General :: Vim Stuck In Insert Mode
Apr 11, 2010I've been using Vim for several months now via my web host (they allow putty access). All of a sudden, the escape key has become unresponsive. I cannot exist insert or any other mode by simply hitting escape. I have to hit F1 which brings up the help in vim and kicks me into command mode.
I'm most certain that my escape key on my keyboard is functioning fine since all of my windows shortcuts that use the escape key operate normally.
I know this is a ridiculous question and I'm certain there's a lot more to look into regarding a solution. What I really need is a solid lead as to where to start looking.
I'm using vim via putty I'm logging in using jailshell I'm not root

General :: Getting Emacs Recognizing .tex As Latex And Even Running Latex-mode?
Jul 5, 2010I am a semi-noob on this and I have problems getting my emacs recognizing .tex as latex and even running latex-mode. Usually when you run latex-mode (M-x : latex-mode) emacs should switch to latex-mode, but nothing happens in my case. The menu bar still show the TeX options, highlighting remains the same etc.
I am running emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.4), this is on a university system so I don't know much about it.

Applications :: Install Php Mode On Emacs?
Dec 23, 2010I am just starting out with ubuntu.
I downloaded emacs, and wanted to use php-mode, so i downloaded something called php-mode. I would have posted a link, but this forum restricts me from doing that.
Inside are a bunch of files, and no readme. I tried to ask google how to install this, but found nothing that made sense to me (i am still a n00b).

Jan 12, 2016When entering insert mode in a text file i want to edit while using rxvt-unicode, there is a p being inserted and a whole new line is entered as well. when i hit the insert key, vim enters insert mode but also types a p and forces whatever line i am on down a line. if num lock is not on, it will not enter insert mode by pressing the insert key but if i type using the keyboard and not the number pad, it still enters text. vim/mode keys work normally in xterm. is there some unusual configuration required in order to get vim to behave properly within rxvt-unicode?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Using EMacs Abbrev-Mode To Replace Symbols?
Jul 7, 2011I want to use Emacs abbrev-mode to be able to replace certain programming symbols with their Unicode equivalents as I type. So, for starters, I added this to my abbrev_defs file:
Code:
(define-abbrev-table 'haskell-mode-abbrev-table '(
("->" "→" nil 0) ))
But it simply doesn't work when I am in abbrev-mode. No error message, the auto-abbreviation simply doesn't take place. If I adjust the above:
Code:
(define-abbrev-table 'haskell-mode-abbrev-table '(
("arrow" "→" nil 0) ))
Then auto-abbreviation works with the word "arrow". Why can't it auto-replace the symbol?
Fedora :: Commenting Out Block Of Code In EMacs In Python Mode
Jan 13, 2010I usually develop python code with emacs, emacs being in python code. On my desktop a version is installed and/or configured that way, so I easily can choose a region in the code and simply click on a menu option to comment out this block of code (i.e. at the begin of each line in the selected code two '##' are put). That is very convenient.
However, on my Laptop, running F12 and emacs 23.1.1, this menu option is missing! I searched within google and found the hint that by pressing 'C-c #' I also can comment out a selected region. But on my emacs it says: 'C-c # is undefined'. Am I missing something? Anyone any idea how to fix/install/update/solve this problem, so I can easily choose a couple of python lines and comment them out?

General :: Emergency Mode Can Mount HDD With FS Error / Not In Rescue Or Single User-mode
Dec 1, 2010My linux workstation recently crashed. After rebooting, Linux (Red Hat 5.3) will not boot properly and automatically went into emergency mode or recovery mode i think. I can still see my /home/user/ and all the files inside.I boot from CD to rescue mode and tried mounting read-only the /dev/sd5 which contains the files in the crashed hard disk to try to copy out my files but mounting was unsuccessful (invalid argument). I checked the filesystem type using fsck -N /dev/sda5 and shows it to ext2. i tried to mount another known working hdd and was successful.
My question is why in emergency mode, the crashed hdd is able to be mounted automatically as read-only but cannot be done in rescue mode thru a bootable CD?Is there any special mount options used in emergency mode?I also cannot copy out in emergency mode booting from the crashed hard disk as everything is read only.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Get A Decent Emacs Setup
Mar 11, 2011I am currently interested in switching from vim to emacs.One of the more compelling reasons for this is the smooth integration with a unix environment. The most experienced emacs users I have seen have a bash prompt at the bottom of their window, with stdout going to a buffer right above it. They then interact with the output of programs such as grep in interesting ways.I am on Ubuntu 10.04 and the default emacs environment does not seem to do much for me in the way of integration. For example, in the M-x shell mode, output from basic commands like ls produce lots of strange characters and hitting the up arrow does not go to previous commands.
View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Open Emacs In Its Own Window
Aug 20, 2010I am doing some project work and for that using the server at college with ssh connection. Every time I try to open emacs on the terminal after connecting, it opens emacs in the terminal itself i.e. not its own window. On my laptop on which ubuntu is installed, emacs always opens up in its own window an thats how I am used to it. There are several problems when it opens in the terminal like when I try to use commands such as M-V, actually terminal's view menu opens up, its very frustrating. Also I am pretty sure that the college server runs on red hat and has X installed on it. So what do I need to do to get my emacs window back.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Web Search Engines And Emacs / Vim
Nov 8, 2010The facilities offered by any text editor to look for a string are highly superior to those offered by search engines such as that of Google or the one used by LQ>Search. To only speak of the most one elementary that comes to my mind, you can reach 'john smith' by searching with the string 'hn smi' in any decente editor, but I know of no search engine that offers this feature.
On the other hand, I have always heard of the power of Vim and Emacs. For instance, they say there is no thing Emacs cannot do. Lets advocate to the job of adding Google searches the ability to find 'john smith' by using 'hn smi' as the matching pattern. Or to add regular expression capabilities. Could I use Vim/Emacs to solve this problem?
A little light into the meaning of my words: It would be Vim/Emacs the one in charge of making the Internet connection, connecting to Google and send appropriate commands go Google. Then, to look for my string, I would be directly using Vim/Emacs which, upon receiving my commands, would send the appropriate ones to Google and return control to me.
