I would like to know how can I get the suggestion when I do a \cite in Emacs-AUCTeX. The minibuffer tells me when I do C-c [ that:
No valid bibliography in this document, and no default available
So how can I set this default? I have a separated file with my bibtex references that is called by a master document, and I want the suggestion for any of the other files included.
Have you tried: Ref -> Parse Dokument -> Entire Document? That solved the problem for me.
The variable reftex-default-bibliography is what defines the default bibliography to use. I don't do much with mult-file documents, do you have reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX turned on?
Yes, modifying this variable is a solution (I don't know if it is the "best solution"). I go to the ref menu -> Customize -> Browse Reftex Group -> Reftex Citacion Support -> Reftex Default Bibliography and then I add the path to the bib file (without the .bib extension) and it works!! These options create this in the init file:
(custom-set-variables
'(reftex-default-bibliography (quote ("D:/mybibdirectory/mybibfile"))))
(custom-set-faces
)
Well, perhaps that it works now that suggestions are going to appear in every document that I write. It would be good have a solution only for this document.
Reading the help file of reftex (reftex->finding files) also mentions make the next modifications in order to get the suggestions:
(setq reftex-bibpath-environment-variables
'("D:/mybibdirectory/"))
You may also try the solution mentioned in Re: auctex - no valid bibliography?. It worked for me.
(It might help to check whether you have kpsewhich installed, before attempting to use this fix. The following command should output its path if you do have it installed:
$ which kpsewhich
)
When in the buffer of your non-master file, try to query for the name of a master file (again) with C-c _ (Control C + underscore) as explained in auctex manual
This will add the local variable TeX-master to the end of your file. Save your file, restart emacs and load your file again. Hopefully, you can now get references from the bibliography stated in your master file by calling C-c [ in the subfile.
Mysteriously, when I do this manually without letting auctex query for it, it does not work. I cannot see how the end result is different in the auto directory either. But somehow letting auctex query for the value made it work for me.

I use DocView Mode to display .pdf compilations via "latex-preview-pane-mode." Recently, Emacs will ask me "file ____.pdf changed on disk. Reread from disk? (yes or no)".
Typing "yes" each time disrupts my workflow. I have tried setting auto-revert-mode for the DocView buffer, but this did not help. Is there any way to fix this, or any idea why it changed suddenly (no changes to my .emacs.d in the recent past).
To achieve what Tristan suggests, first I tried M-x customize-variable RET revert-without-query, but couldn't get very far, so I wrote this in my init.el file:
(setq revert-without-query '(".pdf"))
and I'm happily udating my pdf files from org-mode without getting queried every time. (I use pdf-tools).
Source: fourth answer to a similar question in stackoverflow
(defun revert-buffer-no-confirm ()
"Revert buffer without confirmation."
(interactive)
(revert-buffer :ignore-auto :noconfirm))
Source: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/download/misc-cmds.el
Maybe this function could help you out
Take a look at the variable revert-without-query. From the Emacs Lisp documentation:
This variable holds a list of files that should be reverted without
query. The value is a list of regular expressions. If the visited
file name matches one of these regular expressions, and the file
has changed on disk but the buffer is not modified, then
‘revert-buffer’ reverts the file without asking the user for
confirmation.
Adding .+\.pdf to the list should make buffers visiting pdf files revert when you change the file on disk.
I use Icicles for auto-completion when for example finding a file in emacs. However sometimes I need to create a file with a particular name filename.tex in a directory and the autcomplete automatically finds a file with a similar name filanem_another.tex in another directory (I'm guessing from history).
This is annoying as it prevents making new files using C-x C-f and instead finds a similar file.
How can I ignore Icicles's suggestions?
Please try to provide a step-by-step recipe of what you do. So far, I don't recognize the behavior you describe. What do you mean by "autocompletion" and "Icicles's suggestions", for example?
Also mention whether you have any
Icicles customizations. Best is a recipe that starts from emacs -Q (no init file), saying exactly what to do to reproduce the problem. And please mention your emacs-version.
