Ok this is just me dumping a few more things I ended up googling for today

Multiple ‘windows’ pointing to the same buffer, scrolling as if one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/970292/emacs-multiple-columns-one-buffer

Enable line numbers M-x linum-mode http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LineNumbers

Showing row and column of cursor within file M-x line-number-mode M-x column-number-mode http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Position-Info.html

Steve Yegge’s awesome article on tweaking Emacs

OK back to work!

The indentation system on emacs is brilliant for most languages but manually going through and tabbing the lines to get the correct indentation is such a waste of time.

First select everything in the buffer C-x h

Next fix indentation! M-x indent-region

And thats it! Everything should be indented to the correct level.

If you have an error in the Windows event log with no decent information, try this site out: http://www.eventid.net/ It will take a event-id and source or just the vague error message and give a decent rundown on what might have happened. I’m getting a lot of these turnign up in Zenoss these days!

Just wonderful! http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/01/evolution-of-multicellularity/

Alas it seems there no decent way to have this but you can open a new frame. C-x 5 2 or File->New Frame

This is just a quick post. At work I’m having to do a lot of TCL development and having recently become a convert to Emacs I obviously want to use it for everything!

The shortcuts are a bugger to remember so I thought I’d dump them here so I know where I can find them.

From http://www.rgrjr.com/emacs/advanced.html#tcl-mode

Commands:

M-x tcl-mode M-x inferior-tcl (C-c C-t in a Tcl source buffer) Tcl editing:

C-c TAB (tcl-help-on-word) C-c C-c (comment-region) Tcl editing support for inferior Tcl:

C-c C-t (inferior-tcl) creates one. C-c C-s (switch-to-tcl) switches to the inferior Tcl process buffer (but does not create one). C-c C-x (tcl-eval-region) C-M-x or C-c C-v (tcl-eval-defun) C-c C-f (tcl-load-file) loads a Tcl file into the inferior Tcl process

Awesome! The eval region has to be the thing I love most from writing lis pin emacs so its great to have it for TCL.

Anyhoo thats all!

As a budding Emacs nerd I’m looking at replacing my current awesome terminal emulator Terminator (it’s in the Ubuntu repos) with a shell within emacs.

I had a play with eshell and it worked well, but I wanted to be able to use a feature called find-file-at-point which opens the file your cursor is currently over in the buffer.

Turns out this is pretty damn easy: cd /ssh:username@servername:/path/you/want

Hit return, type in your password and you in!

A couple of lovely short stories to fill your lunch breaks. Enjoy!
