Cut and open commands?

Cut and open commands?

[saneman]

I would like to redefine cut and open to: C-x and C-o regardless of the 
built in definitions. But I cannot redefine cut:

(global-set-key "\C-x" 'kill)

when I select some text and press C-x I just get:

symbols function definition is void:kill

And what are the function called that opens a new file?


Currently I have to press C-space to start a mark in the text that I can 
use to select some text. Is it possible to just redefine to shift 
instead of C-space?

Problems solved. Now I only need to find a way to use the shift modifier 
for set-mark-command:


(global-set-key "\S" 'set-mark-command)

S does not not work. Have tried Shift but that does not work either. Is 
shift not part of the keymap in emacs?

Don't cripple your emacs yourself, use cua-mode.

,----[ C-h f cua-mode RET ]

When I type:

C-h f cua-mode

followed by enter I get:

[No match]

I have installed: emacs-goodies-el where I can see that cua is listed, 
but I still get the error.

You have to load it; make sure the .el file is in your load-path (M-x
describe-variable RET load-path) and then use (require 'emacs-goodies).
I'm guessing you're using a Debian system, so it probably installed into
your load-path and all you need is the require statement in your .emacs.

I have added this to my .emacs file:


(setq load-path (cons "~/work/mylisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el" 
load-path))


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Load .el files
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

(require 'emacs-goodies)




But I get the error:

File error: "Cannot open load file", "emacs-goodies"

So even though I have added the directory:
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el

To the load-path, its not found.

Sorry I forgot to mention: use add-to-list as in

(add-to-list 'load-path
	     (expand-file-name "~/lisp/el/"))

I still get the same error. This is how my .emacs file looks:


;;; Emacs Load Path
(setq load-path (cons "~/work/mylisp" load-path))

(add-to-list 'load-path
	     (expand-file-name "/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el"))


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Load .el files
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

(require 'emacs-goodies)




I have tried to comment out:

(add-to-list 'load-path
	     (expand-file-name "/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el"))

and then print the content of my load-path with:

M-x describe-variable RET load-path

and the result is:

load-path's value is
("~/work/mylisp" "/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el" 
"/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common" "/etc/emacs21" 
"/etc/emacs" "/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp" 
"/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp/dictionaries-common" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el" 
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/leim" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/toolbar" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/textmodes" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/progmodes" "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/play" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/obsolete" "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/net" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/mail" "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/language" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/international" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/gnus" "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/eshell"

"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/emacs-lisp" 
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/calendar")

As can be seen the /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el path is 
already in my load-path without adding it in my .emacs file. So the 
error must have something to do with the:

(require 'emacs-goodies)

command...

This code:

(add-to-list 'load-path
	     (expand-file-name "/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el"))
is wrong

And this one as Peter told you is wrong also:

(require 'emacs-goodies)

You have to add to load-path a directory and not a file
You have to require a name of file without the extension (what is in
provide at the end of this file) and not a directory.

/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el

is a directory containing the file (symlink):

emacs-goodies-el.el

> You have to require a name of file without the extension (what is in

this made it work:
(require 'emacs-goodies-el)

instead of:
(require 'emacs-goodies)

Can you load cua-mode with "M-x cua-mode"?

Is this package ("emacs-goodies-el") comaptible with your version of
Emacs?  Emacs 22 has been out for a long time now.

Is this your system?  Perhaps you should upgrade to Emacs 22 --- it's
quite an improvement.  I'm already using Emacs 23 ;)

Ok I have installed:

emacs
emacs21
emacs22

cua-mode works when I run emacs22.

As default emacs 21.4a is used. I thought it was the latest stable 
release and that and emacs22 was unstable.

Even Emacs from CVS is pretty darn stable.  I've been using it for
months without problems.  It's crashed once in a while (maybe once a
month), but I have never lost data.

Just curious: Why led you to think that Emacs 22 is unstable?

You can only require what has been provided before.

Not every ELisp files provides itself. Check your emacs-goodies'  
provision! Load will always work.

You need to use CUA-mode for the cua version in emacs-goodies-el.  Or
upgrade to Emacs 22, where the cua package is included and you can type
cua-mode in lowercase letters.
