I tried emacs on osx and there was this enormous toolbar that I couldn't hide. How do you not have that thing? Also the fonts were all gross and the method of configuring them was a thousand times harder than it needed to be.

In gnu emacs on Windows 7, alt-space doesn't bring up the window menu. Can I fix this?

Hmm. I think I'll have to make my own alt-space,m keybind to minimize the window. emacs is great and all, but there are so many cases where the most basic poo poo is just plain broken. Every time I try it, I seem to hit all of these issues before being able to get anything useful done.

I'm feeling a bit retarded. How do I get emacs to know about all of the files in our projects? They consist of our own special jam-based build system, which also generates visual studio .sln files. Edit: Seems like I'd have to cobble something together and use some existing management system. This sounds very difficult. Edit again: I know undo is supposed to be different, but I can't get it to undo more than the last thing that I did. It just keeps undoing/redoing the last command. I can't get back to a state earlier than that. Edit again: I have no idea what was happening but it is working now. baby puzzle fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Nov 18, 2011 |

Is there a way to swap the command and control keys in OSX for emacs only? Also, I don't really understand why anybody would caps lock as control. I use caps lock a lot (people don't?) Most of the control combinations are on the left hand. I'd like to make stuff like C-x C-s easier.

The purpose is to use emacs in the same way that I do on Windows 7 at work, so that won't really help me.

How do I pare down the search path of a find-grep-dired (or whatever other function that might do the same thing) so that it will not take literally hours? I have two specific folders I want to look in that have a common base, but I want to avoid searching everything else under that base. I also only need to search headers. For example, I want to search both of these patterns: d:/dev/project/highlevel/code/*.h d:/dev/project/lowlevel/code/*.h

I guess there is something wrong with my stuff because grep exits abnormally before finding everything. Oh well! ----- I'm feeling pretty let down by these tools so far. As hard as I try, I have yet to accomplish any work. Where are the supposed productivity gains?

Fren posted:If you could be a bit more specific about what it is you're trying to do, maybe we can help. I am just trying to do a simple search and replace across an entire project, which will probably touch about 100 files. This takes seconds in Visual Studio, because it has everything indexed. Emacs has no concept of where my source code is (another issue I'd like to fix), and so it winds up searching through a bunch of unrelated stuff, taking hours to do. If the issue was urgent then I'd just do it with Visual Studio. Maybe first I need to figure out how to get an EDE project set up. I assume that once I have one, then emacs will index everything in it and I can search/replace throughout the project easily.

Apparently I'm searching through 300,000 files, which is why it doesn't get anywhere. I'm trying to reproduce what was happening before, but it appears to be working now. Oh well. I can certainly just manually run this search multiple times in various locations, but that really isn't reasonable for actually getting work done.

Ok. What you are saying makes sense. I asked some of the other guys here if they had worked on getting tags set up for our projects, but nobody had. I played with etags for a bit and was not impressed. One of the guys suggested looking into gnu global, which seems to be a lot smarter, so I'll probably do that.

I have a question about org mode. Is this possible? code:Edit: I guess I should expect the answer to be "why would you want to do that?" I want to paste something huge like a callstack into my notes, and be able to collapse it. But I don't want to collapse notes after the callstack. code:baby puzzle fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Mar 13, 2012 |

What I pasted isn't indented because I'm using org-indent-mode. I turned that off and it still doesn't work. I guess I need to update because I'm on 6.33x.

I don't know about Fren's setup, but I use color-theme. It has a lot of presets. I remember them all being fairly bad so I had to modify one to create my own, which hasn't gone very well so far. I also changed the default font to Consolas.

I had already posted that I'm using org-indent-mode. I'm trying to update org mode. These instructions http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#installing-elpa aren't very specific. Where do I put this package.el? I put it into my .emacs.el folder and it did not work. I also tried to install ELPA, which went fine... but apparently there are two different things called ELPA and I installed the wrong one. I guess http://elpa.gnu.org/ this is what I want, but there aren't any installation instructions there.

How do I paste arbitrary text into org mode without it freaking out? I.E. text that may have lines beginning with #, *, or |. I figure I want some kind of "unformatted" block, but that isn't getting me anywhere.

I am still using emacs because I haven't found a replacement for orgmode yet.. I wonder if I should completely start again, though. Is there a package that makes emacs behave like a decent modern program? I still have all of these problems: - I am still manually resizing the window every time I open it. - I am still manually opening all of my files because emacs doesn't remember which files I had open. Those issues are really just the tip of the iceberg. Any modern program just does those things automatically because it isn't 1983. Edit: I found ErgoEmacs after posting. I think I'll try it out. Edit 2: Nevermind, that thing sucks. baby puzzle fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Feb 22, 2014 |

Deus Rex posted:You can set a default frame size by customizing default-frame-alist. Good SO answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/94277/692055 I suppose I could spend time doing these things and maybe even have success but I wonder when emacs is supposed to start working for me instead of the other way around... Anyway, does emacs have something like Sublime Text's command palette? I am simply trying to search for a command. Actually I'm trying to figure out how to sort my todo list in org mode... but I don't see why this simple task should require a google search. Also all references that I can find only give me the shortcut key which I will never remember. I want the actual command name.

Zombywuf posted:Well if you're talking about within emacs you have access to your clipboard history, C-y will paste the clipboard contents, M-y will replace that with the previous contents. Repeated M-y will cycle through the history. Ok but my windows clipboard is still wiped out. I don't even want that functionality.. I just want ctrl-backspace to delete a word.
