Hi,
I googl'ed a lot and didn't find it: how can I change the default
"insert path" (ctrl-x i) from /tmp to e.g. /home/gerlach ?
M-: (setq default-directory "/home/gerlach/") RET
i state today that its any longer working! Default directory is /tmp
once again. At least in Why?
my /home/gerlach/.emacs
(setq fill-column 50)
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace)
(setq default-directory "/home/gerlach/")
BTW: (setq fill-column 50) is ignored. Even if I insert 20 instead of
50. Why?
The .emacs file is found and read, the proof: when I produce a error like
(setq asdasdfasdfasdf fill-column 50) the error is claimed by emacs at
start.
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace) is also
ignored. I have to execute the command explicitely.
Then I want to enable php highlightning with my old emacs (Suse 11.1,
don't know the version) this worked fine:
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append
'( (".*\.php$" .html-mode) (".*\.php$" .html-mode)
)
auto-mode-alist))
In my actual emacs 23.3.1 nothing works ... even not default-directory
"/home/gerlach/" ... incredible ... WHY?
I use emacs in text mode (-nw) only.
