Wrong encoding when pasting into emacs - emacs

I'm trying to paste accented characters (eg: á, é, í) into Emacs but here's what I get:
When I paste into some other editor, like Vim, it works fine. I already tried putting this in my init.el
(setq utf-translate-cjk-mode nil)
(set-language-environment 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq x-select-request-type '(UTF8_STRING COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING))
but didn't seem to help. Any ideas?
EDIT: Forgot to mention, my OS is Arch Linux and the system encoding is also UTF-8.
EDIT2: Firstly I thought this was an encoding problem, but I found it's actually related to evil-mode. This only happens when I'm using "+p of evil

C-c C-c does not work anymore to compile a tex under Emacs

I just upgraded my Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04.
When I edited .tex file under 12.04, I have set up my Emacs in such a way that C-c C-c launched automatically Latex, View or BibTex according to the circumstance. Consequently, I just needed to keep pressing C-c C-c to compile and view a simple .tex file. A part of the ~/.emacs file is as follows:
(require 'server)
(or (server-running-p)
(server-start))
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'TeX-PDF-mode)
(defun pdf-with-okular ()
(add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
(quote ("^pdf$" "." "okular %o %(outpage)"))))
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'pdf-with-okular t)
(setq TeX-view-program-list '(("Okular" "okular %o")))
(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "Okular") (output-dvi "Okular")))
(eval-after-load "tex"
'(setcdr (assoc "LaTeX" TeX-command-list)
'("%`%l%(mode) -shell-escape%' %t"
TeX-run-TeX nil (latex-mode doctex-mode) :help "Run LaTeX")))
(custom-set-variables
'(LaTeX-command "latex -synctex=1")
'(cua-mode t nil (cua-base))
'(show-paren-mode t)
'(tool-bar-mode nil))
After upgrading, this mechanism does not work anymore: C-c C-c launches Command [pdflatex], and if I just press Enter, it could not find the .tex file.
Does anyone know what is wrong?
It sounds like the command you expect to be bound to C-c C-c is not -- some other command is.
C-h m tells you what mode you are in, and some things about it. C-h k C-c C-c tells you what command is bound to C-c C-c, and it gives you a link to the library where that command is defined.
This info, together with your init file and the Lisp source code, will help you find out why C-c C-c is not bound to the command you expect.
And you might want to start your search by bisecting your init file, to narrow it down to the code that causes the problem.
In sum, the answer is to ask Emacs first.
The command that you describe comes from the AUCTeX extension, which replaces the built-in LaTeX mode of Emacs. It appears that AUCTeX was not properly upgraded or removed from your system, so you are back to the built-in mode, which is pretty primitive compared to AUCTeX.
Check whether AUCTeX is still available in your Emacs session (e.g. M-x locate-library RET auctex). Also, check whether the AUCTeX package is still installed, and reinstall it if necessary.
Alternatively, you can obtain AUCTeX from GNU ELPA with Emacs' built-in package manager, which makes your Emacs setup independent from your system.

can't find any symbol in common lisp in emacs with slime

According to the guide on the Internet, we can search in the HyperSpec for the symbol like "format" in emacs by typing C-c C-d h , However, I just cannot have it work, emacs just prompts that there's no completion for the symbol. Can somebody cope with it? thanks in advance!
Are you actually using the Slime REPL mode? Sometimes, when starting Slime without any configuration, you're not getting the REPL mode, and instead you'll be sitting in the *inferior-lisp* buffer.
First of all, check what the title of the buffer is. If it's *inferior-lisp*, it's not the correct one. It should read *slime-repl sbcl* (where sbcl refers to the CL implementation you're using).
If this is the case, then you need to make sure you enable slime-fancy in your Emacs init file. This is what I have:
(defun init-slime-configuration ()
(slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-fuzzy))
(setq slime-load-failed-fasl 'never)
(define-key slime-repl-mode-map (kbd "C-<tab>") 'slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol)
(define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "C-<tab>") 'slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol))
(add-hook 'slime-load-hook 'init-slime-configuration)
This also allows me to use C-TAB for fuzzy expand.
I ran into this very problem after switching from the version of SLIME installed using Quicklisp (version 2.9) to that installed from MELPA (version 20141010.1357, as a dependency of ac-slime).
Using SLIME from Quicklisp worked fine with my local copy of the HyperSpec, using the settings:
(require 'slime-autoloads)
(add-to-list 'slime-contribs 'slime-fancy)
(setq slime-lisp-implementations
'((ccl ("ccl"))
(clisp ("clisp"))
(cmucl ("cmucl"))
(ecl ("ecl"))
(sbcl ("sbcl"))))
(setq slime-default-lisp 'sbcl)
(setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root "file:/usr/share/doc/HyperSpec/")
(setq common-lisp-hyperspec-symbol-table "file:/usr/share/doc/HyperSpec/Data/Map_Sym.txt")
I then completely removed and reinstalled Quicklisp (without reinstalling SLIME!), then installed ac-slime from MELPA using the Emacs package manager.
By chance I happened to notice that when I tried to lookup documentation in the HyperSpec, Emacs opened a hidden buffer with an empty file named "Map_Sym.txt" in it.
Looking at the full pathname of this file using C-h v buffer-file-name [RET] revealed that it was set to "/home/miki/file:/usr/share/doc/HyperSpec/Data/Map_Sym.txt".
As an experiment, I tried removing the "file:/" from the last two lines of my settings, to make them read:
(setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root "/usr/share/doc/HyperSpec/")
(setq common-lisp-hyperspec-symbol-table "/usr/share/doc/HyperSpec/Data/Map_Sym.txt")
It appears to have resolved the issue. Why this works, I don't know (it differs from the documentation). A bug or undocumented change, maybe?

