C-h b This opens the help showing the correspondence between key-bindings and elisp functions. Look for C-x C-f in it (you can do it by typing C-s C – x space C – f), you find find-file. Now, do C-h f find-file and it tells you, among other things, the syntax : (find-file FILENAME &optional … Read more
Global minor modes created with the define-globalized-minor-mode1 macro are a bit tricky. The reason your code doesn’t appear to do anything is that globalized modes utilise after-change-major-mode-hook to activate the buffer-local minor mode that they control; and that hook runs immediately after the major mode’s own hooks4. Individual modes may implement custom ways of specifying … Read more
What this means is that, at the point at which you invoke define-key, c-mode-base-map is not yet defined by anything. The usual fix is to find out where this is defined and require that module. In this case: (require ‘cc-mode) However there are other possible fixes as well, for example setting the key-binding in a … Read more
F2F1 or F2C-h In general, typing F1 or C-h after any prefix-binding will list all the bindings using that prefix: describe-prefix-bindings is an interactive compiled Lisp function in help.el. Describe the bindings of the prefix used to reach this command. The prefix described consists of all but the last event of the key sequence that … Read more
As described here: M-x find-name-dired After you provide the directory and the pattern the matching files will be displayed in a Dired buffer. You can navigate the file list (C-n, C-p, etc.) and open files as you wish (Ret).

I believe the two approaches you describe are less different than you think. Notice that local-set-key does in fact evaluate (define-key map key command) where map is the value of (current-local-map), which is typically set by the major mode. So although they could be doing different things; most of the time the only real difference … Read more
Here’s what I use, which was mostly cribbed from Luca de Alfaro: (defun fill-sentence () (interactive) (save-excursion (or (eq (point) (point-max)) (forward-char)) (forward-sentence -1) (indent-relative t) (let ((beg (point)) (ix (string-match “LaTeX” mode-name))) (forward-sentence) (if (and ix (equal “LaTeX” (substring mode-name ix))) (LaTeX-fill-region-as-paragraph beg (point)) (fill-region-as-paragraph beg (point)))))) I bind this to M-j with (global-set-key … Read more
The package adaptive-wrap, which can be installed via the ELPA packaging system, should do what you want. After having installed the package, just run the following commands: M-xvisual-line-modeRET (to wrap long lines) M-xadaptive-wrap-prefix-modeRET (to make wrapped lines indent nicely) I also have the following snippet in my init.el file to automatically activate adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode along with … Read more
Same for LaTeX… Though, as they are fontified differently in your buffer, you can use them for different semantics. Personally, I use “code” for var/func names, commands to be typed, etc; and “verbatim” for paths or file names. I would have loved to have the same number of markups as there are in TeX Info, … Read more
