Lately I've been developing in emacs with distel using the following
keybinds:


(add-hook 'erlang-mode-hook 'my-erl-binds)
(defun my-erl-binds ()
  (define-key erlang-mode-map [f5] 
    (lambda () 
      (interactive) 
      (progn 
	(save-buffer) 
	(compile "make -k"))))
  (define-key erlang-mode-map [f6] 'erl-reload-modules)))

f5 saves the current buffer, runs make to compile the sources, then f6
reloads all the modified modules in whatever erlang node distel is currently
connected to.
