Everytime I wanted to get a console I typed F12, willing to make Yakuake<\/a> come down. But sometimes I pressed F11 and then Devhelp<\/a> was loaded. It’s ok when you make this mistake one, two or even three times…but It was happening a lot.<\/p>\n

I searched my entire KDE’s shortcuts trying to find where the hell was that key binding but I had no luck. After a while, I discovered that it only happened when I was inside Emacs…hmmm…of course it was an Emacs key binding and not KDE’s one!<\/p>\n

Ok, now I was able to remove the F11 key binding, but the fun just started: how about binding Qt’s Assistant<\/a> instead of Devhelp<\/a> as I’m working much more with Qt than with GTK ??? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

At first it looked pretty easy, just needing a few lines inside .emacs:
\n
\n(defun assistant ()
\n\"runs qt assistant\"
\n(interactive)
\n(start-process-shell-command \"assistant\" nil \"assistant\")
\n)
\n(global-set-key [f11] 'assistant)
\n<\/code>\n<\/p>\n

But now I really need Assistant to automatically search for a keyword when I open it. It would be much easier to just put the cursor in the keyword I want and make Assistant<\/a> search for it. A few hours later I finished it and came along with the following patch on my “personal” Assistant:<\/p>\n

0001-created-search-keyword-function.patch<\/a><\/p>\n

And my final Emac’s function:
\n
\n(defun assistant ()
\n<\/code> \"runs qt assistant\"<\/code>
\n (interactive)
\n(start-process-shell-command \"assistant\" nil \"assistant\" \"-search\" (current-word))
\n)
\n(global-set-key [f11] 'assistant)<\/code>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\"Emacs<\/a><\/p>\n

So much fun with Qt =P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
