I use this little addition to my .emacs file to support reloading the current file I’m editing.
(defun refresh-file () (interactive) (revert-buffer t t t) ) (global-set-key [f5] 'refresh-file)
You can also use CTRL-x CTRL-v to do a “Find alternative file” and choose the same file that you are currently editing. F5 is a little quicker though.
Ive been using emacs for some years now, but I always noticed the css mode seemed to format it a little strange.
I found this article, it fixes all the issues in the css mode.
(setq cssm-indent-level 4) (setq cssm-newline-before-closing-bracket t) (setq cssm-indent-function #'cssm-c-style-indenter) (setq cssm-mirror-mode nil)
Now when I auto indent the buffer it looks correctly. I have no idea why this is not the default for the css-mode.
FYI my auto indent key is F2.
(defun indent-buffer ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion (indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil))
)
(global-set-key [f2] 'indent-buffer)
