I haven’t used Windows a lot, so not familiar about its intricacies as a dev environment. You may want to see vendor/collection/ruby.el and contents of directory: vendor/collection/ruby/
in git://github.com/janmejay/emacs.git (it is a submodule, so you’ll need to run ‘git submodule update –init’ after you have cloned the codebase), which has ruby-mode and all its helpers and minor-modes etc). Once you glue it into your setup, you should have all the ruby goodies.

However, you may have to tune it a little to fix impedance mismatch with Windows.

I used to code Perl in emacs, and loved the navigation and built-in functionality, e.g. having a shell inside the editor, but now after coming back to emacs after a couple years off am having to relearn a lot of emacs, while also learning Ruby (just Ruby, not Ruby on Rails, yet).

I’ve searched for a ruby-mode tutorial and can’t find one that meets my needs. I am able to put emacs into ruby-mode, and open up my .rb file, but can’t figure out how to execute code. I hope you’ll write a bit more about getting started, or that you’ll point me to some resource I haven’t yet found.

I’m just using Ruby for the sake of learning a new language and while I’ve played with the interactive Ruby shell (IRB) outside of emacs, I haven’t been able to run it inside emacs.

I’m running Windows and emacs 24.2.

Thanks for any further help,

Duane

I’m also using emacs to do Rails development, speaking of ECB, did you ever get the ECB able to jump between method definitions without using TAG but using Semantic?

May be in interesting read for people considering switch of development environment.

Carbon Emacs(the one that i use on my mac) was not letting me change the tab-width and had it set as 2 even for C++(some C-h c and C-h c is enough to make you realize that reindent-then-newline-and-indent is the procedure used for indentation, which internally reads variable called indent-line-function to figure out which procedure is to be called. In C/C++ mode it happens to be c-indent-line. To change the depth of indentation, try setting c-basic-offset insteed of tab-width. This is what my C++ mode hook looks like….


(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)

(defun my-c++-mode-hook ()
(setq tab-width 4)
(setq c-basic-offset 4)
(define-key c++-mode-map "\C-m" 'reindent-then-newline-and-indent)
(define-key c++-mode-map "\C-ce" 'c-comment-edit)
(setq c++-auto-hungry-initial-state 'none)
(setq c++-delete-function 'backward-delete-char)
(setq c++-tab-always-indent t)
(setq c-indent-level 4)
(setq c-continued-statement-offset 4)
(setq c++-empty-arglist-indent 4))

(defun my-c-mode-hook ()
(setq tab-width 4)
(setq c-basic-offset 4)
(define-key c-mode-map "\C-m" 'reindent-then-newline-and-indent)
(define-key c-mode-map "\C-ce" 'c-comment-edit)
(setq c-auto-hungry-initial-state 'none)
(setq c-delete-function 'backward-delete-char)
(setq c-tab-always-indent t)
(setq c-indent-level 4)
(setq c-continued-statement-offset 4)
(setq c-brace-offset -4)
(setq c-argdecl-indent 0)
(setq c-label-offset -4))

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'my-c++-mode-hook)
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)