By default, in Icicle mode C-x C-f is bound to icicle-file. You should be able to enter any file name you like at the prompt; you need not choose any of the completion candidates, and you need not even complete (TAB or S-TAB). (And completion does not complete against the history.) IOW, in these respects C-x C-f should behave the same as in vanilla Emacs.
[To those tempted to complain that this is a comment and not a real answer: I intend to answer the question here, when I get some more info about it.]
When I modify a buffer, Emacs automatically creates a temporary symlink in the same directory as the file being edited (e.g. foo.c):
.#foo.c -> user#host.12345:1296583136
where '12345' is Emacs' PID (I don't know what the last number means).
Why does Emacs create these links, and how do I prevent it from doing that?
Note that I have turned off auto save mode (M-x auto-save-mode) and disabled backup files (M-x set-variable -> make-backup-files -> nil). When I save a modified buffer, or undo the changes to it, the symlink disappears.
In particular, I'm trying to prevent Emacs from creating these links because they cause the directory timestamp to be modified, which causes our build system to rebuild an entire module instead of compiling and linking for one changed file :/
Thanks for any input!
Update: In order to prevent Emacs from creating interlocking files permanently, you can change src/filelock.c and build a custom binary:
void
lock_file (fn)
Lisp_Object fn;
{
return;
// Unused code below...
}
Update 2: Arne's answer is correct. It's now possible to disable lock files in the latest Emacs (24.3.1), by adding this to your .emacs file:
(setq create-lockfiles nil)
Update: Emacs 24.3 has been released with full support for this new setting!
In the current trunk of emacs, you can simply customize the variable create-lockfiles:
C-h v create-lockfiles
Documentation:
Non-nil means use lockfiles to avoid editing collisions.
In your init file, you can set
(setq create-lockfiles nil)
Get it via
bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk emacs-trunk
make
src/emacs
(I found out about this, because I decided to get active and just add an option like that myself… :) )
The symbolic link is emacs' file interlocking system: the symbolic link indicates that an instance of emacs is editing this file. If another instance tries to edit the same file, emacs will issue a warning. See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Interlocking.html
This has nothing to do with auto-save.
I cannot find how to modify or disable file locking from within emacs.
After typing C-x r l I get a buffer called *Bookmark List*
In this buffer I see:
Bookmark file:
/tmp/bmkp-temp/19236bkt
If I open help (i.e. press h), I see:
Bookmark file: /tmp/bmkp-temp-19236bkt
Sorted:
Filtering: none
Marked: 0
Omitted: 0
Autosave bookmarks: no
Autosave list display: yes
This is even though I have the following in my .emacs file:
(setq bookmark-file "~/.emacs.d/bookmarks")
(setq bookmark-default-file "~/.emacs.d/bookmarks")
(setq bmkp-default-bookmark-file "~/.emacs.d/bookmarks")
(setq bmkp-last-as-first-bookmark-file nil)
Why is it using a different bookmark file from the one I specified?
I also noticed that when I load Emacs the following happens:
Emptying bookmark file `/tmp/bmkp-temp-23808OMn'...
Saving file /tmp/bmkp-temp-23808OMn...
Wrote /tmp/bmkp-temp-23808OMn
Emptying bookmark file `/tmp/bmkp-temp-23808OMn'...done
...
Helm completion enabled
Emptying bookmark file `/tmp/bmkp-temp-23808bWt'...
Saving file /tmp/bmkp-temp-23808bWt...
Wrote /tmp/bmkp-temp-23808bWt
Emptying bookmark file `/tmp/bmkp-temp-23808bWt'...done
...
Emacs goes on a spree deleting temporary bookmark files. ?
Perhaps you were trying to use "bookmark-file bookmarks"? Or anyways, accidently hit C-x p x?
These are claimed to correspond, at EmacsWiki: Bookmark Plus / Bookmark-File Bookmarks, where they say, "bmkp-set-bookmark-file-bookmark, bound to C-x p x". For my Emacs, this is not true.
