I just upgraded my ubuntu system to Hardy Heron, which has emacs 23 as
the default emacs, instead of emacs 22.

I had been using the TeX input method for occasional non-ascii
characters, such as é or ü.

This no longer works for me, because the default seems to be that
after you've typed a backslash, it goes on reading several characters,
and I always end up with something in Chinese or Japanese when I've
tried to type an é.

I don't read, and certainly don't type, Chinese. How do I tell the
TeX input method:

To stop accepting input when the character I want appears in the
mini-buffer?

or:

That in general I'm going to be using two-character sequences for
Latin alphabets, and not typing Chinese?

I have been using emacs 21.4.1 on Debian Etch for about a year now, and have installed plenty of extra packages.
I often use tramp (2.0.54) to edit files on my desktop from my laptop.
Today I installed emacs 22.2.1 after reading good things about it.
However, whenever it starts up tramp automatically tries to connect to my desktop, and asks me for my password.
How can I stop this behaviour?
Also I am not sure about the best way to copy packages over from my emacs 21 installation to my emacs 22 installation.
Should I copy the entire contents of the site-lisp directory?
Alternatively I could alter the load-path variable in .emacs, but I think this could get a bit messy as my load-path is rather long.
Is there any way to add lots of dirs at once, or tell it to include all subdirs, or do I...

Sorry for the noise, please disregard. I need to determine whether I'm
able to post from the office.

I used to have everything in one .emacs file.

Now I've split it up into various files for different systems (I use
Mac OS X and GNU/Linux).

This is my .emacs file:

;; Check to see if running on Mac OS X or some GNU/Linux distro
(defvar macosx-p (string-match "darwin" (symbol-name system-type)))
(defvar linux-p (string-match "gnu/linux" (symbol-name system-type)))

;; Load stuff for GNU/Linux systems only
(when linux-p
(setq load-path (append load-path (list "~/emacs/lisp/linux"))))

;; Load stuff for Mac OS X only
(when macosx-p
(setq load-path (append load-path (list "~/emacs/lisp/macosx"))))

;; Load OS-independant stuff
(setq load-path (append load-path (list "~/emacs/lisp/generic")))

;; Load extra major modes (to top of load-path so loads first)
(setq load-path (cons "~/emacs/lisp/generic/org" load-path))

Hi, now that I updated to emacs 22.2 I can't work with paths which
contain symbols like 'á', for example, when, in dired, I try to update
"~/Matemáticas/" an error message appears in the minibuffer saying
that it can't find "~/Matem\201áticas". Nothing appears in *Messages*
and I just don't know what could be, it used to work fine and now the
only problem is that, not input or anything else. Any help?

Basic Question: How can I use my mouse buttons as C-/M- Keys?

If you are interested, please read on...

Hi!

I am quite new to emacs (just a few months). On my thinkpad, which is
my
main computer by now, the mouse buttons are conveniently located under
my
thumbs. So I wanted to use them in combination with keys to act like
Control
(Button 1 and 3) and Meta (2) keys.

I tried several things and asked in several places for advice.
Nothing really worked.

- Using xbindkeys: Converting every single combination.
- Using gpm: Does not seem to provide the needed functionality.
- Using emacs: (global-set-key [mouse-2] '...)

The xbindkeys way nearly worked: It would do the first command in each
session, but subsequently not work anymore ;(.

Hi,

I have a problem with Ocatve Mode. C-x C-h (or M-x octave-help) does not work.
It seems that octave-hlp.el cannot find the entrys, so no symbol can be
described. However, the variable octave-help-files is set to "octave". Maybe
this is a bug in my distribution?
I use openSUSE 10.2, and I get no error message, but as stated above I cannot
get help on anything.

At another system running Debian (Sarge) I get the error message
"Info-find-node: Info file octave does not exist", but on the bash "info octave"
shows the info file. However, it is not shown in M-x info (info-mode) inside emacs?

Any tips?

Greets,
Christian

Hi!

I've installed emacs 22.2 with these steps: (from $(history) )

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --infodir=/usr/info
--mandir=/usr/man --with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-gif
--with-png --with-gtk --with-x

make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/pkg-emacs

(removed the /usr/info/dir, gzipped the infos, etc. etc., but no chmod)

makepkg -l y -c n ../emacs-22.2-i686-marco1.tgz

(I'm on Slackware)

and

upgradepkg emacs-22.2-i686-marco1.tgz

This is what I get:
19:46] root@universe:/tmp/emacs-22.2# ls -l /usr/share/emacs/22.2/
