10 Emacs can split a frame into two or many windows. Multiple windows | |
11 can display parts of different buffers, or different parts of one | |
12 buffer. Multiple frames always imply multiple windows, because each | |
13 frame has its own set of windows. Each window belongs to one and only | |
14 one frame. | |

30 Each Emacs window displays one Emacs buffer at any time. A single | |
31 buffer may appear in more than one window; if it does, any changes in | |
68545 | 32 its text are displayed in all the windows where it appears. But these |
33 windows can show different parts of the buffer, because each window | |
34 has its own value of point. | |
25829 | 35 |
36 @cindex selected window | |
68545 | 37 At any time, one Emacs window is the @dfn{selected window}; the |
25829 | 38 buffer this window is displaying is the current buffer. The terminal's |
39 cursor shows the location of point in this window. Each other window | |

44 selected window is blinking or solid. |
25829 | 45 |
46 Commands to move point affect the value of point for the selected Emacs | |
68545 | 47 window only. They do not change the value of point in other Emacs |
48 windows, even those showing the same buffer. The same is true for commands | |
49 such as @kbd{C-x b} to switch buffers in the selected window; | |
25829 | 50 they do not affect other windows at all. However, there are other commands |
51 such as @kbd{C-x 4 b} that select a different window and switch buffers in | |
52 it. Also, all commands that display information in a window, including | |
53 (for example) @kbd{C-h f} (@code{describe-function}) and @kbd{C-x C-b} | |
54 (@code{list-buffers}), work by switching buffers in a nonselected window | |
55 without affecting the selected window. | |
56 | |
57 When multiple windows show the same buffer, they can have different | |
58 regions, because they can have different values of point. However, | |
59 they all have the same value for the mark, because each buffer has | |
60 only one mark position. | |
61 | |
62 Each window has its own mode line, which displays the buffer name, | |
63 modification status and major and minor modes of the buffer that is | |

36185 | 154 (@code{other-window}). That is an @kbd{o}, for ``other,'' not a zero. |
25829 | 155 When there are more than two windows, this command moves through all the |
156 windows in a cyclic order, generally top to bottom and left to right. | |
157 After the rightmost and bottommost window, it goes back to the one at | |
158 the upper left corner. A numeric argument means to move several steps | |
159 in the cyclic order of windows. A negative argument moves around the | |
160 cycle in the opposite order. When the minibuffer is active, the | |
161 minibuffer is the last window in the cycle; you can switch from the | |
162 minibuffer window to one of the other windows, and later switch back and | |

228 @samp{*shell*}. By convention, all these commands are written to pop up |
25829 | 229 the buffer in a separate window. But you can specify that certain of |
230 these buffers should appear in the selected window. | |
231 | |
232 @vindex same-window-buffer-names | |
233 If you add a buffer name to the list @code{same-window-buffer-names}, | |
234 the effect is that such commands display that particular buffer by | |
235 switching to it in the selected window. For example, if you add the | |
236 element @code{"*grep*"} to the list, the @code{grep} command will | |
237 display its output buffer in the selected window. | |
238 | |
239 The default value of @code{same-window-buffer-names} is not | |
240 @code{nil}: it specifies buffer names @samp{*info*}, @samp{*mail*} and | |
241 @samp{*shell*} (as well as others used by more obscure Emacs packages). | |
242 This is why @kbd{M-x shell} normally switches to the @samp{*shell*} | |
243 buffer in the selected window. If you delete this element from the | |
244 value of @code{same-window-buffer-names}, the behavior of @kbd{M-x | |
245 shell} will change---it will pop up the buffer in another window | |
246 instead. | |
247 | |
248 @vindex same-window-regexps | |
249 You can specify these buffers more generally with the variable | |
250 @code{same-window-regexps}. Set it to a list of regular expressions; | |
251 then any buffer whose name matches one of those regular expressions is | |
252 displayed by switching to it in the selected window. (Once again, this | |
253 applies only to buffers that normally get displayed for you in a | |
254 separate window.) The default value of this variable specifies Telnet | |
255 and rlogin buffers. | |

304 @kindex C-x 1 | |
305 @findex delete-other-windows | |
306 @kbd{C-x 1} (@code{delete-other-windows}) is more powerful in a | |
307 different way; it deletes all the windows except the selected one (and | |
308 the minibuffer); the selected window expands to use the whole frame | |
309 except for the echo area. | |

311 @kindex C-x ^ | |

314 @findex enlarge-window-horizontally | |
315 @vindex window-min-height | |
316 @vindex window-min-width | |
317 To readjust the division of space among vertically adjacent windows, | |
318 use @kbd{C-x ^} (@code{enlarge-window}). It makes the currently | |
68545 | 319 selected window one line bigger, or as many lines as is specified |
25829 | 320 with a numeric argument. With a negative argument, it makes the |
321 selected window smaller. @kbd{C-x @}} | |
322 (@code{enlarge-window-horizontally}) makes the selected window wider by | |
323 the specified number of columns. @kbd{C-x @{} | |
324 (@code{shrink-window-horizontally}) makes the selected window narrower | |
325 by the specified number of columns. | |
326 | |
68545 | 327 When you make a window bigger, the space comes from its peers. If |
328 this makes any window too small, it is deleted and its space is given | |
329 to an adjacent window. The minimum size is specified by the variables | |
330 @code{window-min-height} and @code{window-min-width}. | |
25829 | 331 |
332 @kindex C-x - | |
333 @findex shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer | |
334 The command @kbd{C-x -} (@code{shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer}) | |
335 reduces the height of the selected window, if it is taller than | |
336 necessary to show the whole text of the buffer it is displaying. It | |
337 gives the extra lines to other windows in the frame. | |
338 | |
339 @kindex C-x + | |
340 @findex balance-windows | |
341 You can also use @kbd{C-x +} (@code{balance-windows}) to even out the | |
342 heights of all the windows in the selected frame. | |
343 | |
68545 | 344 Mouse clicks on the mode line provide another way to change window |
345 heights and to delete windows. @xref{Mode Line Mouse}. | |
