pdflatex short-cut keys

pdflatex short-cut keys

[Christian_Yale]

hi there,

I want to have a short-cut key for running latex (under pdf mode) in
emacs22, then i do not need to click the icon (the lion one, where
appear 'Run LaTeX' if you put the mouse over it) for doing so. I put
the following in my .emacs file, but it did not work (i wanted to get
"ALT+t" to run latex):

 (list "pdfLaTeX" "pdflatex '\\nonstopmode\\input{%t}'" 'TeX-run-LaTeX
nil t)

        (global-set-key "\M-t" 'do-pdflatex)
        (defun do-pdflatex ()
              "pdflatex the current file."
              (interactive)
              (TeX-command "pdfLaTeX" 'TeX-master-file))

but, is not working at all, I mean when i "ALT+t" appear a message (in
emacs) that says

Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
!!
Ps: about my PC-emacs stuff
I use emacs22 (under ubuntu-linux 7.10), with auctex and ess, to be
able to compile LaTeX and R files from only one program.
Within emacs22 i have installed ECB (http://ecb.sourceforge.net/) and
Org-Mode (http://orgmode.org/), and I also use subversion (http://
subversion.tigris.org/) as the basis of
project and R code version control.

if the file was modified from the last time latex was run, that will do the
trick. C-c C-c is also the proper way to run other commands, such as
opening viewers and a couple of other things.

the default binding of M-t is way too useful to rebind it to anything
else. IHMO you'd better stick to the shortcut keys that AUCTeX provides by
default, there's good reason why they're set up the way they are.

i'm not entirely sure what you're trying to accomplish here.

somewhere a function is getting an argument of nil where a stringp is
expected. you'll probably have to dig a little to find out where.

When I do C-c C-c RET "pdflatex" is not on the list! 
Q1 What is the right command similar to external command pdflatex?
Q2 How do I get it on the list for C-c C-c RET?

In menu Command -> TeXing Options you have choices. You always use  
the LaTeX command, and depending on the output mode chosen and  
reflected in mode-line either PDF or DVI is created. (BTW, modern TeX  
distribution all use pdfTeX.)

In LaTeX menu you have the item 'Read the AUCTeX Manual', C-c TAB. So  
you'll never see pdfLaTeX in the Command menu – except you customise it.

I use the following to generate specialized latex functions:

(defun tex-build-command-function (cmd &optional recenter-output-buffer save-buffer override-confirm)
  "Build a TeX-command function."
   (` (lambda()
        (interactive)
        (when (, save-buffer) (save-buffer))
        (when (, recenter-output-buffer) (TeX-recenter-output-buffer nil))
        (TeX-command (, cmd) 'TeX-master-file (if (, override-confirm) 1 -1)))))

(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [f6] (tex-build-command-function "LaTeX" nil t))
(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [(shift f6)] (tex-build-command-function "PdfLaTeX" t t))
(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [(super f6)] (tex-build-command-function "dviPS" t))
(when unixp (define-key LaTeX-mode-map [(meta f6)] (tex-build-command-function "dviPS" t)))

(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [(super control f6)] (tex-build-command-function "dviPS landscape" t))
(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [(super meta f6)] (tex-build-command-function "PS2pdf" t))
(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [f8] (tex-build-command-function (if win32p "YAP" "View") nil))
(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [(super f8)] (tex-build-command-function "Ghostview" nil))
(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [(super meta f8)] (tex-build-command-function "View PDF" nil))

Re: pdflatex short-cut keys

[David Rod]

what is meant by the key as super
does your code interfere with any of the functions or keybindings in latex-mode?

I use the windows-keys to gain some extra keybindings:

(setq w32-pass-lwindow-to-system nil
      w32-pass-rwindow-to-system nil)

(setq w32-lwindow-modifier 'super)  ; lwindow acts as super
(setq w32-rwindow-modifier 'hyper)  ; rwindow acts as hyper

No, I define some extra keybindings.

To get back to your question. If you want to run PdfLatex via M-t, you could use the following:

(defun tex-build-command-function (cmd &optional recenter-output-buffer save-buffer override-confirm)
  "Build a TeX-command function."
   (` (lambda()
        (interactive)
        (when (, save-buffer) (save-buffer))
        (when (, recenter-output-buffer) (TeX-recenter-output-buffer nil))
        (TeX-command (, cmd) 'TeX-master-file (if (, override-confirm) 1 -1)))))

(define-key LaTeX-mode-map [(meta ?t)] (tex-build-command-function "PdfLaTeX" t t))

A precondition is, that PdfLaTeX is available via C-c C-c

I was not aware of different output modes.  I only knew of one.  Now I
have learned something.

Another option is to add "pdftex" (without the quotes) to the options
you pass to \documentclass. That's always worked just fine for me.
