An Emacs major mode for CoffeeScript and IcedCoffeeScript, unfancy JavaScript.
Provides syntax highlighting, indentation support, imenu support, a menu bar, and a few cute commands.
Install from the GNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive.
[coffee-mode used to offer automatic deletion of trailing whitespace. This is now left to whitespace-mode. See its documentation for full details, but as a hint, configure:
(setq whitespace-action '(auto-cleanup)) ;; automatically clean up bad whitespace
(setq whitespace-style '(trailing space-before-tab indentation empty space-after-tab)) ;; only show bad whitespace
Then turn on whitespace-mode, or global-whitespace-mode.]
If you're using imenu, coffee-mode should work just fine. This
means users of textmate.el will find that ⇧⌘T
(textmate-go-to-symbol) mostly works as expected.
If you're not using imenu check out this page or textmate.el for a really awesome way to jump quickly to a function's definition in a file.
If you have easymenu you can get to any of these commands from the
menu bar:
