tuareg ocaml previous command - emacs

I am a new to ocaml. couldn't install rlwrap since I use a school computer.
So I have to stick to emacs tuareg.
My question is:
How to bind an up arrow key to the previous command in tuareg?

Just use M+p instead of the arraw key :)
But you can also add the following lines to your .emacs file:
(add-hook 'tuareg-interactive-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(local-set-key (kbd "<up>") 'comint-previous-input)
)
)

Change :ls to bring up ibuffer in Emacs evil-mode

Out of the box, :ls in evil-mode invokes M-x list-buffers. What do I need to put into my .emacs to rebind this to run M-x ibufferinstead?
Changing this has nothing to do with evil-mode: (defalias 'list-buffers 'ibuffer)
Specifying (defalias 'list-buffers 'ibuffer) didn't work for me.
In looking at source file 'evil-maps.el' I found another method.
Add to your .emacs file:
;; bind ':ls' command to 'ibuffer instead of 'list-buffers
(evil-ex-define-cmd "ls" 'ibuffer)
This method should be able to map any evil ex command.

How do I automatically get paredit in a emacs nrepl session?

I have the following line in my emacs init file.
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons `("\*nrepl\*" . paredit-mode) auto-mode-alist))
I check that this works by creating a new buffer called *nrepl* Ctrl-x-f *nrepl*. Yes, the *nrepl* buffer has Paredit active, paredit-mode was enabled.
I close the *nrepl* buffer without saving it.
I start up a nrepl session by typing M-x nrepl-jack-in. The nrepl server starts up and I am presented with the nrepl repl. The nrepl repl is also called *nrepl*, however Paredit is not enabled.
What am I doing wrong?
You're confusing buffers and files: auto-mode-alist matches file names against regexps to decide which mode to use when editing those files. But *nrepl* is a buffer that does not contain a file, so auto-mode-alist has no effect for it.
Instead, you probably want to figure out which major-mode *nrepl* uses and then use (add-hook '<the-major-mode>-hook 'paredit-mode).
To put it simply - you need the following code:
(add-hook 'nrepl-mode-hook 'paredit-mode) ; for nrepl.el <= 0.1.8
(add-hook 'nrepl-repl-mode-hook 'paredit-mode) ; for nrepl.el > 0.1.8
Which is equivalent to the longer form:
(add-hook 'nrepl-mode-hook (lambda () (paredit-mode +1)))
(add-hook 'nrepl-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)
is what they suggest on the nrepl github page

Org-agenda-files replaces directories with explicit filenames

I have a directory tasks/ in org-agenda-files variable. When i add a file to org-agenda-files variable through C-c [ command (org-agenda-file-to-front), the directory path is replaced by paths of the files, that are currently in that directory. It is bad, because when i add some files to tasks/ later on, they will not contribute to my agenda.
Is there some way to avoid this, or i'm stuck with manually adding files and directories to org-agenda-files?
This problem is acknowledged at Org Mode - Organize Your Life In Plain Text!
Emacs version: 24.0.50.1
Org-mode version: 7.8.09
You could define a command that just adds a file to org-agenda-files without calling org-agenda-files-to-front, and then rebing that to C-c [. For example:
(defun my-org-agenda-file-to-front ()
(interactive)
(setq org-agenda-files (append org-agenda-files (list (buffer-file-name (current-buffer))))))
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c [") `my-org-agenda-file-to-front)

Emacs + Synctex + Skim: How to correctly set up synchronization? [none of the existing methods worked properly]

