Emacs快速入门

Emacs快速入门

Ubuntu初安装时，其时是有emacs图形界面和emacs终端界面两个快捷方式的。你只需要用鼠标点击就可以进入相应的模式。

不过如果你真心开始想用emacs，相信会有更便捷的方式，比如在终端输入emacs -nw，我们可以查emacs的帮助文档来看一眼这个-nw参数是什么意思（--no-window-system, -nw），如下

打开emacs的帮助文档：emacs --help

另外对于emacs，我想说的是，其实常用的命令并不多，花几小时就能熟悉，熟练掌握也不难，但需要经常使用，不然肯定会忘记掉。

emacs --help
Usage: emacs [OPTION-OR-FILENAME]...
​
Run Emacs, the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time
display editor.  The recommended way to start Emacs for normal editing
is with no options at all.
​
Run M-x info RET m emacs RET m emacs invocation RET inside Emacs to
read the main documentation for these command-line arguments.

You can generally also specify long option names with a single -; for
example, -batch as well as --batch.  You can use any unambiguous
abbreviation for a --option.
​
Various environment variables and window system resources also affect
the operation of Emacs.  See the main documentation.

Emacs命令的格式

通常你可以找到一些emacs的cheat sheet，这里面会有大量的命令描述，所以弄清楚这些命令代表哪些按键是最基本的要求，最常用的组合通常有下面这些，

• C-n ：最常用的命令格式（n为任意字符）

• ESC n ：次常用的命令格式（n为任意字符）

• C-x something ： （通常为文件操作类）

• C-c something ： （通常与某些特殊的编辑模式有关）

按键             含义
C-g              表示Ctrl+g组合键，即C代表Crtl
RETURN     回车键，即enter
META          ESC(或Alt)键
ESC x         先按下ESC，再按下x键，注意先后顺序
S-right        按下shift键，同时按下按下鼠标右键
C-S-right    按下shift键，同时按下ctrl键和鼠标右键

注：

• 每个emacs都有完整的名字，如：forward-word命令即按下ESC f

• 当发现一个命令有全名，却没有对应的按键时，可以先输入ESC x，再输入相应的全名，回车后即执行。

• META键很特殊，在sun工作站上空格两边即为此按键，但是在大多数键盘上这个按键并不存在，其功能基本上与ESC等价，在某些键盘上与Alt通用。

• META与ESC的区别在于：

  • META的组合命令在按键的同时输入，同时放开键

  • ESC的组合命令先按ESC，松开后输入其余内容。

 

Emacs打开方式

（图形界面） 在终端界面输入：

$ emacs hello.c   或   $ emacs

如果你想要在终端使用字符界面，如前所述，在终端界面输入：

$ emacs -nw hello.c

即可。

常用的命令

常用的命令这里只列一下，其实你只要在网上搜索emacs cheatsheet就可以找到这些ＰＤＦ文件，当然也有emacs cheatsheet的墙纸。下面这个链接就提供了不少漂亮的墙纸，你可以根据你的电脑显示器的尺寸去下载，做桌面也是挺不错的，

(资料：https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryReferenceSheet)

顺便说一下，emacswiki（https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs）是个非常不错的中文学习网站。

M-x cd：切换当前工作目录(这个命令cheatsheet里居然没有，特别列出来)

一般情况下，当使用‘C-x C-f’命令时，你看到的是 home directory，如果要切换目录，请使用“M-x cd”命令

如果你要设定emacs的启动目录，可以使用command-line-default-directory，我的`.emacs`配置文件看起就是这样的

(custom-set-variables
 ;; the below lines are for color theme setting
 '(ansi-color-faces-vector
   [default default default italic underline success warning error])
 '(ansi-color-names-vector
   ["#2e3436" "#a40000" "#4e9a06" "#c4a000" "#204a87" "#5c3566" "#729fcf" "#eeeeec"])
 '(custom-enabled-themes (quote (wheatgrass))))

(custom-set-faces)

(setq command-line-default-directory "~/devc/emacsdir" )

In order to achive some of the feats coming up now you have to run etags *.c *.h *.cpp (or what ever ending you source files have) in the source directory
