Re: Emacs and C++

Hello!

Welcome to us, hmm I think I would recommend you to grab someone who
have worked with emacs and let him sit and show you.. :-) (BTW Which
platforms are you working on?)

| 1. Is there a project manger for Emacs which can organize files into
| tree (with "sources", "headers" subtrees) and allow to open all files
| in project with only one command. 

Hmm check the emacs info-files about "Saving Emacs Sessions", might be
interesting, haven't used it therefore I only can point your nose in
that direction.

| 2. Almost all commercial IDE have a feature called "tagging". For
| example, when cursor is on function's prototype I can easily jump to
[...]

Yep, you should have some program called ctags around, coming with
emacs, it will create a database that emacs uses when doing the
command find-tag, M-.

| 3. How can I run my console program in Emacs console instead of
| default terminal emulator (such as xterm)?

Emacs console? Default terminal emulator?? Please explain more.

| 4. How can force Emacs to automatically save current session and open it on
| next start?

C-x C-S.. or? Hmm open next start, maybe emacs sessions above can help
you.

| 5. Is there font-lock mode designed especially for C++ (the default one
| isn't powerful enough) ?

Which C++-mode do you use, what isn't powerful enough? Missing some
color or?

| 6. How can indent using spaces (4 spaces in one tab) but when I press
| Backspace after indenting it will erase 4 spaces (as if I inserted tab
| character) ?

Config cc-mode, check the docs.

| 7. Is there "symbol auto-completion" for Emacs?

Yes there are some smart, haven't used them, I am using the dumb one,
M-/.

| 8. What spell-checkers does Emacs support?

I have mainly seen ispell, do a google for spell-checker and emacs :-)

| 9. How can I set small left margin in Emacs editing window thus making text
| start not from the edge of screen but some millimeters from it?

Are you running in text-mode? Or Graphics-mode?