Symbol's function definition is void: x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value

Just installed Emacs 24 under Windows 7
Getting the following error when trying to cut & paste (kill & yank) within emacs, e.g.
C-k, C-y
to kill a line and copy it somewhere else:
Symbol's function definition is void: x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value
I have commented out the following from my .emacs and restarted emacs but error remains:
;; get copy and paste to work between emacs and other windows
;; (setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
;; (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value)
I have no similar problems using emacs 24 with the same .emacs file under linux
I have done an initial googel trawl but all the information I found suggest the bug has been fixed already which isn't much help
Unfortunately, this is making emacs unusable under windows for me
UPDATE
this line doesn't seem to be causing the problem:
;; get copy and paste to work between emacs and other windows
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
however these lines do:
;; this line causes cut/paste errors under windows (emacs 24)
;; (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value)
;; this alternative fixes windows problems but causes errors under linux (emacs 24)
(setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-selection-value)
I have had a go at making my .emacs platform conditional, e.g.:
;; this line causes cut/paste errors under windows (emacs 24)
(if (eq system-type 'gnu-linux) (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value) )
;; (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value)
;; this alternative causes errors under linux (emacs 24)
(if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-selection-value) )
;;(setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-selection-value)
this fixes the problem but this seems like a bit of a kludge...
The variable name changed in EMACS 24:
current-kill: Symbol's function definition is void: x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value
Open your .emacs and change:
'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value)
to:
(setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-selection-value)
I found the answer in this posting:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-09/msg00638.html
How does Emacs behave if you didn't customize at all? i.e. start with
emacs -Q
?
I don't have Windows machine in front of me, but there nothing in my config that's Windows specific for cut/paste, and I never had any problems with 24, although I haven't tried the stable release yet.

Emacs auto-complete mode for Groovy?

Is there a Groovy compatible auto-complete mode for emacs?
I also was not able to find a keyword dictionary that I can use with emacs autocomplete.
Help would be much appreciated.
AFAIK there is no working (intelligent) auto-complete for Groovy. If you are inclined to a bit of hacking, the easiest way to achieving this would be to modify emacs-eclim (an Emacs package for talking to Eclipse) to work with the Eclipse Groovy plugin. Shouldn't be that bad, as there is existing code for working with Eclipse Java that you could use as scaffolding.
HTH and sorry :(
I have 'hacked' both emacs-eclim and Eclim to get code completion, not pretty or feature-complete, good enough for few hours of work.
1. Notes:
Code completion is supported, but it is slow with auto-complete-mode sometimes, especially when completion is triggered automatically. I use TAB to start the autocomplete popup and ALT-TAB for the completions buffer, if I'm looking up all possible completions.
Source update for issues reporting is supported but not fully accurate. As you save the buffer an incremental build is performed and the errors report is available (Problems via C-c C-e o.
If using auto-complete, set the following:
(ac-set-trigger-key "TAB")
(setq ac-auto-start nil)
2. Installation
git clone https://github.com/yveszoundi/eclim
cd eclim && ant -Declipse.home=YOUR_ECLIPSE_FOLDER
git clone https://github.com/yveszoundi/emacs-eclim
Add emacs-eclim folder to your load-path
3. Sample Emacs configuration via use-package and ELPA.
If you don't use use-package, adapt as needed...
(use-package eclim
:ensure emacs-eclim // overwrite ELPA install with my copy
:init (setq help-at-pt-display-when-idle t
eclimd-default-workspace "~/Documents/workspace/"
help-at-pt-timer-delay 0.1)
:config (progn (help-at-pt-set-timer)
(mapc #'require '(eclimd auto-complete-config))
(ac-config-default)
(add-hook 'groovy-mode-hook 'auto-complete-mode)
(require 'ac-emacs-eclim-source)
(ac-emacs-eclim-config)
(defun ers/eclim-run-class ()
(interactive)
(beginning-of-buffer)
(search "class ")
(forward-word)
(eclim-run-class))
(bind-keys :map eclim-mode-map
("C-c C-e l m" . eclim-manage-projects)
("C-c C-e l r" . ers/eclim-run-class)
("C-c C-e l c" . garbage-collect)
("C-c C-e l b" . eclim-project-build))
(add-hook 'groovy-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(remove 'ac-source-clang 'ac-sources)
(eclim-mode t)))
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(remove 'ac-source-clang 'ac-sources)
(eclim-mode t)))))

