Hopefully you are already using ido or something similar to enhance emacs tab completion. I only use ido-switch-buffer ((ido-mode ‘buffer) in .emacs) as I dislike ido-find-file. What I don’t like is accidentally typing \C-x\C-b for buffer-menu-other-window (or whatever it is) when I meant \C-x b. So I put this in .emacs: (global-set-key “\C-x\C-b” ‘ido-switch-buffer)
I used to have a very complex .emacs config for python development, then I discovered elpy. It bundles together various python lisp modules cohesively, supports virtual environments, loading “project” files (via elpy-find-file), refactoring, running tests and so on. I’m not even tempted to use PyCharm much any more.
Are you an emacs user? Are you a GNU screen user? If the answer to both of these questions is yes then install elscreen for buffer navigation in emacs.
So here’s a quick function to drop in your ~/.emacs (taken from here): (defun git-push-remote-origin () “run `git push'” (interactive) (when buffer-file-name (shell-command “git push”) (message “DONE! git push at %s” default-directory) ))
Useful if you’re copy & pasting. query-replace-regexp ^[[:digit:]]+\.? ? Or even better, define this function in your .emacs (defun remove-line-numbers () “remove line numbers” (interactive “*”) (beginning-of-buffer) (replace-regexp “^[[:digit:]]+\.? ?” “”))
If you want this to work (for example for https elisp repositories) I strongly recommend you use the version of Emacs that is bundled with Cygwin.

If you’re a python programmer, you probably know all about the troubles mixing tabs and spaces can cause. I have searched far and wide, and have collected some really useful configurations for setting up the perfect Emacs configuration for Python. What it does: Insert spaces instead of tabs when indenting Sets indent to 4 spaces …

Put the below in your ~/.emacs: ;; make thinkpad browser keys navigate buffers (setq w32-pass-multimedia-buttons-to-system nil) (global-set-key (kbd “”) ‘next-buffer) (global-set-key (kbd “”) ‘previous-buffer) (global-set-key [C-XF86Forward] ‘next-multiframe-window) (global-set-key [C-XF86Back] ‘previous-multiframe-window) On my x220 this allows the browser forward & back keys (above right & left cursor keys) to be used to switch buffer and combined …

If you are using emacs to edit Python with auto-complete enabled, you really should install smart-tab to intelligently toggle between indentation and completion.
