emacs creating function

http://unix.stackexchange.com – Sometimes I justify text in emacs using C-u 70 M-x fill-region. I would like to have a function in .emacs file that has a parameter so that I can use a shortcut to call the function instead of having to do C-u 70 fill-region. I would have 2 shortcuts, one uses default 70 and another asks for a parameter. I'm very new to emacs programming but I've been using emacs for a while now. If there is a solution for this, could you explain what exactly happens? (HowTos)

How to use ESC key for Emacs 18 weeks 1 day ago

When typing Esc within an Emacs window under Unity (Emacs 23 standard package), the sound is turned on/off, but Emacs does not receive the key.

How can I change (probably) unity such that the Esc and also the other function keys are interpreted by Emacs?

A very crude workaround that always works in (GNU) Emacs is to use C-[ in place of Esc.

The question Why is the meta key is not working wh

Emacs function on set of files 27 weeks 3 days ago

Is there a way implemented in Emacs to apply a function on a set of files? (Or, if not, do you know of such an extension?)

For example, if you have a project in a directory (say, scripts to compile and run, the source, and an XML database).

I am using Linux Fedora 13 (Constantine) and emacs 23.1.1. I am trying to set up a .emacs file for initialization, by using emacs itself to edit and save a file .emacs in my home directory. However, although the file is there, emacs does not seem to recognize it.

How can I tell emacs to wrap lines at the 80th character?

I am looking for a solution I can put in /.emacs.

I put this in /.emacs but it doesn't work.

;; ========== Enable Line Numbering ==========

(line-number-mode 1)

;; ========== Set the fill column ==========

(setq-default fill-column 80)

This question is in the continuity of a previous question here: How make emacs console mode inherit shell colors

On Ubuntu 12.10 and Gnome Shell 3.6.2 I am running Emacs.

Hi comm, I'd appreciate somebody could help me with this.

Emacs as Root 1 year 16 weeks ago

Running 'sudo emacs -nw ....' works, but does not give me any of the customizations in my ~/.emacs file. This is because emacs is looking in /home/root/.emacs? I created a soft link from my ~/.emacs to the root's home, but then emacs was not happy about other code it required in ~/.emacs.d/.

I have noticed that zsh has a lot of things I see in emacs. I can make a selection with ctrl+space and selecting a region. I can make copies just like in emacs while I stay inside zsh. In emacs I'm able to use my system clipboard (previously with some additional configuration needed but this works out of the box now in emacs).

I've tried apt-get purging and reinstalling emacs, but if I run:

Code: emacs ~/.bashrc I get a blank file (emacs.d) that looks like this:

If I run the same command as root:

Code: sudo emacs ~/.bashrc I get the correct file that looks like this:

I've never understood the buffer thing, but emacs has worked great for me in the past.
