I don't know exactly! Already years ago I observed that quite a few such straight-forward settings did not work and it only worked to set: (global-set-key [C-s-268632070] 'forward-sexp) which I also had in Solaris with GNU Emacs 21.x? To achieve this setting you'd need to bind the key first manually and then invoke repeat-last-command to kill the line from mini-buffer and insert it into .emacs, like: C-x Esc-Esc C-a C-k C-g C-x C-f .emacs RET C-y C-x C-s There is now a way or syntax to make key bindings clear and work: (global-set-key (kbd "C-©") 'global-set-key) and it does not always work in Emacs.app! © is no my German keyboard ?-G, which works in all Emacsen, the X clients with major- numbers 21?23, Carbon Emacs, and also Emacs.app. But binding the key C-© does *not* work in the latter, at least not from the user's init file. One problem I observed is that the number as in my first example is varying! (With the number of extra key bindings I add? Some numbers of key combinations are stable, OTOH ...) On my German keyboard I cannot simply press s-} (it would be ???-9). I tested your key binding by putting (global-set-key [(meta ?})] 'transpose-sexps) in my .emacs file. s-} is already bound ? try C-h b! When I then type C-h k Esc } I get the answer (shortened) transpose-sexps, bound to M-}, C-M-t. In X11 and in Carbon Emacs M-} does not work, i.e., this key combination does not seem to produce an input event in GNU Emacsen. If you'd like to experiment with M-} or s-}, here are some combinations I tried for C-©: (global-set-key (kbd "C-©") 'global-set-key) (global-set-key [(control ?©)] 'global-set-key) (global-set-key [?\C-©] 'global-set-key) (global-set-key [C-©] 'global-set-key) (global-set-key [A-C-g] 'global-set-key) (global-set-key [(alt control ?g)] 'global-set-key) which show the many ways to achieve a key binding. In X11 or Carbon Emacs C-h k C-© tells me about global-set-key: It is bound to C-©, , , A-C-g. So some expressions are obviously equivalent, and all work, of course ... Actually, among the "Key translations" listed upon C-h b I have in Emacsp.app: A-C-g global-set-key C-© global-set-key global-set-key global-set-key but I can't access or type or make function any!

This is emacs version 23.0.60.1 I want to be able to type long lines in emacs and then select them in a such way so that when I copy and paste them into a different application, each long line gets copied as is, without being split and without the backslash character at the end of each of the split lines. For example, if I type a 300-character line in emacs without line breaks in an emacs window that's 80 characters wide, and if I select it in emacs and paste it into another program (using Command-C and Command-V to copy and then paste), I don't want it to look like this when it ends up in the other program: The first 79 chars \ the next 79 chars \ the next 79 chars \ the next 63 chars If I use the normal yank-kill emacs mechanism, the copied line doesn't end up in the Mac OS paste buffer. Is there another way to select text in "NSEmacs" under Mac OS 10.5 so that it can be copied and pasted outside of emacs without the line breaks?

The NeXTStep (GNUStep) code that NSEmacs is built on offers this function: `ns-copy-including-secondary'. It does the same thing as `kill-ring-save', and in addition, it puts the text into the Mac's paste buffer. The problem with this function is that it doesn't work when I'm using 8-bit ASCII text. I use this a lot with the ISO-8859-1 encoding in order to write text that includes characters with Spanish diacritical marks. As soon as `ns-copy-including-secondary' encounters one of these special characters, it fails and leaves the Mac's paste buffer empty. I looked through the source code, and I think that this function is somehow expecting the pasted text to be in UTF-8, or at least to be convertable into that encoding. This begs a new question: is there a function in Emacs 23.0.60.1 which will convert an ISO-8859-1 string into UTF-8? If so, I can write my own version of `ns-copy-including-secondary' which performs this conversion before putting the text into the secondary paste buffer.

Emacs will make a frame on my own XServer successfully, but attempting to make a frame on another computer results in the complaint: x-create-frame-with-faces: cannot connect to X server The two machines have a working network connection; and I can display XClients from one machine on the other's XServer via ssh---so I know XForwarding is operational. Emacs gives the same complaint with firewalls down, so it does not seem to be a firewall issue either. Machine address are specified in xhosts.

On the remote host you need to enable your local computer and/or your local account. The xhost programme does this. SSH is IMO a one-way street: an X client on the remote computer is allowed to use your local X server (I think the -L option of ssh would allow your local client access to the remote server). The communication between between the remote client and your local server is then made secure. Inherently your remote account at the remote host is allowed to use your local server. -- Greetings Pete UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are.

