Question using Emacs, switchinig between buffers

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I've a question about using Emacs as editor and terminal. I split my window into different windows with C-x 3for example. One of the generated Window is used as terminal with M-x term. Usually I switch with C-x ointo another window. Suppose I switched to the terminal buffer, from there I cannot use C-x o to switch to another buffer. What short cut can I use to switch from the terminal buffer into another? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Question using Emacs, switchinig between buffers

To prevent confusion, I only run one "window" of emacs and so I use window in the emacs sense. I'm looking to get a window split which, let's say 70 in width, contains the completions buffer on the new split when I start emacs. I think I need to have a dedicated window.

Say I have multiple windows open in Emacs 24.1 and that one of those windows is an M-x ansi-term window with a shell.

By default, when I switch to an ansi-term window, Emacs activates line-run mode, which prevents me from using keyboard shortcuts that work on the shell (e.g. tab completion, etc.).

A very useful (Windows) utility I use is TenClips - http://www.paludour.net/TenClips.html

It allows you to create enumerated clipboards/emacs-like buffers easily using ctrl + f1, ctrl + f2, ctrl + f3, etc., copy to the clipboard in the first buffer, switch to the second buffer, copy without loosing our first buffer, switch back to the first buffer and paste, switch to the second buffer and paste

How to use ESC key for Emacs 18 weeks 3 days 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

I would like to associate the following function (which toggles on and off full-screen on the active buffer):

(defun toggle-maximize-buffer () "Maximize buffer" (interactive) (if (= 1 (length (window-list))) (jump-to-register '_) (progn (set-register '_ (list (current-window-configuration))) (delete-other-windows))))

with the keyboard shortcut Alt+Sfhit+o.

In osx I make all new emacs buffers open in the same window/frame by putting this in .emacs.

(setq ns-pop-up-frames nil)

Alias to make emacs open a file in a new buffer (NOT frame) and be activated/come to front?

I want to be able to do the same in debian (gnome). Is it possible? A solution that will also work for xmonad (and similar wms) would be very much appreciated.

Open terminal from emacs 41 weeks 3 days ago

Is there a fast way (keyboard shortcut) to open a terminal emulator (in my case urxvt) in the same directory as the file in the current emacs buffer?

Hi

So far I have always used the man pages, but decided to give info a try. To that end I started reading the tutorial directly from the terminal. In the tutorial/introduction it says that the info pages can be read both from the terminal and from emacs, and if read in emacs, the mouse can be used for things such as clicking links, next, etc.
