I have a strange problem. When I set up my AUCTeX configuration for Latex like this
(require 'tex)
(TeX-global-PDF-mode t)
it works for me.
But when I alter the code by putting in a lambda function
(add-hook LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda ()
(require 'tex)
(TeX-global-PDF-mode t)
))
it won't work.
Could someone help me? Thank you.
Try adding a ' to the immediate left of LaTeX-mode-hook. Also, you need to (require 'tex) before using the LaTeX-mode-hook.
Because the library AUCTeX defines the variable LaTeX-mode-hook (i.e., brings it into existence), placing (require 'tex) inside a hook that does not yet exist will not work. [See line 5017 of ~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.87.3/latex.el)
(require 'tex)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda ()
(TeX-global-PDF-mode t)
))
Normally, I see this used: (setq TeX-PDF-mode t). However, the original poster is correct regarding the existence of a function named TeX-global-PDF-mode -- see line 1729 of ~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.87.3/tex.el.

Delete following line if you have in your "init.el".
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
Although the line is suggested in"auctex-reademe.txt", I think
following is more appropriate.
(load "preview" nil t t)

I have several abbrev defined that I was accessible everywhere except in latex mode. I defined
(setq-default abbrev-mode t)
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (lambda () (abbrev-mode -1)))
But whenever I open a latex file it still has abbrev mode enabled. What's going on?
Never worked with latex before, but for me the following works fine:
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.lat\\'" . latex-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq-default abbrev-mode t)
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (lambda () (abbrev-mode -1)))
M-x abbrev-mode
%Abbrev mode enabled in current buffer
Please make sure the emacs recognized your file as a latex file, the first line I wrote should do the trick.
The reason was that AUCTex uses LaTeX-mode-hook. Thanks to stefan in the comment for pointing that out
Looking to set a variable under latex mode. The idea is that the value set under latex mode will override the value of the same variable set in the customise section. I am very new to emacs so these are my attempts:
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook '(setq line-move-visual t))
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (lambda () (setq line-move-visual t)))
Why do these not work? What should I do instead?
Clarification: looking to set the variable (setq line-move-visual t) as I have it as (setq line-move-visual nil) for all other files
If you just setq the variable in your LaTeX-mode-hook it will also have an effect on any other open buffer. It is possible to make the change only effect the current buffer:
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(make-local-variable 'line-move-visual)
(setq line-move-visual nil)))
Also, please note that the hook for the default mode for LaTeX in Emacs is called latex-mode-hook but the hook when you are using the (far superior) AUCTeX is called LaTeX-mode-hook
EDIT: Changed make-variable-buffer-local to make-local-variable. See comments to this answer.
I'm trying to enable auto-complete-mode whenever a .go file is loaded through go-mode. It works if I invoke auto-complete-mode manually for Go source files, but when I tried adding it to .emacs as below, it doesn't work:
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook auto-complete-mode)
I've tried a few variations around it but none seem to work. Following is what the Go-Mode snippet currently looks like in my .emacs:
;; Load Go Mode
(require 'go-mode-load)
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook 'auto-complete-mode)
I tried creating my own hook function like this:
;; Load Go Mode
(require 'go-mode-load)
(defun auto-complete-for-go ()
(auto-complete-mode 1))
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook 'auto-complete-for-go)
I also tried including the hook in go-mode-load.el and go-mode.el, as well as calling auto-complete-mode like this:
(auto-complete-mode t)
(provide 'go-mode)
Doesn't work either way. I also added the go-mode-hook to auto-complete-default function like so:
(defun ac-config-default ()
(setq-default ac-sources '(ac-source-abbrev ac-source-dictionary ac-source-words-in-same-mode-buffers))
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook 'ac-common-setup)
;; Other hooks
(global-auto-complete-mode t))
That doesn't work either. What's the best way to trigger a command just after a major mode is enabled for a buffer?
Here is workaround for now:
(add-to-list 'ac-modes 'go-mode)
I fixed the problem in v1.4 branch with the following commits.
Add go-mode to ac-modes
Add go-mode dictionary
Which variations have you tried? It should work if you add a single-quote in front of auto-complete-mode:
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook 'auto-complete-mode)
Without this quote, auto-complete-mode is interpreted as a variable and the value of that variable is added to go-mode-hook. For this to make sense, such a variable should contain a function reference as its value. Most likely though there will be no variable named auto-complete-mode and Emacs will complain.
By adding a quote, you tell Emacs that this is not a variable, but the actual function you want the hook to call. See also here and here.
I've got an emacs configuration file whatever.el :
(abbrev-mode +1)
(provide 'whatever)
and in my init.el :
(require 'whatever)
but when i start emacs, abbrev-mode isn't enabled. why ?
thank you
Quoting from http://emacswiki.org/emacs/AbbrevMode:
You can also put the following in your ~/.emacs file if you want it
always on:
(setq default-abbrev-mode t)
If you only want it on in text and derived modes, you could do
something like this:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (abbrev-mode 1)))
For multiple modes, use something like the following:
(dolist (hook '(erc-mode-hook
emacs-lisp-mode-hook
text-mode-hook))
(add-hook hook (lambda () (abbrev-mode 1))))
Abbrev-mode is enabled per-buffer.
One way is to create a hook function that you could add to the major mode hooks you will want to use it in.
For example:
(defun my-enable-abbrev-mode ()
(abbrev-mode 1))
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-enable-abbrev-hook)
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook 'my-enable-abbrev-hook)
Another approach is to use change-major-mode-hook.
While others explained how to get what you presumably want, I'll just point out that w.r.t to your actual question ("Why?"), the reason is simple: abbrev-mode is a buffer-local minor-mode, so when you run (abbrev-mode +1) at startup it will just enable abbrev-mode in the buffer that happens to be current during evaluation of the ~/.emacs (typically scratch) but not in subsequent buffers.
I use global-autopair-mode, but with Ruby the ruby-electric-mode provides better autopairing.
I'm a n00b to Emacs and Lisp, so I would have thought you could do something like:
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(autopair-mode nil)
(ruby-electric-mode t))
This however doesn't work. Is there a way to disable global modes within a major-mode hook?
Currently I'm using the last solution posted here, but it's not very neat and clean.
autopair mode honors autopair-dont-activate, used like so:
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq autopair-dont-activate t)
(ruby-electric-mode t))
Try replacing (autopair-mode nil) with (autopair-mode -1).
