EmacsWiki: Category Programming (original) (raw)

Category Programming is about using Emacs in programming other languages than EmacsLisp. Click the heading to find pages that link to this page.

Language-specific:

• AssemblyProgramming – Programming with the assembler.
• CPlusPlus – C++ specific programming.
• CProgrammingLanguage – C specific programming.
• DProgrammingLanguage – D specific programming.
• CategoryJavaScript – (including JScript) also see FlashActionscript.
• ErlangLanguage – Erlang specific programming
• JavaLanguage – Java programming with Emacs.
• JuliaProgrammingLanguage – The Julia programming language.
• MozillaDevelopmentEnvironmentforEmacs – support for Mozilla technologies in Emacs.
• MythrylLanguage – Mythryl specific programming
• PerlLanguage – Perl specific programming.
• PuppetProgramming – Puppet specific programming.
• PythonProgrammingInEmacs – About python programming features
• RubyLanguage – Ruby specific programming.
• RLanguage – For programming in R.

Coding style:

• AutomaticFileHeaders – automatic insertion and update of file headers for different types of file (C, shell, EmacsLisp, and so on).
• CategoryIndentation
• CommentingCode
• DeletingTypedefs – adapt your coding style and convert typedefs to plain structs

Code navigation and information:

• EAssist – Offers rapid method/function navigation for C++, C, Java, Lisp…
• ElDoc – Display the argument list of current function at point in the EchoArea
• Lisp:tooltip-help.el — show help as tooltip
• WhichFuncMode – Display the name of the current function at point in the ModeLine
• ToggleTest – A language agnostic tool to create/navigate quickly between source (test subject) files and the corresponding test files (Category: TDD, productivity, navigation)
• Tree – Multi-directory find, grep, tags generation
• Tree-sitter – More accurate (and probably faster) syntax highlighting, indentation, and code navigation using the Tree-sitter incremental parsing library
• ImenuMode

Development environments:

• CollectionOfEmacsDevelopmentEnvironmentTools – complete development environment
• Eglot – a LanguageServerProtocol client, comes with Emacs
• EmacsBrowse – simpler than ObjectOrientedBrowser, but comes with Emacs
• EmacsForDevStudioUsers– will make your MSVC-using friend envious of your comfortable development environment
• eproject - project workspaces for emacs
• IdeSkel – simple environment for svn/cvs projects, with embedded “speedbars”
• LspMode – client for the LanguageServerProtocol, providing an IDE-like experience by integrating Emacs packages like CompanyMode, Flycheck and Projectile.
• ObjectOrientedBrowser – supports C++, Java, Python, and a few other languages
• ProjectBufferMode – generic mode to handle projects
• For JavaScript – try js2-mode and Tern
• For Perl5 – try CPerlMode and Devel::PerlySense
• For OCaml – try tuareg and Merlin

File management:

• AutomaticFileHeaders – automatic insertion and update of file headers for different types of file (C, shell, EmacsLisp, and so on).
• Bookmark+ – Tag files and code fragments a la del.icio.us, to organize into sets and facilitate/control access. Bookmark Dired states. Open Dired on predefined sets of files located anywhere.
• ChangeLog – Log the changes to your source files.
• EmacsCodeBrowser – provides views of directories and files that go one step beyond what SpeedBar does
• mk-project – Quickly switch between projects and perform operations on a per-project basis
• Projectile – easy project management and navigation
• ProjectSettings – Configuration settings for an entire project (directory).
• ProjectWizard – simple, customizable project wizard
• ProjmanMode – move between different projects (directories) maintaining options and open buffers for each
• SimpleProjectManagment – A simple project managment
• SpeedBar – provides alternate views into individual source files
• SrSpeedbar – Display speedbar in same frame, very handy!
• StartProject – Start framework projects (Django, Rails, SproutCore, etc.)
• VersionControl – Manage revisions to your source files.