emacs setup for both clojure and common lisp with slime-fancy (slime-autodoc)

I set up emacs for both clojure and common lisp, but I want also (slime-setup '(slime-fancy)) for common lisp. If I add that line to init.el, clojure won't work: it gives me repl, but it hangs after I run any code.
My configuration
For clojure:
I set up clojure-mode, slime, slime-repl via ELPA
I run $ lein swank in project directory
Then M-x slime-connect to hack clojure
For common lisp I place this after ELPA code in init.el:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/slime")
(require 'slime)
(add-to-list 'slime-lisp-implementations '(sbcl ("/opt/local/bin/sbcl") :coding-system utf-8-unix))
;; (slime-setup '(slime-fancy))
So if I uncomment the last line, clojure will be broken. But slime-fancy a very important meta package for hacking common lisp.
Is there a way to set them both up to work without changing configuration and restarting when I need to switch languages?
Update
I found that slime-autodoc loaded with slime-fancy is the cause of hangs.
(slime-setup '(slime-fancy))
(setq slime-use-autodoc-mode nil)
This configuration lets run both common lisp and clojure SLIMEs. Even simultaneously. But without slime-autodoc.
I also found I'm using the CVS version of SLIME since I manually do (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/slime") after ELPA code. That does not solve the problem. Maybe there is a version from some magic date which works with clojure? Here a guy says CVS version works for him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf_xI3fZdIg&feature=player_detailpage#t=221s
Here is a solution. (using hooks)
That is ugly but quite convenient.
(add-hook 'slime-connected-hook
(lambda ()
(if (string= (slime-lisp-implementation-type) "Clojure")
(setq slime-use-autodoc-mode nil)
(setq slime-use-autodoc-mode t))
))
(add-hook 'slime-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(if (eq major-mode 'clojure-mode)
(slime-autodoc-mode 0)
(slime-autodoc-mode 1))))
Update
If the problem still exists on the slime-repl buffer, try the following code:
(add-hook 'slime-repl-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(if (string= (slime-lisp-implementation-type) "Clojure")
(progn (setq slime-use-autodoc-mode nil)
(slime-autodoc-mode 0))
(progn (setq slime-use-autodoc-mode t)
(slime-autodoc-mode 1)))))
I've been contemplating on the same problem recently. The issue is that the SLIME in ELPA is trimmed down and is next to useless for Common Lisp. One way you can circumvent the problem is to check out SLIME from CVS from the same date as the checkout was done for the ELPA package and add manually the missing stuff. Someone on #clojure told me he did that and the solution worked.
I personally find such a solution pretty ugly, but until someone manages to get the Clojure support into upstream SLIME there won't be a better one.
Alternatively you can add features to the slime-setup one by one and see what feature exactly is causing the problem with the Clojure evaluation - after all slime-fancy is simply a metafeature that just loads the most popular contrib features.
Btw you don't need the lines
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/slime/contrib")
(setq slime-backend "~/.elisp/slime/swank-loader.lisp")
(require 'slime)
The contrib dir will be added automatically to the load path, the back-end is the default and if you're using 'slime-autoloads you should require slime before that, since this defeats the purpose of the autoload.