By typing C-x p C-h, I can check key-bindings that start with C-x p. I find
C-x p x is bound to bmkp-toggle-autotemp-on-set, and
C-x p y is bound to bmkp-set-bookmark-file-bookmark.
Then, the link should say C-x p y instead.
It looks like something, somewhere (e.g. check your .emacs file) has turned on bmkp-temporary-bookmarking-mode. When that mode is on, any bookmarks you create are for the current session only -- they are not saved to your bookmark file.
And that means that your bookmark-file location settings are ignored. (Note, BTW, that bmkp-default-bookmark-file is a function, not a variable -- it is not something that you set. And you don't need all of those bookmark-file settings; some are redundant: old names from old versions of Emacs bookmarking.)
I don't know why you are getting multiple temporary bookmark-file creations and saves. You didn't provide a complete recipe. You should get only one such. This is all I see in *Messages* in this regard, for instance:
Emptying bookmark file `c:/DOCUME~1/me/LOCALS~1/Temp/bmkp-temp-5348su1'...
Saving file c:/Documents and Settings/me/Local Settings/Temp/bmkp-temp-5348su1...
Wrote c:/Documents and Settings/me/Local Settings/Temp/bmkp-temp-5348su1
Emptying bookmark file `c:/DOCUME~1/me/LOCALS~1/Temp/bmkp-temp-5348su1'...done
It also appears that you have a lot of stuff going on (Helm etc.). When trying to understand or debug a problem, it helps to narrow things down as much as possible. Who can tell what other interactions might be involved here?
All of that said, my advice would be to not start out using the temporary bookmarking mode. I would not suggest you use that until you are quite familiar with Bookmark+. You can use temporary bookmarks without using this mode.
Here is the doc about using temporary bookmarks:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/BookmarkPlus#toc55
Finally, as Stefan suggested, please follow up by email. It's a lot easier for debugging/discussing things in detail.
Thx -- Drew
Update 2019-04-21:
I think what might have happened is that you quit Emacs with bmkp-temporary-bookmarking-mode enabled. Although Bookmark+ (correctly) does not save the file of temporary bookmarks it was not preventing the recording of bmkp-last-as-first-bookmark-file from being updated to point to the temporary file. In your next Emacs session that temporary file (if it still existed) was loaded because of bmkp-last-as-first-bookmark-file.
That should be OK now. Enabling bmkp-temporary-bookmarking-mode now resets bmkp-last-as-first-bookmark-file to nil, so if you quit with the temp mode still enabled, then when you load your bookmark file in a new session the file that is read is the value of bookmark-default-file. (The value of bookmark-default-file is never changed, except by your
customizations.)
It's quite an old question, but since I had just the same problem and the other answers didn't help me I'll post my solution:
I'm using desktop files from desktop.el and the temporary mode was set there in the desktop file! Removing that setting from all my desktop files fixed the problem.
This might be handy:
find ~ -name .emacs.desktop -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l bmkp-temporary-bookmarking-mode
I want to open a file that is somewhere deep in my project tree. I know the name of the file, however I don't want to go searching the tree for it. I would like a way to enter just the file name, and have emacs search for me. I should also be able to enter the base directory I want to start the search from, and emacs should remember that for future searches.
Sounds like you are looking for the equivalent of Textmate's Command-T functionality. The closest I have found for emacs is find-file-in-project. It can be bound to C-t or a similar key for convenience: (global-set-key "\C-t" 'ido-find-file-in-tag-files)
M-x find-name-dired is the built-in solution for this. The default directory changes according to the current buffer, but the minibuffer history contains the previous selections.
I happen to like the ifind.el package which can be downloaded from the emacswiki here.
In Icicles you can find files by matching not just the relative file name but any parts of the path. You can use substring, regexp, and fuzzy matching. You can AND together multiple search patterns (progressive completion). See multi-command icicle-locate-file.
