Hi,
I came from borland's world, this's the first time that I use Emacs and I would like to configure it as C/C++ IDE. I've it middle configured but I want some other adjustments that I've not been able to do yet.
- I like the reserved words green and bold: int, float, double, char, void, return etc...
- # directive in green color: #include, #pragma, #ifndef, etc...
- Strings in blue color
- Integers and floats in red color
- Actiavte Cut/Copy/Paste (Ctrl+X/Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V) and Undo (Ctrl+Z)
- Save (Ctrl+S)
- Vertical Scroll Bar on the right side of the windows
Hope you can point me in the right direction,
Thanks in advance

I haven't configured the display of cc-mode.

By default, it's C-w, M-w, C-y and C-/.
Save C-x C-s.
C-x, C-c, C-v, C-z and C-s are very important in emacs. If you change
them, You may be confused when you use other features.
C-x and C-c are prefix keys, I don't know how to change them.
If you need to change some key bindings, global-unset-key and
global-set-key can help you. Some other related functions are define-key
local-set-key ...
C-h C-h shows you the help for help.

I'm also a newbie, but I don't think the default key bindings bring me
troubles.

Invoke M-x describe-text-properties RET on any character in such a
faulty coloured world and change either the colour of the "face" or
choose another face and use it as a new binding. It all can be done
with the customisation interface.

Again, investigate which customisations GNU Emacs offers. M-x list-
colors-display RET can give you hints how the name of a colour looks
like.

There is a cua called mode I deliberately never use.

I'd rather change manners! C-s or incremental-search or isearch is
too important. (But you can change key bindings. Look into the
manual: C-h i m Emacs RET)

How comes that you have it on the wrong side? M-x info-apropos RET
scrollbar RET will give you a hypertext menu of documentation on the
keyword. You can achieve things for example by:
(setq default-frame-alist
(append (list
'(vertical-scroll-bars . left)
) default-frame-alist))
(There are also other means to manipulate default-frame-alist or
initial-frame-alist – and of course members!)
Besides, it's mostly useful to read the tutorial: C-h t. Or look into
the menus (Options for example, that has "Customize Emacs"), here
particularly Help.

Isn't the left side default? At least on debian it is...
Greets,

In Mac OS X and Solaris and (ancient) SunOS/Sunview it's right – and
I bet, it's in MS Losedos the same! I'm also pretty sure that Fedora
Core prefers right – it has to do with right-handedness of people.

I'm using freeBSD 7.1 + Xfce4 and the Emcas comes by default on the left side and I prefer it on the right.
I already solved it, thanks...
