What to do? Following are the steps I did for now. First install wmctrl: $ sudo yum install wmctrl Now add following code to your ~/.emacs configuration file: (defun switch-full-screen () (interactive) (shell-command "wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -btoggle,fullscreen")) (global-set-key [f11] 'switch-full-screen) Restart Emacs and press F11. Thats it! /2013/03/15/emacs-and-akka-pi-example/ Fri, 15 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000 /2013/03/15/emacs-and-akka-pi-example/ I was trying The first Akka Example here Install the TypeSafe stack on RPM distro: $ sudo yum install typesafe-stack Setup a g8 project: $ g8 typesafehub/akka-scala-sbt Akka 2.0 Project Using Scala and sbt organization [org.example]: in.tuxdna name [Akka Project In Scala]: akka-pi akka_version [2.0.1]: version [0.1-SNAPSHOT]: The I added the Pi.scala to src/main/scala folder. Then I tried to compile it from within Emacs, to check if it will be easier navigate compilation errors in the code. /2013/03/10/emacs-org-mode-for-creating-and-generating-presenations/ Sun, 10 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000 /2013/03/10/emacs-org-mode-for-creating-and-generating-presenations/ Last time I created a presentation in Org Mode was in 2010 here. Creating presentation in Emacs Org Mode and publishing it as Latex, PDF and HTML, is so awesome. Here are the links to get you started: http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/tutorial.html http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/non-beamer-presentations.html And follow these simple steps ( I am using Ubuntu right now but the steps should be easy on Fedora too.): Create a slides.org file as in the tutorial above: /2013/02/18/set-up-for-learning-scala-with-emacs/ Mon, 18 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000 /2013/02/18/set-up-for-learning-scala-with-emacs/ Obviously the first step is to install Scala language. $ sudo aptitude install scala OR $ yum install scala Then I ran my first Scala “Hello world!” program from CLI. Setting up Scala mode for Emacs was a bit of a pain so I merged the old scala-mode and the latest into my repo. Here are very simple steps to setup scala-mode for Emacs. $ cd ~/.emacs.d/ $ git clone git://github. /2011/11/15/emacs-key-binding-ctrl-space-not-working-on-fedora-16-gnome-or-xfce/ Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 /2011/11/15/emacs-key-binding-ctrl-space-not-working-on-fedora-16-gnome-or-xfce/ I installed Fedora 16 x86_64 and then installed Emacs. Then I logged in into (XFCE or GNOME) desktop and started Emacs. For text selection in Emacs I use Ctrl+Space ( which is the default in Emacs ), and is no longer working. So I cannot select text using Ctr+Space. However, if I login into virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F3), then login and start Emacs, the key-binding (Ctrl+Space) for text selection works fine. Therefore there is no problem in Emacs itself. /2011/11/12/turbocharge-your-emacs-for-ruby-on-rails-with-rinari-and-rails-reloaded/ Sat, 12 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 /2011/11/12/turbocharge-your-emacs-for-ruby-on-rails-with-rinari-and-rails-reloaded/ Rinari is an Emacs minor mode that is aimed towards making Emacs into a top-notch Ruby and Rails development environment. Rails reloaded is the minor mode for editing Ruby On Rails code with Emacs. This minor mode makes your work much easier and user friendly. Lets first install rinari: cd ~/.emacs.d/ git clone git://github.com/eschulte/rinari.git cd rinari git submodule init git submodule update ( Curious about git submodules? Read here http://book.git-scm.com/5_submodules.html ) /2007/08/20/emacs-the-gnus-editor/ Mon, 20 Aug 2007 00:00:00 +0000 /2007/08/20/emacs-the-gnus-editor/ I have been using Vim editor for past ( almost ) four years, but now I have switched over to Emacs. I find it more intuitive ( just a personal opinion ). While I was learning Emacs I had few queries. So, I have prepared a small HOWTO which might help a new emacs user. HowTo Colorize the syntax? M-x font-lock-mode Here M is the Meta key, which may be Alt or Esc (top-left corner of the keyboard).
