Emacs shortcut key for compiling
 

I am using Emacs for compiling my C++ code. And I have to keep clicking the compile menu. Is there any shortcut key for the compile options? Thanks for your help!

According to the link CTRL + F7 "Creates an object file containing machine code, linker directives, sections, external references, and function/data names for the selected file." Well that's just neato. :)

sorry, i'm using Fedora Core 4 as my OS.

I check the internet, some people said the file ".emacs" must be edited. But where is it?

I have found the solution!

I create my own ".emacs.el" file and put it in the directory "usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/"
because my "site-start.el" file specify that is the directory where it will read the ".emacs.el"
