Re: On the fly syntax checkers in emacs, ultraedit or vi

Default emacs installation on debian/wheezy, just open your file in emacs and hit M-x flymake-mode.

This mode has only two useful functions which you may want to assign to some keys like

(global-set-key [f5] 'flymake-goto-next-error)
(global-set-key [f6] 'flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line)
[download]

...in your .emacs.d/init.el file.

For even more fun run M-x cperl-mode and read it's docs with C-h m.

For even more fun :) `M-x customize-mode [RET] Major mode: flymake-mode [RET]` [download] (or click Options -> Customize Emacs -> Specific Group) And you're getting an interactive menu to change settings. For instance I've changed the error highlighting to underlining and switched off the option to flymake on file-load (security reasons). Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l]
