I prefer dirtree (screenshot below) by Ye Wenbin. It feels pretty close to NERDTree / the TextMate drawer. It took me a few minutes of trial and error to figure out the dependencies, so take a look at the install instructions (and a few minor edits to the source) I’ve got in this repo.
My “highly extensible editor” of choice is vim. Started using vi 10 years ago, at age 17, and I haven’t really looked back. I like to stay away from my mouse as much as possible. I rarely work in compiled languages these days, so the only thing I feel like I’m missing from an IDE … Read more
Really, as far as I am aware from asking people, there is no de facto standard, people have strong opinions about which they prefer but with little specific evidence other than “it works for me in most cases”. The haskell-indentation package and haskell-indent packages are the most popular: both have a tab cycle both are … Read more
No specific article, really, but I’ve found EmacsWiki to be full of useful information. Consider checking out these entries: CPlusPlus as a starting point for many C++-related articles, and CppTemplate to define a template that can give you a good skeleton when you start new files
How about something like this: (add-hook ‘markdown-mode-hook (lambda () (variable-pitch-mode t)) You can then customize the variable-pitch face, and the other faces in the buffer will inherit from this instead of the default face. Read the docs for buffer-face-mode for more customization details. (BufFace is also used for text-scale-increase and text-scale-decrease… very useful.)
Function global-set-key is an interactive function based on define-key which you can invoke by typing M-x global-set-key. Function define-key is rather used in Lisp programs. You can look up global-set-key‘s source code with C-h f global-set-key to see that it only wraps define-key. To answer your question, there are no significant differences between them.
C-c / t (org-show-todo-tree) will redisplay the current document as a sparse tree which only shows TODO items. Alternatively, to show only DONE items, you can use C-c / T DONE. For more details on sparse trees, see the Org manual.
In Emacs 23.2 and higher, the dired-x.el module is available, and it gives you access to a command that does exactly what you want. After you load it (just (load “dired-x”), normally), you’ll be able to invoke the function dired-do-find-marked-files. Here’s its built-in documentation: (dired-do-find-marked-files &optional NOSELECT) Find all marked files displaying all of them … Read more
Why are you clicking on things with a mouse? I thought you’re using Emacs? Move point to the line you’re interested in and press o to open it in another window or C-o to open the file but stay on Dired buffer. If you must do it with the mouse, use middle-click to do the … Read more
