What I have so far is alias em="open -a /Applications/Emacs.app "$@" && osascript -e 'tell application "Emacs.app" to activate'" But I am stumped. With that code, em file.txt will activate, but won't open the file . And I get '22:23: syntax error: Expected end of line but found unknown token. (-2741)' Doing alias em=open -a /Applications/Emacs.app "$@" Works fine and then it will open the file, but obviously not bring emacs to the front. And for some strange reason osascript -e 'tell application "Emacs.app" to activate' doesn't activate emacs.... I have no idea what is going on. I am happy to

I'm using Emacs as an editor. I want to set the tab size to four spaces. In my .emacs file I have the following: (setq default-tab-width 4) I've also tried: (set-default tab-width 4) Either way, when I open emacs and try to tab, it inserts two spaces. Am I doing something wrong? It almost seems like its not seeing my .emacs file. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks! The tab-width variable doesn't determine the amount of indenting per level, and the TAB key doesn't insert a tab: it indents the current line to the correct indentation level in most language modes.

Suppose I have a source file open and I launch a shell. I can hit C-x o to switch between the two buffers. But how can I get it so that when I move the mouse the buffer under the mouse gets focus, just like the "focus follows mouse" option common in window managers?

I tried out Sublime Text 2 recently, and I found Goto Anything superbly useful for navigating source code ( Ctrl-P file@symbol seems to work really well). Is there something similar for Emacs? Preferably something that just works, without a ton of custom elisp. What I've tried so far: I've seen Helm and Anything , but as far as I understand neither of them is capable of actual "instant" search (see edit below). I've used multi-occur-in-matching-buffers , but it too seems unable to satisfy the "instant" criterion. imenu / idomenu works well for single files, but doesn't work across files. I
