Question on re-search-forward and infinite loop
|
| |
Hi, By accident I stumpled on a way to force Emacs in a infinite loop with `re-search-forward'. If I create a shiny new buffer, insert something like this: ,---- ...`---- -- go back beyond the while-clause and evaluate it, Emacs enters an infinite loop. As far as I was able to find out `re-search-forward' with this regexp moves point to the beginning... more »

external script inserting text at point
|
| |
hi I'm trying to trigger insertion of text-snippets into the current buffer/point from external scripts. E.g I tried from bash to call emacsclient -e '(insert "huhu")' and emacsclient -ne '(insert-file "~/tmp/tst.pl")' but without success... what am I missing? Do I have to select the current point?... more »

Can I build a dictionary in my Emacs?
|
| |
I want to build a dictionary in my Emacs. So I can put my specific words, expressions and their meanings into it. By doing this, when I need them, I don't need to google them out again. I don't know if it is suitable to call it dictionary, but it likes dictionary. Any good suggestions? Thanks Water Lin... more »

How to avoid SPACE TAB in a file?
|
| |
It occurs to me occasionally that I happen to write SPACE TAB in a buffer saved into a file. This is mostly when I edit files with different tabbing conventions. Is there are general clean minor-mode or other way to avoid writing this combination in general?

Remove all directory listings buffers
|
| |
I often end up with lots of directory buffers (those buffers with "dired by name" mode), after navigating in the filesystem in order to open files. Is there an easy way to get rid of all those buffers at once, and leaving the other? Thanks

Why my font setting changes?
|
| |
I need to open some Emacs windows for better editing performances. One for normal text editing and the other for ECB coding. But I don't know why my Emacs font changes when I use command M-x new-frame to open a new Emacs frame. I just don't like the font Emacs using for my new frame. How can I set this?... more »

Automatically viewing diffs while composing changes with vc-mode
|
| |
Whenever I'm composing a changelog entry for vc-mode, I like to be able to view the corresponding diff. Currently, after I use 'C-x v v' to create the *VC-Log* buffer, I immediately press 'C-c C-d' to open the *VC-Diff* buffer. Then after entering my changelog entry and committing with 'C-c C-c', I always immediately close the *VC-Diff*... more »

my org-mode mysteriously uses opera as default browser...
|
| |
Hi M-x browse-url works as supposed and opens urls in Firefox. But since I installed opera on my ubuntu-system org-mode insists to use opera instead of FF... I already checked "customize-group org-mode" and grepped thru all my .el for "opera". And FF is still the default of gnome. Any suggestion what I can do?... more »
