When running into a deadlock because of an infinite loop, how can I exit from the cider-repl?
When it happens, I have to kill the emacs, or even reboot my computer to kill the cider-repl. Is there a better way of solving this?
The key combination C-c C-c will break from a loop at the top level of the cider repl, while leaving emacs and the repl running.
In a regular terminal repl, the equivalent is C-c.
When you're editing a file and have 'jacked-into' a cider repl, by default typing C-c C-c runs cider-eval-defun-at-point, but typing C-c C-b runs cider-interrupt, which cancels whatever is being evaluated.

I have run into issues using the emacs server started when I log in and emacsclient. Specifically, I use the same emacs server for different R projects things get ugly and commands from different projects end up going to the same R session.
My work around is to invoke a second server with /usr/bin/emacs --daemon=Rmd-1 when I log in. I have a bash script written such that the first .Rmd file I work with attaches to this daemon and then the command /usr/bin/emacs --daemon=Rmd-2 is issued. If I end up working with a second .Rmd file, then this server is used and a third server is started with /usr/bin/emacs --daemon=Rmd-3 and ready to work with another .Rmd file if needed.
This works pretty well except for one thing. Because after many years I am hard wired to end my emacs session using C-x C-c by the end of the day I have many emacs servers running. I'm looking for a way to trigger save-buffers-kill-emacs when the C-x C-c command is given in an emacsclient running on a daemon matching "Rmd-[0-9]+". I can't see any emacsclient options that would do that and I'm at a loss as to how to edit my custom.el file.
Can some one help me?
(note I'm running GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.30) on Ubuntu 22.04)
Drawing on McNisse's suggestion, adding the following to my personal.el file seems to give me the desired behavior.
;; Remap C-c C-x if daemon name matches "Rmd-[0-9]+"
;;
(cond
((string-prefix-p "Rmd-" (daemonp))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-c") 'save-buffers-kill-emacs)
)
)
Invoking 'shell' by M-x shell,
and plan to start a tmux session
it report errors
$ tmux
open terminal failed: terminal does not support clear
What's the problem?
If invoking `ansi-term', the operations of yanking and pasting are invalid.
So, shell perform better than ansi-term in routines.
How could activate tmux within a shell
tmux needs a real terminal, and shell doesn't provide that (as implied by the error you get). So you need to use term with tmux.
Or you can use built in functionality of Emacs to have features of tmux. E.g. C-x 2 and C-x 3 will split the frame into windows so you can have multiple terminals in a frame (an Emacs frame is what most applications would call a window). Start an emacs server and emacsclient to have sessions that you can connect to and keep running after you close the frame.
Copy (M-w) and paste (S-<insert>) should work by default. If you want to play with bindings, the key map is called term-raw-map and the commands are kill-ring-save and term-paste.
Also learn the difference between term-line-mode (C-c C-j) and term-char-mode (C-c C-k). Briefly, line mode behaves more like shell, and char mode behaves more like a real terminal, with most Emacs keybindings unavailable. I personally keep term buffers in char mode almost always and add some keybindings to term-raw-map so I can run certain Emacs commands.
In ABCL, during development I sometimes get runaway functions. I want to be able to stop execution and return to top level LISP without killing the LISP/JVM process (in my emacs shell) and losing my current LISP environment.
I've tried various control keys (e.g., Control-C, Control-D,...) but at best end up killing LISP or the JVM.
;;; How to stop this function and return to LISP interactive
;;; without killing lisp...?
(defun runaway ()
(let ((result nil))
(dotimes (count 10 result)
(sleep 2)
(print count))))

Try using Emacs with Slime instead, because Slime does not kill the process but interrupt the thread and enters the debugger if you press C-c C-c.
You should probably add an executable script abcl.sh somewhere in your PATH, as follows:
#!/bin/sh
exec java -jar .../abcl/abcl-bin-1.5.0/abcl.jar
You have to replace ... with your own path to abcl.jar.
Then, from Emacs, you should be able to start it.
Do C-u M-x slime to force the slime command to prompt for an executable, and give abcl.sh to it. It should start the process and connect to it using the Slime protocol.
My environment:
OS: Linux CentOS 7 (x86_64)
PostgreSQL version: 10.5
Emacs 26.1
I use Emacs as the external editor in postgresql (set in my EDITOR environment variable). So whenever I type in psql shell, \e it opens Emacs where I can write/modify queries, views, functions, etc.
If I understand correctly, once Emacs is open, when I enter C-x C-s, that is, I save and then I quit C-x C-c, the content edited in Emacs is transferred to the query buffer to be parsed and executed (assuming it contains semicolon at the end). So basically each time I have to run \e then edit, then save and quit the editor to get the job done.
Now, given that I use Emacs for multiple programming languages, I've rather a big init file. As a result, it takes several seconds to start Emacs (both in -nw and GUI mode). Obviously this is quite annoying given the number of times that I have to open and quit the editor while I'm using \e in psql.
So my question is: Is there any way to let the external editor remain open and continue working with the same editor for further queries and somehow decide to transfer the result to query buffer without needing to quit the editor?
Run emacsclient instead of emacs. I have a script at ~/bin/editor:
#!/bin/sh
exec emacsclient -c -a '' "$#"
And then I set export EDITOR=$HOME/bin/editor in my ~/.bashrc.
The upshot is you only start Emacs once, and every time you run $EDITOR, it just attaches to the same Emacs session.
Also, I do
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-c") #'delete-frame)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-S-c") #'save-buffers-kill-emacs)
so C-x C-c just deletes the frame instead of killing Emacs.
Just save the query to a temporary file, for example /tmp/q.sql and run \i /tmp/q.sql from psql multiple times from a second terminal.
Inspired by Git as when you type "git commit", it opens an Emacs or Vim session for you. I'm writing an Erlang escript, and I want it to open an Emacs session at the end of the execution of the escript. I've tried
os:cmd("emacs -nw file.txt")
but it doesn't seem to work. Evaluating the above command within the Erlang shell yields
"emacs: standard input is not a tty\n"
One way to do this is to keep an Emacs running with server mode (put (server-mode) in your ~/.emacs), and call emacsclient instead of emacs from Erlang. That will open the file in the existing Emacs session. emacsclient exits and returns control to your Erlang program once you hit C-x # in Emacs.
