emacs buffer !
hi all~
I am start using emacs these days, and because I was with windows texteditor before(ie, EditPlus) and got confused when transfered myself to emacs. i noticed when i was coding with somewhat file it will automatically create a temporaly buffer file like myFile.cpp~, what did it mean and can emacs avoid creating them ? thanx in advance~ |
Open or create a file called .emacs on your home directory and add the line below:
Code:
(setq make-backup-files nil) Notice that the ~ suffix is the equivalent of the .BAK in Windows/DOS world. In case you acidentally change and save an important file, you can always revert back from the ~ file. This already saved me from big headaches. In other words, emacs create those files for your own protection, so I advise you to think twice before disabling this feature. It's so easy to do a "rm *~" at the end of the day, so why risk? |
thanx afm i think i may keep backup files as they were.
and here are some new problems i'd appreciate your help :) 1 now i am editing c++ file with emacs, is there any way to make emacs highlighted for c++ or other syntax ? 2 and, when i save a c++ source file test.cpp, how to invoke certain compiler to compile it ? 3 in windows i can select certain region by pressing Shift key and moveing cursor together, and how can we select region in emacs ? 4 cut, copy and paste have no shortcut keys ??? i can only see something like "(<cut>)" etc. 5 some commands like colose file etc are usually used, but by default there are no shortcut keys for them, can i customize it ? 6 anywhere can i change indent size ??? default seems to be 8 spaces, but i prefer 4 instead~ |
question 4 solved, how about others ? help~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
