C++ in Emacs

i wonder anyone here use emacs ? i have some questions when coding with C++ file, for example how to customize indent size and highlight color ?

'M-x font-lock-mode' should do the colouring for you. Not sure about the indent size. I use vim now, not emacs.

edit your ".emacs" file (probably in your home directory) using the Lisp like emacs scripting language.

- OR -

click: Options -> Customize Emacs -> Top level Customization Group
and customize through the GUI.

hmmm, my standard indent size is 4 too, but may actual tab size when coding is 2.
try adding this to your .emacs file, you can change the 4 to whatever tab size you want.

Code:

---

;; set tab size to 4
  (defun my-c-mode-common-hook ()
    (setq c-basic-offset 4)
    )
  (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