So if I understand you rightly, the correct procedure for enabling a local Emacs to project frames on a remote display (after setting the xhost list) is to establish a ssh tunnel forwarding the X11 port from the local to the remote computer using something like: ssh -XL 6000:remoteHost:6000 -l user -N remoteHost And this will avoid messing around with the DISPLAY environmental variable on the remote computer? Am I correct in thinking this /does not/ require an opening in the OSX firewall for port 6000, since ssh catch the packets before they are filtered? Thanks!

You're running already an X server on your local host. It will be something like :0.

I don't think so. SSH is just another application. The ssh programme has the -v or -vv or -vvv option to find the cause of a failure. There can also be restrictions from the ssh configuration files on local and on remote host! I'm no OpenSSH guru.

Either using Nathaniel's procedure (which is roughly what I would have done), or, alternatively: - We know that this spell-checking is handled by "flyspell". - Type M-x flyspell- TAB to find the commands whose names begin with "flyspell-". - Pick the most promising one, flyspell-word-before-point - C-h f flyspell-word-before-point RET to find the key binding. -- http://aquamacs.org -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X http://aquamacs.org/donate -- Could we help you?

Use your own keymap variable, `ians-bindings, `ians-keys-mode- keys', and use that as the mode keymap. Major mode bindings override the global ones, and minor mode bindings override everything else, if I remember correctly. My `osx-key-mode' goes out of its way to define a "low-priority keymap" in addition to the normal, high-priority minor mode keymap. Your problem points out a general design flaw in Emacs: key bindings don't have priorities. I'm cc'ing Stefan Monnier who, I believe, wanted key priorities to be put on the "to do" list some 1-2 years ago when I pointed out this issue. I think it's too late to introduce such changes in Emacs 23, but perhaps this can be supported in Emacs 24. - David -- http://aquamacs.org -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X http://aquamacs.org/donate -- Could we help you?

Avdi has given you the answer. You could also directly load the package (with "load" for instance), rather than just saying (require 'rails) (or whatever it is). The question here is what the right thing to do would be for Aquamacs. If we add a preference to load user-provided functions, we will almost certainly create situations of incompatibility, where Aquamacs comes with a modified version of some package, or needs a certain version number. Emacs does not provide a systematic versioning API so that you can't require a certain package version. Other packages, such as "htmlize" have been extended in Aquamacs; if you load a brand-new version of "htmlize" instead of the Aquamacs one, then you will break printing. (Rails is okay to update externally.) In the end, it is up to us (well, more often than not: me) to investigate user's reports, and if the packages they use aren't somewhat predictable, then this becomes rather tricky. This is the main reason why internal packages take precedence over external ones, but of course this can be discussed. -- http://aquamacs.org -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X http://aquamacs.org/donate -- Could we help you?

I may have missed this in the documentation, but my confusion stemmed from the fact that I was relying on local customizations overriding the defaults (which is a general pattern I've come to expect). Perhaps a solution would be to define a user directory for packages that appears in the load-path before those in the Aquamacs bundle with the caveat that you may break functionality if you are not careful about what you override. Anyway, this is just a suggestion and is easy enough to implement in Preferences.el that it's really a non-issue.

Use M-x locate-library ispell to ensure that you're using the version of ispell.elc bundled with Aquamacs. Also try spell checking in Aquamacs launched without customizations, under Help-->Diagnose and Report Bug, and see if the behavior is the same. Have you used or configured aspell at all, apart from installing cocoAspell? What's the value of ispell-use-cocoaspell in an Aquamacs session where you haven't activated or loaded (or required) ispell? We'll get this sorted out. --Nathaniel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have the subsequent two commands in my preferences file (setq text-mode-hook (quote (turn-off-auto-fill))) (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-off-auto-fill) and the subsequent (unless (fboundp 'auto-detect-longlines) (defun auto-detect-longlines () t)) in my customizations file. It might be better to put the first two Lisp expressions into the customizations too. As far as I remember, I found these customizations in the Aquamacs help.

