How to automatically enable Zen Coding mode (zencoding-mode) everytime I open an HTML file in Emacs?
I don't actually use any of these, but something like this ought to do the trick:
(add-hook 'html-mode-hook (lambda () (zencoding-mode 1)))

I was trying to use emacs emms to play music.
I loaded the playlist. And chose a song. Pressed enter to play it.
But emms showed a message in minibuf: emms-player-list empty
What should I do?
emms is installed. M-x package-install RET emms.
Should I install something else?
The exact same thing happened to me.
It's because I use use-package and misconfigured it (defer option to t and code not loaded after emms invocation).
This is a working use-package declaration :
(use-package emms-setup
:ensure nil
:init
(add-hook 'emms-player-started-hook 'emms-show)
:config
(setq emms-show-format "Playing: %s")
(emms-all)
(emms-default-players)
(setq emms-source-file-default-directory "~/Musique/")
)
Without use-package, referring to the quickstart guide, a simple
(require 'emms-setup)
(emms-all)
(emms-default-players)
should get you rocking !
Really new programming student here, and I'm trying to get tabs in emacs (browser style, like Aquamacs has).
So, how do you get tabs in emacs? A strip of labels showing me which buffers I have open, and clicking on one of them selects that buffer.
I have googled this extensively, but not being fluent in elisp makes it really hard to understand. I have installed the tabbar package, but I do not know where to go from here.
What do I want? Just tabs, and a command to open new tabs, for example C-t (or whatever is best).
I have installed the tabbar package, but I do not know where to go from here.
The tabbar library provides a global minor mode named tabbar-mode, so you will want to enable that in your init file. If it's installed somewhere in your load-path then the following will work:
(when (require 'tabbar nil t)
(tabbar-mode 1))
There is lots of documentation in the library's Commentary, which you can visit like so:
M-x find-library RET tabbar RET
Try this, it's called tabbar and should allow you to do what you're looking for.
As the other answers, tabbar is what you're looking for.
You need to copy it to wherever you keep your emacs files (if you don't have such a place - make one, tabbar will not be the last add-on you'll use :) ), load the file and start the tabbar-mode.
In the below code, the emacs files dir is .emacs.files and it is in my home dir.
(setq tabbar-file
(expand-file-name "tabbar.el"
(expand-file-name ".emacs.files" "~")))
(load-file tabbar-file)
(tabbar-mode 1)
(define-key global-map "\M-[" 'tabbar-backward)
(define-key global-map "\M-]" 'tabbar-forward)
In the above code, I also added binding of scrolling through the tabs to Alt-[ and Alt-].
As to opening new tabs - every time you'll open a new file, it will be opened in a new tab, so don't worry...
I am new to Emacs and presently I am using it heavily for LaTeXing.
Please help me out with the following customizations:
How to scroll continuously in doc-view-mode? I have
(setq doc-view-continuous t)
in my .emacs file. This enables scrolling through the pages, however, the pages "jump" to the next one. I do not like reading to the bottom of the screen. Is it possible to resolve it?
I invoke doc-view using C-c C-c and the PDF loads into a new window. Is it possible to load it in a new frame?
I have used
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
in my .emacs file. This works fine. However, the first line is just below the top screen. Can I create some margin ONLY on top?
How do I copy/paste from Emacs to other application, like a browser? I couldn't copy the code above using C-w in Emacs and then Ctrl-v in Iceweasel (browser). I had to use Kate, sadly. (This I realized while typing this question!)

You should be able to scroll "line by line" with C-n and C-p.
I do not know that mode (I use tex-mode), but what you probably want is to find out how C-c C-c is invoking doc-view and use it with other-window, for example:
(defun new-frame-dvi-file ()
(interactive)
(split-window-right)
(other-window 1)
(tex-view))
I could not find anything that sets a top margin ONLY, but found this:
(set-frame-parameter nil 'internal-border-width 10)
You can share clipboards with this:
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
Anyway, even if it sounds really boring, sometimes it is really useful to take a look at the manual. Sometimes you don't need to read it all and you can find the answer quickly ;-)
Hope it helps!
Since I updated to emacs 24 I cannot get AUCTeX to load the LaTeX-mode hooks, e.g.
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)
despite:
C-h m tells me that my major mode is Major mode in AUCTeX for editing LaTeX files.
the AUCTeX mode help states:
Entering LaTeX mode calls the value of `text-mode-hook',
then the value of `TeX-mode-hook', and then the value
of `LaTeX-mode-hook'.
(Indeed, the text-mode hooks are not loaded either.)
Hooks for other modes (e.g. for Markdown or Python) do work.
And, of course, I have tested that manual activation, e.g. M-x visual-line-mode, does work.
Thanks!
This is strange C-hm gives me
Entering Latex mode runs the hook text-mode-hook', then
tex-mode-hook', and finally `latex-mode-hook'.
Notice that it is latex-mode-hook and not LaTeX-mode-hook.
EDIT - I do not have auctex installed maybe that explains why the help messages are different for us, ignore the part above. You can try the below as an alternative
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)
As is noted in the comments in the other answer, this issue is caused by AucTeX being unable to create XPM images. This occurs when when Emacs is not compiled with the libxpm library, which might be the case when you run Emacs primarily inside your favorite terminal emulator.
Anyways, you can still correct this issue without recompiling Emacs. In fact, the images are only used for the AucTeX toolbar. Thus, disabling it will effectively remove the problem altogether. You can do this by adding:
(unless (image-type-available-p 'xpm)
(setq LaTeX-enable-toolbar nil))
To your .emacs (or .emacs.d/init.el) file.
This snippet simply checks if XPM images are available in the Emacs installation and if not, it disables the toolbar.
I have auto-complete.el, using Emacs. When I type something, only part of the suggestion appears, and I want to set a key shortcut or something, to enable the whole thing and show all possible suggestions. Using it in Python mode.
When I first installed it, I used it once, don't remember how (possibly automatically).
Try this:
(add-hook
'python-mode-hook
(lambda()
(define-key python-mode-map "\C-i" 'auto-complete)))
