My noteworthy hacking around GNU emacs
see:
Things I had to change to migrate from
GNU Emacs 21.4.22 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, Motif Version 2.2.3) of 2005-10-16 on linux11
to cvs
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.71 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) of 2005-11-29 on linux11
in site-start.el i defined emacs-22
(defconst emacs-22
(string-match "^22\.*" emacs-version))
- minibuffer-preferred-syntax-table cannot be nil -> needs (make-syntax-table)
- grep-program vs. grep-command
- add-to-list 'font-lock-keywords is now inacceptable and font-lock-mode-hook triggers on switching off!
Problems related to auto-loading:
with all packages installed by gentoo system, i found some new conflicts. I had to edit the gentoo system files,
which define auto-loads to disable them.
Outline
Transient mark mode
After 10 years of using Emacs, i'm still no great friend of this mode. But,
- I want to select a region in a buffer. So I set a mark. Then start searching for the end. After some moves, i decide to use isearch. But that means a
mark is set implicitely, and I lose (my previous mark). So, one of possible solutions (to avoid that implicit mark setting), is to use
transient-mark-mode. Is there any other way (besides using a bookmark/register)?
- select messages in region in Gnus.