How do I turn off Hard Word Wrap for every new buffer without > reaching for the Options Menu or meta-key? Easy, because there's a customization variable. (setq auto-word-wrap-default-function 'turn-on-word-wrap) in your Preferences.el, or you use a customization buffer to set this to `turn-on-word-wrap'. The other solution posted will work, but it will not turn on soft word wrap, and it disables Aquamacs' ability to recognize files that should have auto-fill enabled. -- http://aquamacs.org -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X http://aquamacs.org/donate -- Could we help you?

Hopefully it has one default (nil) entry with associated settings, and one for each of your chosen dictionaries, English [variant 1] and [variant 0]. Try changing dictionaries within Aquamacs -- use the Edit-->Spelling menu or M-x ispell-change-dictionary, hit spacebar to see your options, and click one of the non-default choices. Then try spell-checking again. By the way, I believe your cocoAspell preferences will only be checked when ispell is first started, so you will have to re-start Aquamacs (or M-x unload-feature ispell) and re-start ispell if you want changes to be registered. --Nathaniel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(Hence they get treated slightly differently from other English dictionaries in Aquamacs's version of ispell.el, in that they aren't automatically selected as a default dictionary.) See http://people.inf.elte.hu/qzy/debian/imind/aspell/current/aspell-en-60.0-0/doc/extra.txt(near the end of the page) Next steps to take: 1) Please select a standalone dictionary in cocoAspell and we'll go from there. I have had no trouble with English (United States) [w_accents]. Try selecting that one alone. 2) Re-start Aquamacs. 3) Use Help-->Diagnose and Report Bug-->Start Aquamacs Without Customizations 4) in a buffer with text, M-x ispell If this doesn't work, let's take this discussion off the list to sort things out. Check the value of ispell-dictionary-alist; if it's the same flood of languages (the default ispell list, with no relation to what you actually have installed!), that gives me a place to start. --Nathaniel On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 10:14 AM, sergio wrote: > Click on "below" or scroll down in the help window to see the actual value. >> Hopefully it has one default (nil) entry with associated settings, and one >> for each of your chosen dictionaries, English [variant 1] and [variant 0]. >> >> > okay, this looks interesting.. > > i hit below, and there is a FLOOD of languages entered.. > > but no English [variant 1] or [variant 0]. > > Try changing dictionaries within Aquamacs -- use the Edit-->Spelling menu >> or M-x ispell-change-dictionary, hit spacebar to see your options, and click >> one of the non-default choices.

Many many thanks for your suggestions, both of you. David, yours was interesting because I had already tried that in the Aquamacs Preferences and had no change at all. I tried adding the line to my preferences.el and that didn't make much difference either. So I stepped back to Thomas's suggestion and added it all in to my preferences.el file (the line " ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful." in customizations.el keeps me away!) and it does what I think it should do. I'm going to have another go with David's suggestion on a vanilla install of my favourite ext editor. If it doesn't work there then perhaps something is overriding it elsewhere in the Aquamacs preferences stack.

Message-ID: Hi. This is maybe off-topic, but there is a trace of Emcas-ness in what follows. I am using bash on my Mac OS X (Leopard) box. My PATH is as follows (slightly reformatted for readability); /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/universal-darwin . /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin /sw/bin /sw/sbin /usr/libexec /Developer/Tools /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11/bin . I am not crazy about this, for several reasons. Having a dot (current directory) so high in the list is Bad News from a security viewpoint. The Emacs.app application doesn't exist on my machine anymore. I don't want to search /usr/local/texlive/2007, since I'm using the 2008 version of TeXLive. You may wonder how I'm setting my PATH. Here's how (i.e., here's the relevant part of .bashrc): TeX=/usr/local/texlive/2008 (echo $PATH | grep -q /usr/local/sbin) || PATH=/usr/local/sbin:$PATH (echo $PATH | grep -q /usr/local/bin) || PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH PATH=$TeX/bin/universal-darwin:$PATH export PATH=${PATH}:. So from the looks of things, the default PATH must consist of . /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin /sw/bin /sw/sbin /usr/libexec /Developer/Tools /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11/bin Since I want to change this, I need to know where this default is set.

This is what is imported into Aquamacs, in addition to what is inherited by Aquamacs in the first place. If you want to see the code that does this, look at `mac-read- environment-vars-from-shell' and `mac-read-environment-vars-from- shell-2'. Hope that helps. We don't add "." to the PATH, or anything crazy like that. I think we may add some paths in auctex-config.el to facilitate LaTeX use. If there is a bug / annoyance hidden somewhere, let us know!

