beep

[Teemu Pennanen]

Hello,

Is this a bug in emacs: every now and then when I'm editing a LaTeX file
with emacs and try to make a superscript in math-mode with "^", I get a
beep istead of the character. This problem seems to come out of the blue,
and nothing seems to help. When it happens, I have to restart emacs, and 
sometimes even that doesn't work. Could it be that I'm causing it somehow 
myself? 

I'm running emacs in RedHat Linux 6.2. 

Best,

It is hard to debug a problem that we can't reproduce.  If you can
find a way to reproduce it, please send another bug report.

Please read the Bugs section in the Emacs manual, which provides
guidelines on how to write a bug report to give us the
necessary information so we can fix the bug.

   How do I change or switch off this annoying beep emacs plays for
   nearly everything?

You do it by reading the lovely Emacs manual.

>From (emacs)Display Vars

   If the variable `visible-bell' is non-`nil', Emacs attempts to make
the whole screen blink when it would normally make an audible bell
sound.  This variable has no effect if your terminal does not have a way
to make the screen blink.

Put this in your .emacs:

(setq visible-bell t)

(setq visible-bell t)

Or alternatively, if you just want it to be less nearly everything

(setq ring-bell-function
      (lambda ()
	(unless (memq this-command
		      '(isearch-abort abort-recursive-edit exit-minibuffer
				      keyboard-quit)) ;; add extra commands here!
	  (ding))))
