those funny non-ASCII characters
|
| |
I often paste content from web pages into an emacs org-mode buffer and I
get the odd quote characters or dashes that are not ASCII. I created a
lisp function to remove the unicode ones that are just 8 bits. Lately I
am seeing that there are characters that are not being caught. They show
up in emacs as the expected character. When I kill/yank them into lisp... more »

Why do replace commands sometimes not work?
|
| |
There's a problem I've encountered with Emacs for many years. I never reported it because I've been running Emacs 21.3 under Windows, and I figured that Emacs users on Windows are probably a very small percentage of Emacs users, and that 21.3 is so old that it nobody would be interested in debugging the problem.... more »

Reading OS Version and decide what to do?
|
| |
Hi,
I have no knowledge about Emacs LISP, but is there any way to get what
os version is being used?
For example, on linux and bash and external utility like cut, I can
get the os version by "uname -r" and get what I want by using cut
utility.
Is there a way to simulate like that in Emacs LISP? like launching... more »

Umlauts on Mac in 24 pretest

| |
I am using Emacs pretest 24.0.97 on a Mac with Lion 10.7.4.
Some of my documents are in German, so I need to enter umlauts and sharp s.

I still would like to use Cmd-X_C_V for Cut-Copy-Paste.
And I still would like to use Alt as the meta key.... more »

How to disable warnings/questions when using desktop-save-mode?
|
| |
Hi,
1) I have enabled desktop-save mode (with (desktop-save-mode 1)) since I find this
quite useful. I recently started to use different instances of Emacs (Emacs 24
GTK Snapshot version on Xubuntu 12.04). Every time I open another instance of
Emacs, I receive "...Warning: desktop file appears to be in... more »

Table formatting (cell padding) and navigation
|
| |
I am using emacs 24.0.92.1 with the table psuedo-mode.
1) Is there a way to pad cells so that there is one or more spaces between the
text and the cell separator (i.e. '|')?
2) I realize that table mode isn't really a mode. Nonetheless I find doing C-h m
useful for finding out what keys are bound in a particular mode. Where can I... more »

Emacs quitting on Control-G when committing to mercurial
|
| |
That's a bug. Emacs' process has the wrong pgid when its parent isn't an
interactive shell. Here's a workaround for the same problem using Git. I
would hope you can configure Mercurial similarly.

Where can I find `aget'
|
| |
I am trying to experiment with elnode.el but cannot get it running at
all.
The good old `Symbol's function definition is void:' tells me that
there is no `aget'. Which library contains `aget'?
