Make latexmk the defautl for TeX-command-master about auctex-latexmk

[tom-tan]

Sorry for late reply.

There are mainly two ways to make TeX-run-latexmk (it is a function called in C-c C-c LatexMk) by default:

• Make LatexMk default by taking care of related variables and functions. I guess it is an ideal solution. It will be OK if it could be done by just setting several variables but I guess it is not. It needs more work to achieve it. I am not sure it is a reasonable option comparing to the latter option.
• Override the LaTeX command. auctex-latexmk does not do it because it may break other packages that depend on auctex. However, it is simple enough and less additional code to be maintained.

I suggest to overwrite LaTeX command by user code. For example:

(setq TeX-command-list
      (cons
       `("LaTeX" . ,(cdr (assoc "LaTexMk" TeX-command-list)))
       TeX-command-list))

The overwriting solution (see below snippet) is not working,

(setq TeX-command-list
      (cons
       `("LaTeX" . ,(cdr (assoc "LaTexMk" TeX-command-list)))
       TeX-command-list))

It is giving following error on selecting "LaTeX",

TeX-command-expand: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

Another way to do it via a hook:

(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq TeX-command-default "LatexMk")))
