Emacs on multiple monitors

Alas it seems there no decent way to have this but you can open a new frame. C-x 5 2 or File->New Frame

Coding TCL in Emacs

2012-01-18 00:00:00 +0000

This is just a quick post. At work I’m having to do a lot of TCL development and having recently become a convert to Emacs I obviously want to use it for everything!

The shortcuts are a bugger to remember so I thought I’d dump them here so I know where I can find them.

From http://www.rgrjr.com/emacs/advanced.html#tcl-mode

Commands:

M-x tcl-mode M-x inferior-tcl (C-c C-t in a Tcl source buffer) Tcl editing:

C-c TAB (tcl-help-on-word) C-c C-c (comment-region) Tcl editing support for inferior Tcl:

C-c C-t (inferior-tcl) creates one. C-c C-s (switch-to-tcl) switches to the inferior Tcl process buffer (but does not create one). C-c C-x (tcl-eval-region) C-M-x or C-c C-v (tcl-eval-defun) C-c C-f (tcl-load-file) loads a Tcl file into the inferior Tcl process

Awesome! The eval region has to be the thing I love most from writing lis pin emacs so its great to have it for TCL.

Anyhoo thats all!

Browsing remote servers with eshell

2012-01-18 00:00:00 +0000

As a budding Emacs nerd I’m looking at replacing my current awesome terminal emulator Terminator (it’s in the Ubuntu repos) with a shell within emacs.

I had a play with eshell and it worked well, but I wanted to be able to use a feature called find-file-at-point which opens the file your cursor is currently over in the buffer.

Turns out this is pretty damn easy: cd /ssh:username@servername:/path/you/want

Hit return, type in your password and you in!
