Re: configuring auc-tex

Ok, actually the solution is to use 'keyboard macros'
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html#Keyboard%20Macros

here is the lisp code I added to my ~/.emacs:

** BEGIN LISP
(fset 'display-latex
   [?\C-x ?\C-s ?\C-c ?\C-c return ?\C-c ?\C-v])

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
    (local-set-key "\C-z" 'display-latex)))
** END LISP

Now, when I press C-z emacs save the buffer, create the pdf file and
display it with Xpdf

:)
