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
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
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!
