is there a simple way to make emacs put the tex-shell output in a background buffer? i.e. as opposed to the default behavior where it automatically makes split window to show the tex-shell.
More often than not I do not need to see the tex-shell output after rendering and it just unnecessarily takes up window space which I have to fix (an admittedly minor annoyance but an annoyance nevertheless).
Thank you
You should be using AUCTeX (it's much better than the builtin tex-mode) which will only open the TeX shell if you ask it to.

Help running emacs on a ubuntu computer. I am wanting to use numbers for headings instead of the * Does anyone know the best way to do this?
Maybe there is a general setting for this in emacs.
In any case, you can use org-mode for it on a file basis:
#+startup: num
#+startup: nonum
This option came with the org-mode 9.4 version.
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-release-notes.html
It displays headings as numerated, but does not replace the asterisk with an outline number, it only adds one.

What's the best Emacs auto-complete mode to use for writing prose in English? My main requirement would be to automatically complete its best guess as to the MOST LIKELY match with a single keystroke, rather than forcing me to navigate and choose which completion to fill in.
So that for instance if I typed in DISADV and hit ESCAPE, it would automatically complete it to DISADVANTAGE since that's the most likely completion.
It would be even better if it could automatically complete it just from hitting SPACE, if and when there's only one possible completion.
Suggestions?

Is there a way to have auto saving only in idle state i.e. when I have not typing. The thing is that a text file can be an encrypted huge one and it's a pain to wait every 5 seconds while it's auto saving. Maybe I missed something very simple but cannot configure it this way using different auto saving scripts, e.g. this one: http://www.litchie.net/programs/real-auto-save.el

Claws-mail is my email client and it can launch an external editor when you compose an email. And in general I prefer to use vim as my editor. But with emails I can't find convenient settings.
I want vim to auto wrap lines that exceed 76 characters, but not always, for example if I make an (un)ordered list. I suppose vim can be the most convenient editor out there. So far I only know about the textwidth, the gqip keys to format a paragraph, and the :set formatoption+=a option. I'm a bit confused about the other formatoption settings. So I turn to you and ask:
Which settings will make vim a great email editor?

UIProgressView doesn't allow any customization. I know it's not exactly something complicated, but still I'd prefer to use an open sourced solution rather than re-inventing my own wheel.
Are there any?
There are many at Cocoa Controls, some are more customizable than others. I like ATMHud.

Github is usually a good source for such OS projects. Here's one possibility:
