The way I know to auto-import using rope is to move my cursor to the name I want to import and do M-x rope-auto-import. I'd like to bind rope-auto-import to a keyboard shortcut to make this faster.
Figured it out:
Add the following line to my .emacs file:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") 'rope-auto-import)
M-x load-file RET ~/.emacs RET

How is it possible to avoid emacs to add new blank lines while pressing the down arrow at the end of the file?
Also, if it can help, I had to re-customize
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<up>") 'backward-paragraph)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<down>") 'forward-paragraph)
because this default behavior did not work.
I have GNU Emacs 24.3.1.
Just set the next-line-add-newlines to a false value:
(setq next-line-add-newlines nil)
(or remove the line that sets it to t).
I want to set up my .emacs so that when I am in my *scheme* buffer I can bind RET to C-x C-e (because I use C-j for newlines). I get to the scheme buffer like this:
M-x load-library RET xscheme RET note - how can I automate that step?
M-x run-scheme
Here's what I tried, it doesn't work:
(eval-after-load 'xscheme
'(define-key scheme-mode-map
(kbd "RET")
'advertised-xscheme-send-previous-expression))
Seems strange to bind it like that.
Here's how it's done in Emacs 24.4:
(eval-after-load 'cmuscheme
(define-key inferior-scheme-mode-map
(kbd "RET") 'scheme-send-last-sexp))
As a novice Emacs user (I'm about 3 months into what's probably a lifelong journey), I make changes to my .emacs file pretty regularly. It would be handy to have a global key binding to reload .emacs rather than go through the incredibly laborious process of M-x load-file (delete a long string if I'm deep into some directory) ~/.emacs <RET>. I've attempted a solution, but
;; reload .emacs when C-c <f12> is pressed
(defun reload-dotemacs ()
(load-file "~/.emacs"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c <f12>")
(lambda() (interactive) 'reload-dotemacs))
doesn't seem to work. Basically, when I enter the key combination, nothing happens, whereas trying M-x load-file ~/.emacs makes things happen (e.g. I see my yasnippet files reload).
For the record, C-c <f12> doesn't seem to be bound to anything else.
Fix for your code
(defun reload-dotemacs ()
(interactive)
(load-file "~/.emacs"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c <f12>") 'reload-dotemacs)
You do not need it 1
You do not need to remove the default string when you do M-x load-file RET - just type ~/.emacs.el RET and it will work.
You do not need it 2
Do not reload the init file, just evaluate the new code.
Type C-h m and C-h b in the .emacs.el buffer and you will see the useful keybindings (after searching for eval):
C-c C-b eval-current-buffer
C-c C-r eval-region
C-M-x eval-defun
C-j eval-print-last-sexp
C-x C-e eval-last-sexp
When using python-mode in Emacs, I first split the screen via C-x 3.
I'd like to be able do C-c ! to launch py-shell in the other window, not in the window currently active. How can I configure Emacs to do that without having to switch windows with C-x o before launching the shell?
I'm using Emacs 24.3.1, and I've got all my configuration files in ~/.emacs.d.
I just installed the python-mode package using package-install with the Marmalade repository, and I haven't yet edited any .el file related to python-mode.
As #BleedingFingers says you can simply use a macro and bind that to a key. It's up to you whether or not you want to re-use the C-c ! binding for the macro or bind it to a different key.
Here's how to proceed should you decide to go with the macro option, starting with Emacs showing only a single window:
Define macro
F3
C-x 3
C-x o
M-x py-shell RET
C-x o
F4
Assign name to macro
M-x name-last-kbd-macro RET py-shell-other-window RET
You can replace py-shell-other-window with whatever name you would like to use for the macro.
Add macro to your configuration
Open your configuration file, move point (cursor) to an empty line and do
M-x insert-kbd-macro RET
This will insert the macro definition into your configuration file.
Bind macro to key
Add the following code to your configuration file to bind the macro to a key in python-mode:
(require 'python-mode) ; Make sure python-mode-map is available
; for modification
(define-key python-mode-map (kbd "C-c !") nil) ; Unset default binding
; for C-c !
; (not necessary if you choose an
; unused binding)
(define-key python-mode-map (kbd "C-c !") 'py-shell-other-window) ; Bind macro to C-c !
Turn key binding on
Mark the lines added in the previous step and run M-x eval-region RET, or simply restart Emacs.
Celebrate :)
Advice lets you redefine code in other libraries on-the-fly.
(defadvice py-shell (around auto-split activate)
(split-window-right)
(other-window)
,ad-do-it
(other-window))
Variations apply.
I haven't been able to locate any examples of how to use global-set-key in conjunction with M-x color-theme-<TAB> RET. I've tried several variations, but to no avail. Is it possible to insert a tab at the end of color-theme?
(global-set-key "\C-ct" 'color-theme<TAB><RET>)
This keyboard shortcut pulls up a similar screen that can be clicked with a mouse.
(global-set-key (kbd "<f5>") 'color-theme-select)
On a related note:
Aquamacs 2.4 disables the color-theme menubar entry under tools. So if anyone wants to enable it, then insert this into the Preferences.el or init.el (if you have one):
(easy-menu-add-item nil color-theme-entry-path "--")
(easy-menu-add-item nil color-theme-entry-path
["Color Themes" color-theme-select t])
Aquamacs 2.4 already has this somewhere else in its initialization:
(require 'easymenu)
Alternatively, the user can remove the ;; from /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/aquamacs/color-theme.el at lines 513 to 516.
