4. Personal Environment
4.1 I want use Alt key not as Meta, but as Alt key itself.
Put
| | (w32-set-modifier-key 18 nil)
(w32-set-modifier-key 18 'none)

Note that Alt key generates M-x when you write the first line only.

- To add into default-frame-alist:
| | (setq default-frame-alist
'(append (list '(menu-bar . nil)
(vertical-scroll-bars . nil))
default-frame-alist))
|
- To configure independently:
| | (menu-bar-mode -1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
|

Put
| | (setq indent-line-function
'indent-relative-maybe)
|
in your `.emacs'. Then C-j will automatically indent the
next line to the indentation of the previous line, except for some modes
that re-binds indent-line-function.
4.9 I want to switch the color of the cursor color according to IME status.
Put following codes into your `.emacs':
| | (add-hook 'mw32-ime-on-hook
(function (lambda () (set-cursor-color "red"))))
(add-hook 'mw32-ime-off-hook
(function (lambda () (set-cursor-color "black"))))
|
4.10 How do I customize Meadow more likely to Windows applications?
You can use C-c, C-v, C-x, etc. with
CUA-mode.
You can also use pc-bindings-mode and pc-selection-mode, which come with
Meadow. For more detail, type C-h f (describe-function) and refer
to the respective description of the mode.
4.11 How do I get rid of *Message* buffer?
To keep from increasing *Message* buffer, put
| | (setq message-log-max nil)
|
in your `.emacs'.
To get rid of the *Message* buffer itself, put
in your `.emacs'.
4.12 I want Meadow to delete the whole line when I type one C-k at the beginning of a line.
Put
in your `.emacs'.
4.13 How can I display the mode-line in a different font?

| | (set-face-font 'modeline "FONTSET-NAME")
|
in your `.emacs'. Change FONTSET-NAME according to your taste.

display-time-mode.

(set-face-background 'modeline "white")
|
4.16 Where can I find the list of colors to use for "face"?
You can find in $MEADOW/$VERSION/etc/rgb.txt.
4.17 I don't want Meadow to insert a new line when I do next-line at the end of a buffer.
Put
| | (setq next-line-add-newlines nil)
|
in your `.emacs'.
4.18 How do I bind C-, and C-. to scrolling by one line?
Put the following code to your `.emacs':
| | (defun scroll-up-one-line ()
(interactive)
(scroll-up 1))
(defun scroll-down-one-line ()
(interactive)
(scroll-down 1))
(global-set-key [?\C-,] 'scroll-up-one-line)
(global-set-key [?\C-.] 'scroll-down-one-line)
|
4.19 How do I stop Meadow from warning `beginning-of-buffer' when I do previous-line at the beginning of a buffer.
Put the following code to your `.emacs':
| | (defun previous-line (arg)
(interactive "p")
(if (interactive-p)
(condition-case nil
(line-move (- arg))
((beginning-of-buffer end-of-buffer)))
(line-move (- arg)))
nil)
|
4.20 I cannot set a hook well with (setq xxx-hook yyyy).
It would be overridden by other setting of the hook. Use `add-hook' to
set a hook. It is recommended to do like as
| | (add-hook 'c-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq tab-width 4)))
|
This code adds the function at the beginning of the hook. If you
specify `t' as the third argument of add-hook, the function will be
added to the end of the hook.
4.21 How do I make a frame only for minibuffer?
| | (setq default-minibuffer-frame
(make-frame '((name . "Minibuffer")
(minibuffer . only)
(width . 95)
(height . 1)
(left . 0)
(top . -1)
(auto-raise . t)))
default-frame-alist
'((minibuffer . nil)
(width . 80)
(height . 40)
(auto-raise . t)))
|
4.22 How do I stop Emacs from beeping on a terminal?
Put
in your `.emacs' to tell Meadow to use 'visible bell' instead of
the audible bell. A quarter of the display blinks to notify the error.
4.23 How do I change the beep sound?
You can change it with
SOUND must be one of 'asterisk, 'exclamation, 'hand, 'question,
'ok, or nil. Nil means the ordinary beep sound.
