I dont know what an .mm file is but you can see my working setup here in
case it helps you or some others.

http://richardriley.net/projects/emacs/dotprogramming#sec-1.2

(FWIW, just listing key strokes without the name of the commands is not a
good thing since key strokes can and do change)

With this setup I also have some code to generate cscope databases:

,----
| SRC=~/programming
| cd $SRC
| ctags-exuberant  -e --recurse=yes --links=yes --verbose=no > /dev/null
| find -L $SRC -name "*.[chxsS]" -print > cscope.files
| cscope -b -q -u
| 
| SRC=~/programming/c
| cd $SRC
| ctags-exuberant  -e --recurse=yes --links=yes --verbose=no > /dev/null
| find -L $SRC -name "*.[chxsS]" -print > cscope.files
| cscope -b -q -u
`----

(The Linux kernel has a cscope target in it's Makefile)

Cscope is a nice tool.