The simpdftex engine does the three steps. This is what I do in order to use the simpdftex engine (add it to your ~/.emacs file, and you'll find a new menu entry for simpdftex): (defvar simpdflatex-program "simpdftex latex --mode dvips --maxpfb --distiller ps2pdf14" "PDFLaTeX program via dvips") (defun simpdflatex-command nil simpdflatex-program) (setq TeX-expand-list (cons '("%(simpdflatex)" (lambda nil (simpdflatex-command))) TeX-expand-list)) (setq TeX-command-list (cons '("simPDFLaTeX" "%(simpdflatex) %t" TeX-run-TeX nil (latex-mode doctex-mode) :help "Run pLaTeX") TeX-command-list)) (setq TeX-command-output-list (cons '("simpdftex" ("pdf")) TeX-command-output-list)) By the way, this would be a general way to add arbitrary engines. cheers --e.

Apparently you got it via cvs -- there should be an INSTALLL.cvs "manual" or an autogen.sh script. You need to run autoconf and friends -- autogen.sh does exactly that. A general question that erose lately with "configure"d packages (bbdb, EasyPG, ...) and Aquamacs: What is the correct way to specify EMACS for compilation in batch mode?

If you use customize buffers, you will need to make sure you click the right button (save for future sessions). I don't know how you add to the org-mode agenda or add accounts to jabber.

Further to my previous e-mail: "Save Options" works fine for me w.r.t. to "show buffers in new frames". You can always have a look at the file "customizations.el" to see whether this settings (one-buffer-one-frame-mode) has been saved. -- http://aquamacs.org -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X http://aquamacs.org/donate -- Could we help you?

I solve the smtp problem by having a mail-server with authentication on port 80 -- therefore, I can use the same server everywhere;-) But, as you said, what really makes the difference is when and where you "do the work". Customizing Emacs is definitely *not* the worst possibility! Good Luck (oh man, VM -- I had been using that ages ago;-)) It's interesting to see how this stuff keeps sticking around; this must be some quality-thing, really. And it also works on pretty much any real operating system developed over the last decades...

If you've installed it in (~)/Library/.../, it would be nice if you'd bundle it up and offer an installer package for it. We could put that on the Aquamacs homepage. - David -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Some 90% of Aquamacs users used OBOF when I checked (but that's not meant as a quality criterion, of course). Since the advent of tabs, I'm not a proponent of one-buffer-one-frame- mode any longer. Starting with Aquamacs 1.6, we're going to have tabs enabled by default, and one-buffer-one-frame disabled.

I'm not especially crazy about Mail.app (I prefer Thunderbird's interface), but I'd have to say integration was the clincher for me. I love the ability to mouse over a time/day/date in an email message in Mail.app and just click to add an iCal event. And Spotlight integration is also terrific -- it is amazing at dredging up old messages. Excellent add-ins like MsgFiler (http://www.tow.com/ msgfiler), Letterbox (http://harnly.net/software/letterbox) and GPGMail (http://tinyurl.com/2xzkk) also help to shore up some of Mail.app's shortcomings.

Tom Have you considered that these instructions could be faulty or out-of- date? Does the file you're looking at carry a date? I found some rather old (Emacs 20!) cua.el files out there just now. C-h v over the variable in question doesn't give anything, i.e. it's not a known variable... that is usually a good indicator that the names have changed. If you have C-h v cua- TAB, you get a bunch of variable names that have to do with cua. One of them is `cua-overwrite-cursor- color' (note the capitalization), which I think is what you're interested in. > ;;; CUA mode indications > > ;; As mentioned above, the cursor will blink when the global mark is > ;; active.

Hi Enrico, I use Wanderlust for my day-to-day email needs; and you might want to give it a try yourself. Wanderlust supports a range of advanced features, and can be integrated with w3m to render HTML email inside Emacs. Wanderlust does not have integrated access to the OS X address book, but it does integrate with the popular Emacs database BBDB---which can be synchronized with your OS X address book (so this is not really an issue). I have had trouble using Wanderlust with .Mac/Me, but use it with Gmail without trouble. In Carbon Emacs, you can install Wanderlust through a menu command which makes it easy to start working with Wanderlust right away. I have also gotten it working ``manually'' but this route is a bit more involved as Wanderlust requires several additional libraries. Another route you might want to try using Mutt, an advanced command-line email client. While Mutt runs as a separate program apart from Emacs, it integrates satisfactorily by using Emacs as its editing program, and displaying folder summaries, etc, in an Emacs buffer. If you spend a lot of time working in Emacs it is very convenient to manage you email there as well---especially if you use predictive mode, or other text modes that are not available outside of Emacs, or want the full range of Emacs editing commands at your disposal.

