Hello,
I got epoch-4.2, installed it on a sparcstation IPC running openwin 3.0,
and now cannot figure out how to bind a function to a mouse click.
I wrote the following stuff in .emacs file

(require 'mouse)
;;; though, epoch knows the function global-set-mouse even without this
;;; line  (M.M.)
(global-set-mouse mouse-right mouse-shift 'end-of-line)

to bind shift-right to end-of-line -- it doesnt work and says
"Wrong type argument: integerp, ......"

I suspect that there's something very simple, which should be in a
template dot.emacs file, which is absent in the distribution tar
file. If dot.emacs contains anything appropriate with respect to plain
emacs (I used emacs before), could someone send me this file also?



Please email to mmarkevi@esoc1.bitnet -- I'm not on usenet.

Thanks in advance,

hello
    for some reason I can bind all the function keys on my sun sparc 2

on a sparc 1+ running sunos 4.1.2. I can map all the funtion keys from
"F1" to "F10" but for some reason "f11" and F12" can not be mapped?
"F11" maps to  and "f12" maps to . how do I mapp these values?
with out messing up the previous-line command bound to C-p.

What is the fuss?  Is emacs-19 doing away with search-exit-char?  I
have set it to 0; I have always thought that ESC was a bad choice,
since want all commands to work when I get where I'm going.  All I
have to remember is about another second control-space if I mean to
issue set-mark-command.  If someone has a different inclination about
a character choice, it's a free, well a copyleft, world.

I'm working on it. Reading in a BibTeX file is pretty easy. I still

In the current Emacs default, it would terminate the search and insert a

C-space is hard to type on many terminals, since it's actually C-@.  Not
all terminals provide C-space as a synonym.

Yes, Alt-V terminates a search and scrolls, but ESC-V (which is
supposed to be the same thing) terminates the search and inserts a
`v.'  Drives my crazy.

Yes, add me to the interested list. I installed that database package
only because I was hoping it would help me organize things like bibtex
databases, and when I found it could not I never used it since.

So to make edb useful, you really need some supporting databases. The
demos that come with edb are not  very convincing most of that stuff
is already done much more efficiently by the emacs calendar package
and the rest can be done handily using hyperbole and wrolotex.

With C-q.  For example, to search for foo<ret>bar you would type:

C-s f o o C-q C-j b a r

Note that the new line character in Emacs is actually C-j, not C-m.

I agree.  I got so fed up with this problem that I changed the key in

Its far more civilised now.

In emacs 18.59 info, node Search Changes, one can read:

   The most important change in incremental search is that RET now
terminates a search, and ESC does not. [ ... ]

     (This change is somewhat of an experiment; it might be taken back
     by the time Emacs 19 is really released.)

Please, don't take it back!  The thing I most hate in emacs is that
you must hit ESC to terminate a search.  One time over two i hit
either a RET, one of the arrow keys, or one of the PgUp, Home and so
on keys.  Since I use a vt100, those keys send a sequence beginning
with ESC: the search is terminated and the rest of the sequence is
inserted into the buffer.  Sometimes I don't even notice that until I
get a compilation error!

I keep making this error even though I have used emacs for more than
two years now and I use it daily.

Thanks.

Is there such a thing ( File Completion ) in shell.el
or anyway I can put it in there?

In the emacs-18.58 I'm using under X window system, miscellaneous
control characters terminate the search, including meta'd characters.
E.g. if I hit Alt-V, the search terminates and scroll-down is executed.
Will this still be possible with the emacs 19 new isearch?
