Hello

GNU 23.1.1

By clicking the F5 button I can compile my project. However, I want to extend this so that any unsaved work would be saved and then compiled.

Normally I just do C-x-s to save then click F5. But can I add a line that will save without having to ask me do I want to save then it will compile, all done automatically?

; Compile program using <F5>
; Save all unsaved files here, then compile
(global-set-key [f5] 'compile)

Hope you understand me?

Many thanks for any advice,