This is no doubt a matter of personally varying mileage, but I use Thunderbird (with Lightning and Provider) on a Linux box at work and have found its search facility to be (at best) no more powerful and accurate than Spotlight. Moreover, if you use Mail.app, then (assuming you use the default option of storing local copies of your IMAP folders) when you do a general Spotlight search, it will also bring up your mail messages along with other data. I've found these integrated searches to be very useful. There was a Spotlight plugin for importing Thunderbird mail but it has had a lot of problems that I believe are still not resolved. -chris From skip at pobox.com Thu Nov 20 19:48:26 2008 From: skip at pobox.com (skip@pobox.com) Date: Thu Nov 20 19:48:37 2008 Subject: [OS X Emacs] email with emacs?

Of course it's possible that the installer does something else - like identify whether it is supposed to run in Aquamacs or Emacs, or identify some paths. But that's why the ~/Library.. path is specified separately.

It is usually in /usr/bin/emacs, I believe. The VM install directions specifically warns not to do this. Bytecode formats change.

The menu is named "Window" not just because all applications have a "Window" menu, but also because there are items relating to the selected Emacs window found - 'Select next tab" for instance, or "Split Window". I agree that it's less than ideal, given that there is also a list of buffers (which are shown in a window when selected), and there is a submenu with all frames. Changing terminology completely in Aquamacs (frame->window, window- >pane, buffer->document, key binding -> shortcut) is not a feasible option. -- http://aquamacs.org -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X http://aquamacs.org/donate -- Could we help you?

I transferred all my files, apps and settings from my old mac using Apple's timemachine. There seems to now be a problem with Aquamacs. When I try to compile a .tex file on the new computer, I get the error: LaTeX: problem after [0] pages Is this because Aquamacs can't find LaTeX on the new machine? I tested a .tex file with TeXShop and it compiles just fine so the problem is not with latex. There must be some setting in Aquamacs that needs tweeking but I can't figure out which one. Does anyone know how I would tell Aquamacs where to find latex? I guess it's a matter of setting the right path somewhere... Or is this problem of a different nature? Thanks!

I've made some progress, but it's still not fully working yet. I think that most of the problems are related to preview-latex being able to find the programs it needs. As mentioned before, I had to modify PATH in my .emacs so that AUCTeX could find latex, gs, and their friends. However, it seems that this doesn't fix preview-latex. I had to set preview-gs-command to the full path (/usr/local/bin/gs) to make it work. Not sure how I missed this before. Two issues remain: 1) Running preview-document still fails with the "LaTeX found no preview images" error. However, preview-buffer, preview-section, etc. work fine. 2) If I switch AUCTeX to use PDFLaTeX (C-c C-t C-p) I get a GhostScript errors for all of the places where I should see preview-images. I've attached a sample error at the end of this message. I think the relevant line is "Error: /typecheck in --setmatrix--" but I know very little about GS. I can live without PDFLaTeX for the moment, but eventually I'd like to get it working. It turns out that doc-view suffers from the same problems with the PATH. I also had to specify the full paths to all the executables needed by doc-view to make it work. I'm running Panther 10.5.5 on an Intel Mac.

This might be another error caused by a too old version of Ghostscript. I think version 8.61 is up-to-date. The PATH problem you mentioned is *not* the real cause. That it's not correctly set might cause other problems. You should "customise" files in /etc with elevated privileges that the TeX binaries are found and also those programmes installed in /usr/local/bin.

After I had sent my Mac to sleep I cannot create previews when the LaTeX buffer is in PDF mode. It works when I put it into DVI mode. It fails when the region contains one mathematical expression and also when it contains a few of them. The created PDF files, _region_.pdf, are always correct (sometimes a bit clipped), as TeXShop shows. Actually a second Emacs.app (launched as "/Applications/Emacs.app/ Contents/MacOS/Emacs -l ~/.emacs-init.el -Q --debug-init &" where ~/.emacs-init.el contains some customisation) shows the same behaviour. Do both Emacsen communicate which each other? It's strange ... I don't see gs fail. Never. -- Greetings Pete There are three types of people in this world: those who can count, and those who cannot.
