Tab expansion of variables, Folding and other features

Tab expansion of variables, Folding and other features

[lichtkind]

Hello,

I use gnu emacs 22.3.1.

Is there a way to customize something like:
- Tab-expansion of variables
- Folding/Outlines of source code for example in cperl
- Tabbars like in firefox or jedit
- automatic save windows (desktop.el saves only frames, desktopaid.el
does not wok, too.)
- a way to show xml-files like in firefox. Special with the
possibility of folding. I have tried nxml, but didn't find a way.. .
- when I first run jedit, and then call jedit with a file over the
shell, the file opens in the already opened jedit. I want the  same
with emacs. Until now it always start a new frame.

Best regards
lichtkind

Yes, see EmacsWiki.

Yes. See hs-minor-mode in Emacs.

Yes, but there are other options, see EmacsWiki (or nXhtml where I
include the version I find best ;-)

Yes, see winsav.el in nXhtml.

There is folding in nxml-mode, but maybe it is a bit difficult to use.
I have included another version in nXhtml. (Did I release that version
yet?)

See emacsclient.

I do not believe session.el save windows and frames config. Does it
really do that?

It does *not*, of course, but it saves buffers, histories,... A  
combination of desktop and session is sufficient – at least for me,  
who knows how to find a buried buffer.

They're putting dimes in the hole in my head to see the change in me.

I thought lichtkind asked for something that saved windows so I just
was a bit surprised. What does session.el offer that desktop.el does
not offer today?

Histories? Kill ring? Text cursor position in the buffer? The last  
few years I did not check whether I could live without session.el...
