See functions, classes, or methods in Emacs console mode - emacs

I use emacs in the console mode. Is there a mode that is like speedbar for browsing functions, classes, or methods?
Thanks

There is SrSpeedbar, which is a
mode [to] make SpeedBar show in [the] Current Frame
(source: emacswiki.org)
SrSpeedbar can be installed via MELPA, or manually using the elisp on EmacsWiki.

Text Zoom in putty emacs

I'm currently using Emacs 23.1 on a remote server through putty. I would like to be able to zoom out (so I can view all my code when needed). I've tried several methods and none of them have worked.
Text-scale-decrease and text-scale-increase give no errors but don't change the text size
The zoom-frm plugin tells me that "symbol's function definition is void: query-fontset" when I attempt to use any of its methods (all dependencies listed are installed)
The doremi-frm plugin either gives no errors and does nothing, or complains about face-remap (depending on what function is used)
I'm wondering at this point if zoom is possible within putty, and if so how do I get it to work properly.
P.S. Opening a remote X11 session with the Emacs GUI is not an option.
Thanks.
You need to config putty instead.
Open putty, then right click > Change Settings > Window > Fonts on the left panel to change font size.
What Emacs are you using? You say Emacs 23.1, but that has `query-fontset' (as do also older and more recent Emacs versions, from GNU Emacs 20 to the latest GNU Emacs 24 dev build).
Likewise, GNU Emacs 23.1 has face-remap' and all of its relatives,face-remap-*'.
I can't answer the putty questions, but can you check in some other way whether Emacs at the remote end actually zooms OK using any of the methods you describe? IOW, try to remove putty from the equation, to see what happens.

emacs gud window use

How do I customize which window GUD will use when i issue commands - 'up', 'down', etc ? It seems to use an arbitrary window, sometimes even the window with gdb in it - I want to be able to specify a specific window to be used.
Have you considered borrowing the key bindings mentioned in the following question?
Emacs, switch to previous window
This question implies that GUD steps on some things if you don't add a parameter. Maybe your command bindings are being affected similiarly.
Using gdb in Emacs 23
I asked a buddy of mine about this issue and here is what he said.
Well, we used xemacs and so it's not exactly apples to apples here. I
do have gnu-emacs installed on cygwin and I can't replicate his
problem. I think he definitely needs to list a version # for emacs
and the version # for all his installed packages.
When you press up/down it calls 'previous-line' and 'next-line'
respectively which both move the cursor in the default buffer. The
only thing I can think is that he has something running that switches
buffers (lisp 'set-buffer') temporarily and maybe doesn't set it back
or errors b/f restoring the buffer? Better to use
'with-current-buffer' (or one of the other with-* forms) that saves
the current state of the ui runs your lisp code and restores the ui
state.

Show tabs for buffers in carbon emacs?

How can I get a tabbed interface in carbon emacs which corresponds to one-tab-per-buffer similar to Aquaemacs(http://aquamacs.org/)?
In fact you can take tabbar.el from Aquaemacs. It is not guaranteed to work with any other emacs variant but I'm lucky for Windows and Mac (Carbon and Cocoa). So it should work for you too.
You can read more at EmacsWiki .
My configuration is simply:
(require 'tabbar)
(tabbar-mode 1)
Additionally I've got some colors modifications. Please read EmacsWiki for more details. (search for tabbar)

Emacs outline view possible in CC mode?

I'm an Eclipse addict trying to get more comfortable with Emacs for C code. Is there a way to get an outline view of a C file, similar to the view on the right of the image below, in Emacs in CC mode?
(source: eclipse.org)
Check out ECB, the Emacs Code Browser.
Definitely check out Speedbar. That will make a new Emacs frame that can be used as an outline. If you want something in the same frame, check out Sr Speedbar.
ECB is an integration tool that uses Speedbar anyways. It offers a lot more functionality though - the file browser with VC integration is particularly nice IMO. All in all I think that if one needs to make Emacs look more like Eclipse he needs ECB.
Take a look at Speedbar, which will provide this kind of functionality in any mode that has imenu support (including C).

Icons in dired mode for Emacs

I would like to use the dired mode of emacs as my file browser. I am very much addicted to see an icon for file/folder rather that to see the extension and color. The icons give me a very quick visual feedback. I have searched the web for display of icons in dired but found none. So I wonder whether it is even possible to do this and if yes how?
To put my question clearly
How can I display icons for files and folders in dired mode of Emacs?
all-the-icons-dired is a more current solution. Another option that looks quite nice is to use treemacs-icons-dired
I just switched to treemacs-icons-dired and recommend it. Simply install the package and add a mode hook like:
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'treemacs-icons-dired-mode)
If you are using Windows, you can try dired-dispicon.el.
Get the relevant files from here.
See http://wiki.gohome.org/teranisi/?EmacsOnWindows for what it looks like. Note that you will probably need a version of emacs that supports images (e.g. for Windows you could try EmacsW32).
Use the dired-icon extension, which works for GTK (on Linux).
