Starting Emacs in Full-Mode on Windows

Posted on March 3, 2011 by admin

Just a quick one: if you start Emacs on Windows (on probably also on other systems) it opens not in full-mode. After some googling I found this in the Emacs-FAQ for the .emacs file:

(add-hook ‘term-setup-hook #'(lambda () (w32-send-sys-command ?\xF030)))

Simple but effective.

Update of Gams-Tex

Posted on January 31, 2011 by admin

Edson Valle sent me an update for Gams-Tex (see my blog from 28. Januari) where he showed how to add new keywords to the Gams-Tex file (here done for the MPSGE keywords):

Just add the following lines to the gams theme file (theme_gams.tex) after the moreKeywords={

$PROD, $DEMAND, $AUXILIARY, $COMMODITIES, $SECTORS, $CONSUMERS, $MODEL, $REPORT,

It’ll become automatically case insensitive due to the options selected.

OrgMode on my iPhone: MobileOrg and Dropbox

It has some nice features:

New update of Gams-Mode (3.6)

Posted on January 28, 2011 by admin

There is a update for Gams-mode. It contains some bug fixes and a nice new feature: If you hit C-u C-c C-. you can search for an identifier. It finds the parameter and has several options like jump to the next occurrence, jump to the file, split the screen and also show the file where gams-mode found the parameter. All these possibilities are described at the bottom-line and are self-explaining (“decl” shows the declaration of the identifier).
