Gettin The Sweet Sauce 64

^^ Good catch (I guess I hadn't tried the "left" arrow...because I hadn't seen that one.) Fixed and pushed. ;)

edit: I had to check my killx/rsi .emacs as well. I got it right there, but I apologize if this one caused any trouble with the left-button press on iswitch.

No trouble at all, just a small exercise for me.

Using Emacs in X, is it possible to force it on gtk2? Now it opens like this:

Code: Select all

This is GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.4)

Edit: recompiling it with --with-x-toolkit=gtk2 should do it.

Seems Debian made it depend on Gtk3 libraries.

@GekkoP: Have you tested if the above mentioned does force it to use gtk2? The Debian package is now pulling in libgtk-3-0. Obviously, if you have a working answer for getting around this, then I'm sure that it would be worth sharing.

I'm still using the nox version most of the time, because there's really just not that much difference in how I use each of them.

And there's -lucid but it's fugly. I would, if you don't have other libgtk-3-0 depending apps, purge libgtk3-0 and take the nox version. For the toolbar there's still F10.

Since I'm using Numix as GTK theme, Emacs is fine cause this theme has gtk3 support. I haven't compiled it yet, but I will soon on another machine and check if forcing gtk2 make a difference. I'll let you know.

^ haven't forgot about this. Compiled Emacs 24 with gtk2 instead of gtk3. All working good.

Well, once again I have to say "thank you, DebianJoe". Going through the Emacs Lips manual laltely (eintr, so far) and really enjoying it. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Also, doing the exercises using scratch buffer like you suggest is really a neat trick.

Forgot the usual scrot:

Trying out Stumpwm for fun. Following Joe's instructions on how to get it, I ended up with a "Component STUMPWM not found" error. If anyone's interested in this wm, I managed to compile it and run it with this command:

Code: Select all

env CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=$PWD: sbcl --load make-image.lisp
