I want globally enable whitespace-mode. I have tried this in my .emacs:
(require 'whitespace)
(setq-default whitespace-style '(face trailing lines empty indentation::space))
(setq-default whitespace-line-column 80)
(setq global-whitespace-mode 1)
(whitespace-mode 1)
but without success... I able to enable it via M+x whitespace-mode, but I want it to enable it globally... Any suggestions? I am using GNU Emacs 23.3.1 .
In general it's best to enable/disable modes by using the function call, not setting the variable (which is what you did for global-whitespace-mode).
Try:
(global-whitespace-mode 1)

I am using Emacs 24 and would like to disable auto-complete mode while in python-mode so it does not conflict with jedi. How do I go about doing this (sadly I do not know Emacs Lisp). Below are my current settings regarding auto-complete in init.el:
;; auto-complete settings
(require 'auto-complete)
(add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories "~/.emacs.d/ac-dict")
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(ac-config-default)
; Start auto-completion after 2 characters of a word
(setq ac-auto-start 2)
; case sensitivity is important when finding matches
(setq ac-ignore-case nil)
Thanks.
(ac-config-default) turns on global-auto-complete-mode, to stop (auto-complete-mode) from being called in python mode you can write an advice for it.
(defadvice auto-complete-mode (around disable-auto-complete-for-python)
(unless (eq major-mode 'python-mode) ad-do-it))
(ad-activate 'auto-complete-mode)
Also I am not sure this is what you want, since Jedi use auto-complete-mode as Dmitry pointed out in the comment, there should not be conflicts.
I think I had a similar problem: my yellow Jedi popups with Python-specific content were taken over by grey popups from a more general auto-complete feature. Hence, I could choose non-Python related options, but not the Python-specific ones.
What helped for me was ensuring that auto-complete-mode is disabled in Python mode:
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook (lambda () (auto-complete-mode -1)))
I’ve just started writing Go programs in Emacs. How can I turn off tabs highlighting in go-mode buffers? I use «whitespace» for whitespace chars highlighting. Go btw is the only mode where I don’t want tabs highlighted since tabs are standard formatting in Go.
Sincerely, Pavel.
To be clear, you're doing something like
(require 'whitespace)
(global-whitespace-mode t)
right? You can disable whitespace-mode for go-mode with
(setq whitespace-global-modes '(not go-mode))
There is a related question on emacs stack exchange.
I found that this
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'gofmt-before-save)
(setq whitespace-style '(face empty trailing lines-tail))
(setq tab-width 4)
(setq indent-tabs-mode 1)))
Worked a bit better for me. Leaves whitespace-mode on but doesn't highlight tabs. Also runs go fmt before save and sets tab width to 4. I'm using prelude.
Add this line
(whitespace-toggle-options '(tabs)))
To your go-mode hook e.g
(use-package go-mode
:preface
(defun go-mode-config ()
(whitespace-toggle-options '(tabs)))
:config
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook (lambda ()
(go-mode-config))))
Taken from prelue go config
i enable hl-mode in global scope with the following code.
(global-hl-line-mode t)
to turn off hl-line feature in a specified mode. i do it with the following code.
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (global-hl-line-mode 0)))
but it turns off the hl-line feature for global scope.
how to disable hl-line feature in a specified mode?
There is often information and documentation in the Commentary
section in the source file.
[...]
;; You could make variable `global-hl-line-mode' buffer-local and set
;; it to nil to avoid highlighting specific buffers, when the global
;; mode is used.
[...]
Thus, you can put something like this in your .emacs.
(global-hl-line-mode)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'global-hl-line-mode)
(add-hook 'some-mode-hook (lambda () (setq global-hl-line-mode nil)))
...
use hl-line-mode insted of global-hl-line-mode.
EDIT: You're right. This doesn't work.
The commentary says that the global-mode isn't meant to be used. I take it to
mean that you can't selectively disable it once enabled.
I enable the hl-line-mode in major-mode hooks where I need it.
write the following line in your dotEmacs file, and use f5 to toggle the hl-line-mode
(global-set-key [f5] 'hl-line-mode)
I would like to configure my Emacs whitespace options independently for C and python files, because the indent highlighting (space before tabs, etc.) does not apply to the Python coding style. I currently set the whitespace variables globally, but would like a separate (minimal) configuration for Python. Here is the relevant part of my .emacs:
(require 'whitespace)
(setq whitespace-line-column 80)
(setq whitespace-style '(face lines-tail indentation trailing space-before-tab))
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'whitespace-mode)
This works for C. Preferably I would have '(face lines-tail trailing) for Python, but I don't know how to setq just for a specific mode. What is the correct way to do this? Thanks. Using Emacs 23 in Ubuntu.
I got it to work by putting the settings into the hook along with the evocation of whitespace-mode:
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(progn
(setq whitespace-line-column 79)
(setq whitespace-style '(face lines-tail))
(whitespace-mode))))
Perhaps using File Local Variables could help you?
I want to enable line-wrapping without having to type 'M-x auto-fill-mode' everytime I start emacs. I've tried putting (setq auto-fill-mode 1) and (auto-fill-mode 1) in the .emacs file, but neither work. Why is this, and how do I fix it?
Thanks
It is a minor-mode so you need to enable it for the modes where you want it used. So, for example, if you want auto-fill-mode enabled in text mode, you need to add the following to your .emacs file:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook '(lambda ()
(auto-fill-mode 1)))
auto-fill-mode is a minor mode so (setq auto-fill-mode 1) wont start it.
You can add a hook to start auto-fill-mode with the text-mode (with which it is normally used) or any other mode you normally use it with, by doing
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
Alternatively, if you want the auto-fill-mode on for all the files you edit. You can start it when any type of file is opened with:
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("*" . auto-fill-mode) auto-mode-alist))
But having it always on is irritating at times, so its better to bind the starting of the mode to a familiar key sequence
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c q") 'auto-fill-mode)
