[OT?] disabling automatic line-break in emacs octave-mode

[Carlo de Falco-2]

Hi,
I understand this is probably more of an emacs/lisp question but I
hope someone on this list might also know a solution.
I personally find the way emacs automatically breaks lines in octave-
mode
very annoying and I was looking for a way to disable it.
Has anyone done this or know how to do it?
Thanks,
c.

Put this into your /.emacs file:

(add-hook 'octave-mode-hook (lambda () (auto-fill-mode 0)))

I found this in my .emacs:

(add-hook 'octave-mode-hook
   (lambda ()
     (abbrev-mode 1)
     (auto-fill-mode 1)
     (if (eq window-system 'x)
  (font-lock-mode 1))))


I changed (auto-fill-mode 1) to (auto-fill-mode 0) and it worked.
great, thanks!

The default column width in emacs in 70 characters including the
newline. This is usually pretty small. You can reset this by

C-u 200 C-xf

(C-u is control-u, etc.)

or by the elisp command

(set-fill-column 200)

Both enlarge the column width to 200.

auto-fill-mode is too useful in general to just turn-off, imo. So I
often reset the fill-column, input some lines I don't want broken, then
reset to the default.

I have this:

(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'auto-fill-mode)

I use it routinely to set and reset auto-fill-mode by hitting C-c a.
