but instead I get R R undefined inside of the Emacs command line. This is only in C/C++ major modes.
Any suggestions?
Update: Describing the key shows that it is undefined. How would I define it for the normal, expected use (capitalizing the letter R)?
I'm using a Mac keyboard on Ubuntu at work. What do I add to my .emacs file to turn the command key to Meta?
I tried (setq mac-command-key-is-meta t) and (setq mac-command-key 'meta) and neither works.
I can't seem to find this on google anywhere. I am trying to move to emacs from eclipse but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set my svn author name so it doesn't default the author name OR save the password so I don't have to type it in any each time. I am Ubuntu 8.10 if that matters.
Any insight would be great. Thanks.
Is there an easy way to use emacs key-bindings when you are using a not-English (Russian) keyboard layout?
Whenever an international layout is on, all keystrokes are interpreted literally, M-? instead of M-a. As a result I can't use commands.
It would also be nice if Linux could interpret non-prefixed and shift-prefixed keys according according to an international layout, while keeping the rest English.
Hello,
I have a file in emacs with the buffer coding system set to "no conversion", showing an equals sign ("=") in the mode-line.
I don't know how to change this coding system.
Could anyone help?
Thanks
I have configured my emacs to run zsh shell within ansi-term. However, copy/paste no longer works i.e. nothing is getting pasted from kill-ring to the terminal.
Changing the TERM to vt100, or eterm doesn't solve the problem.
Would appreciate any ideas or solution.
Thanks

I'm using Gnu Emacs on OSX, Windows, and Linux. Is there some command which can download and install packages (or .el files) automatically? I've seen there are some work-in-progress projects on the internet (after googling) but I was wondering if I was missing some awesome package manager out there that just works.
Whenever I edit files on emacs, it seems a temporary file is created with the same name with ~ appended to it. Does anyone know an quick/easy way to delete all of these files in the working directory?
Hello,
GNU Emacs 23.1.1
Fedora 13
I can select the colour theme by
M-x color-theme-select
I scroll down and select the
clarity and beauty
This works ok. However, in my configuration I am not sure how to select this. This is what I have, but doesn't work.
(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-ClarityandBeauty)
many thanks for any suggestions,
Something like this:
http://perl.plover.com/yak/regex/samples/slide083.html
In other words I want to match successfully on { { foo } { bar} } but not on { { foo } .
I see it's possible in perl, and in .NET. Is it possible in emacs regex?
I'm using the php debugger geben and nxhtml-mode -- my standard mode for editing php files. Unfortunately, these two modes don't mix well. Is it possible to configure emacs such a way that it enables nxhtml only conditionaly, when I open php files manually, but enables php-mode instead when the buffer is opened by geben?
hello.
I am wondering if there is local version control/snapshots for emacs independent of VC?
let me clarify:
every time I save buffer, I would like to be able to keep track of changes of each save in session. I know I can do something similar with backup files, but they are not automated like VC and a somewhat cumbersome.
I have searched Google, but did not find the solution.
Perhaps my query string was not good.
Thanks
Hi,
do you know what is the easiest way to move selected region or line (if there is no selection) up or down in emacs? I'm looking for the same functionality as is in eclipse (bounded to M-up, M-down).
Thanks
Hi there,
recently I started using Emacs as a Python IDE, and it not quite intuitive... The problem I am struggling with right now is how to pass command line arguments to the inferior python shell when the buffer is evaluated with C-c C-c. Thanks for help.
In Textmate I can wrap enclosing characters ('(', '[', '"', etc.) around text by selecting it and hitting the opening character. For example, if I select word and hit (, it will become (word). What does Emacs call this feature and how do I enable it?
how can i change the initial directory on emacs (i start using it today, and there are a lot of things to learn!!),
right now im using M-X cd and then i change the directory that i use for C-x C-f, but in a daily work im gonna use heavily one particular directory so i need to make the change permanent...
also if you have some tips for a starter it will be nice
in a file, i have used m-x ucs-insert to insert a hex character 9e (which in emacs shows up as \236). however, when this is read in by the C program, 9e is becoming 0x9ec2. Where is this c2 coming from and how do i get rid of it??
Hi,
given all the possible solutions to have a template system with GNU Emacs, what do people use today ? I am still using skeleton-mode but as I read it here and there, we must be really few to do so.
What are you using and why ? (maybe I could switch to a more popular tool).
Cheers
