Recent emacs annoyances
Somehow I’ve set two things in my emacs environment that are driving me batty.
- RoR mode jump to end of buffer on file access. I’m working on some rails file, check my changes in the browser (refresh), and when my file is accessed, emacs jumps to the end of the active buffer and sets the mark. Ugh.
- shell mode focus weirdness. I type a command in my shell (cmd or the cygwin hosted shell) and the point is left at the echoed command immediately following the prompt line on which the command was issued (at the top of the command output), rather than following to the end of the buffer.
This is almost as frustrating as when I started working in emacs and didn’t understand modes or the keymap and could never predict what a key combination would do or how a mode would behave.