I'm working with GNU Emacs 23.3 (9.0) on Mac OS X 10.7.2. I would like to use synctex to jump between .tex and .pdf files. Although there are many different approaches on the web, none worked properly (I tried 8 different approaches...). I finally ended up with the rather simple approach described here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=TeX_and_PDF_Synchronization
So my .emacs contains:
'(LaTeX-command "latex -synctex=1")
(require 'tex-site)
(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
'("^pdf$" "."
"/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline -b %n %o %b")))
)
(server-start)
Of course, I also set up Skim (Preferences -> Sync -> checked "Check for file changes" and chose Preset: Emacs with command emacsclient and arguments --no-wait +%line "%file")
As you can see, I included the -b option to displayline. I can call displayline from the terminal and it opens the .pdf and displays the corresponding line with a yellow/highlighted bar. Still, nothing is displayed on the current line if I compile the document with latexmk -pvc -pdf from a shell within Emacs.app.
Question 1: How can I get this to work/How can I display the current line?
Question 2: Is it possible to have a "proper" forward search by clicking the .tex and jumping to the corresponding line in the .pdf document? How can I "click" in emacs? The standard CMD + shift + click does not work in emacs.
I also tried approaches using...
(setq TeX-source-correlate-method 'synctex)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'TeX-source-correlate-mode)
... but nothing changes.
I can CMD + shift + click in the .pdf and jump to the .tex, so that works.
The only directions which I haven't looked into are:
is this a latexmk problem? Most likely not, since latexmk explicitly displays pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 so synctex is recognized
is it a wrong skim preference setting? Maybe I have to adjust the arguments to emacsclient there (?)
Solution
Indeed latexmk is the problem. I finally figured out the following settings:
~/.emacs
;; make latexmk available via C-c C-c
;; Note: SyncTeX is setup via ~/.latexmkrc (see below)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda ()
(push
'("latexmk" "latexmk -pdf %s" TeX-run-TeX nil t
:help "Run latexmk on file")
TeX-command-list)))
(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq TeX-command-default "latexmk")))
;; use Skim as default pdf viewer
;; Skim's displayline is used for forward search (from .tex to .pdf)
;; option -b highlights the current line; option -g opens Skim in the background
(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "PDF Viewer")))
(setq TeX-view-program-list
'(("PDF Viewer" "/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline -b -g %n %o %b")))
(server-start); start emacs in server mode so that skim can talk to it
~/.latexmkrc
$pdflatex = 'pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %O %S';
$pdf_previewer = 'open -a skim';
$clean_ext = 'bbl rel %R-blx.bib %R.synctex.gz';
This perfectly allows to compile with latexmk as default on C-c C-c and C-c C-v opens Skim at the current line which is nicely highlighted. With CMD + shift + click in the .pdf, one can then jump back to the corresponding paragraph in the .tex file (thanks to server-start).
To enable the clicking feature of the sync, I added:
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
(lambda () (local-set-key (kbd "<S-s-mouse-1>") #'TeX-view))
)
to my .emacs file.
NOTE: make sure that you are in PDF mode (use (setq TeX-PDF-mode t)).
When you press C-c C-v (which runs TeX-view) it should open Skim with the bar on the current line. This is what you set up with the TeX-output-view-style. You can't get that behaviour from latexmk -pvc since it doesn't know which line you are on. All latexmk knows is that the file changed. In order to do a forward search you need to run TeX-view.
You can bind CMD + shift + click to run TeX-view by adding
(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [M-S-mouse-1] 'TeX-view)
or possibly
(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [s-S-mouse-1] 'TeX-view)
to your TeX-mode-hook. It depends on your settings which you need, but can find out by pressing C-h C-k and then CMD+shift+click. Of course adding both shouldn't cause a problem.

Loading fic-mode in emacs

This answer gave me the solution I needed. The only problem for me, is that I have to load it, namely fic-mode, manually. More explicitly, whenever I open a c++ file, I have to do M-x fic-mode and then M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer in order to have it really up and running. In my .emacs I have
(require 'fic-mode)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook '(lambda () (fic-mode 1)))
but it doesn't do the trick.
Do you have any suggestions how to make it available automatically?
Try the following: create a new file containing the following three lines:
(setq load-path (cons "/path/to/fic-mode-directory" load-path))
(require 'fic-mode)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'turn-on-fic-mode)
Replace "/path/to/fic-mode-directory" with the absolute path to the directory in which you saved fic-mode.el.
Then from the command line, run
emacs -Q -l /path/to/file
where /path/to/file is the path to the above file.
Now type C-x C-f test.cpp.
Is fic-mode turned on in the resulting buffer?
