osx - What’s a good way to deal with a german keyboard when using Emacs on Mac OS X? -


Maybe it's a bit weird because this question is in English because my problem is a non-English I'm a Mac OS X user I'm on my way to learning MACS I have decided to use the Emacs 23.1 Cocoa Build, which by default uses the alt / option key of the Mac keyboard as a meta key but because I'm German and I German I am using keyboard, of course, it is very difficult to enter the required parameters for large scale programming: { } [ ]

To bring these keyboards to the German keyboard layout, press the following key: 

  Alt-5 for '[' alt] -8 '{'

Translate according to the status described above 

  M-5M-8

I know that you have real keys Can change the person who should be used as a meta key (for example, I could change the meta key into a command key). But I think every option will come at a cost and there will be some obvious loss because it can override some predefined OS behavior, which may be necessary when editing with a foreign language keyboard.

For now, the best option seems to be to use the CAPS lock key as a meta key because this option does not interfere with the already existing key combinations.

What are your experiences related to this problem? Do you use an English keyboard while coding (non-English)? Are not you mixed with dependent keyboard layouts in this context? Or are there some great practices that are important for using a German or similar keyboard as a meta key? Or are there some configuration options?

With a little practice, you mentally a US and DE keyboard layout - after some time swap y And the second nature of jade is formed. I did this for years working in Germany.

But even with a US keyboard layout, there are still characters that you can not log without Alt. I personally use the command in the form of Meta, in which to make OS X dead keys, except for alt / option, eg i "Alt-shift-2" => €, "alt-e e" => e: 

  (setq mac- command-modifier 'meta mac-option-modifier' Not input

Another option is to move the "problem" key as {} using the keyboard-translation function.

sql - dynamically varied number of conditions in the 'where' statement using LINQ -

I am using my first project LINQ (in mvc), so maybe there's something very simple that I remember. However, a day of searching and experimenting does not work, so it works. I am trying to write a LINQ query (Linux to SQL) in which in many cases where the statement is different from an OR or an AND. We do not know how many conditions are going in the query till runtime. This search is for filter control, where the user can choose multiple criteria for filtering. Select from table where table.col = 1 or table.col = 2 or table.col = 7 .... 'Other number of conditions Before I just create the SQL query as a string, while looping over all the situations. However, it seems that there should be a good way to do this in LINQ. I tried to use Expression trees, but they had a second thought for this moment on my head, where the lambda function was to be executed inside the statement such as: values ​​for matchingRows = matchingRows for each value Where (function (row) row.c...

asp.net mvc - Dynamically Generated Ajax.BeginForm -

I have a problem with ASP.NET MVC Ajax forms. I generate many Ajax form in a table such as: & Lt; Input type = "submit" name = "activity" value = "add activity" / & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; & Lt; / TD & gt; & Lt; / TR & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; So far so good. When I post one of those forms, it gives a partial view in a div, and in this new partial view a new Ajax Beginnform (which is not in Genesis form) This second Ajax Beginnorf is exactly like the ones I got on the table, but when I post it, I do not get the "Ajax Post", but a normal post that sends me to a new page, I do not know whether the two Ajax forms What is the reason for the difference between, why is it the "dynamically generated" Ajax form behaves like a normal HTML form? By the way, I know that I can do it in different ways using javascript, but I would like to understand whether it can only be done using MVC helplars and Ajax lib...
