key binding two commands

key binding two commands

[Kester Clegg]

Trying to bind C-c C-c so that while I'm editing latex files with auctex
it will save each time I compile the file.

I have:

(defun save-and-compileTex () ; automatic save and compile
  (save-buffer)
  (TeX-command-master))

(global-set-key "\C-c \C-c" 'save-and-compileTex) 

but it doesn't work.  What's wrong?

It makes no sense to use a global binding for this command.
(Additionally, your function should be renamed to, say kg-... (wrong
namespace)).

(add-hook 
 'TeX-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
   (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-c") 'save-and-compileTex)))

But a better solution IMHO would be to advice `TeX-command-master':

(defadvice TeX-command-master (around rs-TeX-command-master-save activate)
  "Save buffer before `TeX-command-master'"
  (message "Saving buffer")
  (save-buffer)
  ad-do-it)

Bye, Reiner.

Excellent - thanks for that.

If there aren't any forms after ad-do-it, you can just define a before
advice (and vice versa):

(defadvice TeX-command-master (before save-buffer activate)
   "Save the buffer first."
   (save-buffer))

I guess the best solution is...

,----[ C-h v TeX-save-query RET ]
| TeX-save-query's value is t
| 
| Documentation:
| *If non-nil, ask user for permission to save files before starting TeX.
`----

I intended to add this to AUCTeX, but it was already there. :-)

Bye, Reiner.
