Visual Studio 2008 Emacs Mode?

Up vote 3 down vote favorite 1 share g+ share fb share tw.

When using emacs mode in Visual Studio 2008 the tab key no longer inserts tabs. It simply formats the current line. It is possible to remap tab to Edit.

IncreaseIndent but this has many undesirable side effects. Has anyone else experienced this? If so is there a fix/hack?

Also I have noticed that the performance of the text editor rapidly degrades over time when emacs mode is enabled. It gets to the point that there is full second lag on the cursor updating. I suspect this has something to with the way the kill ring or Edit.

EmacsSetMark is implemented since in the default mode Emacs. SetMark does not work. Any thoughts or help with these issues would be great.

Even just some other people sharing my pain. Visual-studio-2008 emacs ide link|improve this question asked Jan 28 '09 at 17:51kazakdogofspace95721521 71% accept rate.

Try Ctrl+q TAB I use it every day with no performance degradation in VS2008 SP1.

Not sure if this works in VS2008 but the workaround offered for the Emacs Emulation extension for VS2010 is this: Known Issues Pressing Tab on a blank line will not add the proper indentation. The workaround is to add text to the line and then press Tab. Pressing Tab when Intellisense Statement Completion is active will not complete.

The workaround is to use another completion character or Enter to commit.

I haven't tried it in VS 2008, but in most apps with emacs key-bindings, if you do a Shift-Tab it'll insert a Tab instead of indent. (Learned from using Vimacs plugin in Vim).

I'm using Emacs mode, and I've noticed performance degradation. Not sure if it's related though. I wish emacs mode wasn't so buggy.

Much improved since vs 2005, but sometimes simple commands such as ctrl-n and ctrl-p don't work (in aspx, for instance).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
