I like emacs and prefer it to xemacs because of xemac's delete-key and
backspace key behaviour which differs between the console and X
environments. But I have a few problems which I do not understand.
In my .emacs file I have inter alia the following:
(setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)
(setq reftex-enable-partial-scans t)
(setq reftex-save-parse-info t)
(setq reftex-use-multiple-selection-buffers t)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with AUCTeX LaTeX mode
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with Emacs latex mode
(line-number-mode 1)
(gnuserv-start)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
(setq font-lock-keywords python-font-lock-keywords)
(font-lock-mode 1))
(setq abbrev-mode 1)
(setq text-mode-hook 'iso-accents-mode)
When I start xemacs, everything seems to work. With emacs however, I
still have to start reftex-mode, auto-fill-mode, iso-accents-mode and
font-lock-mode by hand (python's font locking seems to work on
startup). Gnuserv is not working with emacs. Auctex also give
some problems with emacs: When I type "something" auctex should change
it to ``something''. It works like that when I work on a new document
but as soon as I work on a document that has been saved before it
changes to ''something}. That happens on both emacs 19.34 and emacs
20.3.
I hope somebody can help me out on this one.
