OK, five net upvotes!
Aaron Hall
18:14
ok, I don't get the
File Edit Options Buffers Tools Custom Help
toolbar at the top. Why is it there?
Aaron Hall
18:32
Well it's not clickable for me, so I turned it off with M-x customize > Environment > Frames > Menu Bar Mode: Toggle
Now what's the builtin way to get 80 column marker?
whoa, emacs has battery mode
Realraptor
18:49
M-x display-battery-mode is your friend
Aaron Hall
cool... I'll try it out when I'm on my laptop.
Right now I'm trying to get emacs inside of mintty to map alt back to alt instead of altgr
when I allow myself to opine on operating systems, I like to note that I really hate Windows...
ah, F10 uses the menu...
Realraptor
19:06
why do you care about F10?
Aaron Hall
I don't care about F10, until I just found out it uses the menu bar (which I had no idea how to use if I couldn't click it until now)
Regardless, it's a cluttering thing so I'm leaving it off my screen.
Still keeping an eye out for my 80 column marker...
ooh, display time in the mode line
Realraptor
Do you have column-number-mode ?
Aaron Hall
just enabled it for permanent addition to config.
always had to google it...
Realraptor
(global-set-key [M-down] 'next-error)
(global-set-key [M-up] '(lambda () (interactive) (next-error -1)))
Aaron Hall
what's that?
Realraptor
19:19
In compilation- and grep-mode, you can step through the results with next-error. That's bound to C-x ` by default. Binding to M-down and M-up is significantly more useful
Aaron Hall
neat...
Realraptor
Also, because C-pagedown and C-pageup switch tabs in tabbed browsers:
(global-set-key [C-prior] 'previous-buffer)
(global-set-key [C-next] 'next-buffer)
Aaron Hall
Still trying to find my builtin vertical rule at 80 columns
Realraptor
have you tried whitespace-mode?
you can have text change color when it goes past a column
Aaron Hall
Yeah, that would be close maybe, lemme google...
Realraptor
19:32
(setq whitespace-style
(quote (face trailing tab-mark lines-tail)))
(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'whitespace-mode)
you only need to the "lines-tail"
Aaron Hall
I was hoping to use
configure
customize to set it up.
Realraptor
nod
Aaron Hall
where's it located?
Realraptor
"located"?
Aaron Hall
sad that Haskell isn't listed in the languages group.
Realraptor
19:36
It's part of emacs-25
Aaron Hall
under text?
M-x customize > Text > Columns????
emacs needs breadcrumbs to help you get back...
brb
Realraptor
M-x customize-group\nwhitespace
(I think)
Aaron Hall
20:01
"Show Trailing Whitespace" nice! :)
Fill Column?
Realraptor
emacswiki.org/emacs/FillColumnIndicator
sounds like what you want. It isn't in the default emacs tho
