Back to emacs
May 2, 2008 by kapilt
after a pair coding session with malthe borch, i decided to give emacs a more determined effort. first i culled my .emacs of a bunch of items that i had picked up from people over the years ( i think originally got most of it from jim fulton, and Ken Manheimer. Then i started hunting for emacs modes to customize my environment, i found a few cool modes to emulate the textmate tricks i picked up.
yasnippet - http://code.google.com/p/yasnippet/ the power of textmate snippets in emacs!
select word function, from the helpful folks at on the #emacs channel
[11:44] consolers hazmat: (defun hazmat-select-word () (interactive) (kill-new (thing-at-point ‘word)))
[11:45] consolers then you can M-x hazmat-select-word or (global-set-key <your favourite keybinding> ‘hazmat-select-word)
i also checked out the python-mode svn, which revealed a pycomplete mode! for basic python completion. rockin. i integrated in pyflakes via flyweight mode for on the fly syntax checking.
for good measure i also added in, ido-mode, which gives nice completion for buffers/files ( built in to emacs) although anything.el also looks intriguing.
