Emacs mode in Eclipse
If you are an Emacs user and find yourself in Eclipse 3.1, do yourself a favor and follow these directions:
- Goto Window-> Preferences
- Choose General, then Keys underneath it
- Choose the Modify Tab. On the Scheme drop-down, choose Emacs
Now you can do C-p, C-k, etc. to your heart’s content. Note that now C-space is now M-/ — like you would expect it to be. You, dear Emacs user, will now find that life is much better.
Thanks. The emacs support seems pretty poor in Eclipse 3.4 unfortunately. By default, killing doesn’t always put text on the clipboard — C-k kills a line (even multiple lines) and copies it, but Alt-d just kills words without putting them on the clipboard. Ctrl+/ isn’t mapped to undo either.
