c++ programming utilities

[william xuuu]

Hi,I'm trying to get several utilities to work, but meet some
problems. (I'm using Emacs21.3.1 in console mode).

1.speedbar: From its info, "When used in terminal mode, the new frame
appears the same size as the terminal." Is there any way to make it
appear in the right side of current buffer without starting a new frame?
And, when i press "=" to display sub items, it always tries to fold
itself quickly, strange?!

2.semantic-ia: 

     class C
     {
     public:
          int aacc;
          int aabb;
     };

     C x;
     x.a

At last line, trying "M-x senator-complete-symbol", it circles between
x.aacc and x.aabb, fine. But trying "M-x semantic-ia-complete-symbol", it
complains:  

   No context of type function to advance in.

by the way , I've turned on semantic-auto-parse-mode and
semantic-summary-mode.

Finally, how to bind "M-tab"? I've tried several different ways, all
failed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

On what OS and with what terminal type/emulator?

Emacs-version: GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of
2003-11-01 on raven, modified by Debian

OS: Linux 2.6.3 i686 GNU/Linux

Oh, today i found a command M-x repeat-complex-command, which helped me
solve a bit: 

      (local-set-key "^[ " 'cmd) 

Wow, the "^[ " stands for ESC TAB, any other methods? And, I find it's
impossible to bind ESC TAB globally, though i don't need that actually.

You can use (kbd "ESC TAB") or (kbd "M-TAB") instead of "^[ ", I
think that's more intuitive.

You can use global-set-key instead of local-set-key to bind the key
globally.  But some modes may override this binding, so you also need
to bind the key locally in those modes.

Or [(meta tab)] e.g. (local-set-key [(meta tab)] 'foo)

That still doesn't tell what terminal emulator you are using.  Is it
xterm or the Linux console (or something else)?

"[?\M-\t]" should work as well.

Got it. Actually, I've tried (kbd "ESC TAB"), (kbd "M-TAB"), [(meta
tab)]. Now i see why i failed, it's because that i used global-set-key
for testing "ESC TAB", unfortunately, nearly every mode has its own
local key bindings with "ESC TAB", so that's the point. Thanks, all.

You can try ECB, which can host speedbar in that way.

I do not see this problem in terminal mode nor under X.  Is anything
else going on?

The senator based function looks for the nearest string and completes
on that based on all symbols in the current file.  You can also use
hippie-expand to get to that senator functionality.

The ia-complete functions use a local context analyzer instead, which
means the only provided options are what semantic thinks belongs
there, including symbols from outside the local file.

Because you have no closing brace on your class, there is no local
context because it cannot determine where you are (in a function,
variable, comment, etc.)

This is a problem that would be nice to solve someday, but for now,
you just need to complete your {} blocks.
