Emacs

There are a variety of settings that you can put into your .emacs configuration file that can make life easier when working with the BRL-CAD sources.

; indent case statements ala BSD KNF / K&R style regardless of mode
(c-set-offset 'case-label '+)
(c-set-offset 'statement-case-open '+)

;; Support font-locking large files
(set-variable 'font-lock-maximum-size 18024000) 
(global-font-lock-mode t)
(transient-mark-mode t)
(turn-on-font-lock)

; display column numbers in addition to line numbers
(set-variable 'column-number-mode t)
