emacs24

I am trying to use Emacs 24.2 with Tramp on windows 7 to remotely edit files on a linux server. I installed the Putty suit program and OpenSSH. I also placed the plink.exe in the putty suit into the bin folder under the emacs 24 folder, and added the folder emacs24/bin into the PATH environment variable. However, when I try to access the remote file from emacs with the command in the minibuffer: /username@host:filename, I get the following error message from emacs: plink is not recognized as an internal or external command. It seems that emacs cannot find the plink program. But, when I try to

I have CEDET working for the most part on emacs 24.2 with the latest from bzr repository. When I am searching for symbols or definitions, I see that the cedet mini-buffer shows parses through a lot of files, some that are not there as header-files, the files do not have any reference to the symbols I am searching. I will leave CEDET to its job, let it search for symbols as it sees fit. Is there any debug mechanism or verbose mode that I can turn on to see 1) What are all the files it is searching. 2) If it has found the GTAGS file at the base of my project. I understand that CEDET only

I'm using emacs24.0.92 with IPython 12. I took ipython.el file from IPython repository and also tried this patch however auto-completion still does not work for me. Can someone give any hint about it ? That's an old question but since I was looking for it: 1- python-mode.el A quick search lead me to this working solution: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PythonProgrammingInEmacs#toc5 2- jedi You still can use the completion given by jedi.el : http://jedi.jedidjah.ch/en/latest/ http://wikemacs.org/index.php/Python#Jedi http://aliquote.org/memos/2013/02/11/emacs-auto-completion-for-python Install

What is the equivalent of a python dictionary like {'a':1, 'b':2} in elisp? And again, does elisp have any map-reduce api? Association lists are the most commonly used associative containers in elisp. It is just a list of key-value cons cells like this ((key . value)) . You can use the assoc function to get a value corresponding to a key and rassoc to get a key with the required value. Elisp comes with the built-in function mapcar which does map, but AFAIK there is no good fold facility. You could emulate it using any of the looping facilities provided. However, the better solution is to use

Emacs 24 now has lexically-scoped variables. It also still has dynamically-scoped variables, of course. Now that it has both, I'm quite confused about when a variable will have which kind of scope. There's a lexical-binding variable that controls when lexical binding is enabled, and I think I read something about defvar now declaring a dynamically-scoped variable, but in general I'm pretty lost. Is there a good explanation somewhere of Emacs 24's new scoping rules? Or put another way, when I look at a variable in Emacs Lisp code written for Emacs 24, how do I tell what scope that variable is

I'd like to remove several packages that I've installed. When I invoke package-list-packages , I notice that there is a ' d ' (mark for deletion) command and an ' x ' (execute). However, it seems like this simply removes the package name/description from the list and not the actual files under ~/.emacs.d/elpa . What am I doing wrong or missing? Surely there must be some way to remove installed packages. Ted Feng The command package-menu-mark-delete (key 'd') followed by package-menu-execute (key 'x') worked for me. Also here is very good introduction: Package management in emacs - The good,
