Using Emacs as an IDE

Question

Currently my workflow with Emacs when I am coding in C or C++ involves three windows. The largest on the right contains the file I am working with. The left is split into

There's a TFS.el for emacs integration into Microsoft TFS. It works with any TFS, including the TFS that runs Codeplex.com.

Basic steps to setup:

1. Place tfs.el in your load-path.

2. In your .emacs file:

   (require 'tfs)
   (setq tfs/tf-exe  "c:\\vs2008\\common7\\ide\\tf.exe")
   (setq tfs/login "/login:domain\\userid,password")
         -or-
   (setq tfs/login (getenv "TFSLOGIN"))  ;; if you have this set
   

3. also in your .emacs file, set local or global key bindings for tfs commands. like so:

   (global-set-key  "\C-xvo" 'tfs/checkout)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvi" 'tfs/checkin)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvp" 'tfs/properties)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvr" 'tfs/rename)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvg" 'tfs/get)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvh" 'tfs/history)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvu" 'tfs/undo)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvd" 'tfs/diff)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xv-" 'tfs/delete)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xv+" 'tfs/add)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvs" 'tfs/status)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xva" 'tfs/annotate)
   (global-set-key  "\C-xvw" 'tfs/workitem)
