9 When using the X Window System, you can create multiple windows at the | |
10 X level in a single Emacs session. Each X window that belongs to Emacs | |
11 displays a @dfn{frame} which can contain one or several Emacs windows. | |
12 A frame initially contains a single general-purpose Emacs window which | |
13 you can subdivide vertically or horizontally into smaller windows. A | |
14 frame normally contains its own echo area and minibuffer, but you can | |
15 make frames that don't have these---they use the echo area and | |
16 minibuffer of another frame. | |
17 | |
18 Editing you do in one frame also affects the other frames. For | |
19 instance, if you put text in the kill ring in one frame, you can yank it | |
20 in another frame. If you exit Emacs through @kbd{C-x C-c} in one frame, | |
21 it terminates all the frames. To delete just one frame, use @kbd{C-x 5 | |
37121 | 22 0} (that is zero, not @kbd{o}). |
25829 | 23 |
24 To avoid confusion, we reserve the word ``window'' for the | |
25 subdivisions that Emacs implements, and never use it to refer to a | |
26 frame. | |
27 | |
28 Emacs compiled for MS-DOS emulates some aspects of the window system | |

81 @table @kbd | |
82 @item Mouse-1 | |
83 Move point to where you click (@code{mouse-set-point}). | |
84 This is normally the left button. | |
85 | |
86 @item Drag-Mouse-1 | |
87 Set the region to the text you select by dragging, and copy it to the | |
88 kill ring (@code{mouse-set-region}). You can specify both ends of the | |
89 region with this single command. | |
90 | |
91 @vindex mouse-scroll-min-lines | |
92 If you move the mouse off the top or bottom of the window while | |
93 dragging, the window scrolls at a steady rate until you move the mouse | |
94 back into the window. This way, you can select regions that don't fit | |
95 entirely on the screen. The number of lines scrolled per step depends | |
96 on how far away from the window edge the mouse has gone; the variable | |
97 @code{mouse-scroll-min-lines} specifies a minimum step size. | |
98 | |
99 @item Mouse-2 | |
100 Yank the last killed text, where you click (@code{mouse-yank-at-click}). | |
101 This is normally the middle button. | |
102 | |
103 @item Mouse-3 | |
104 This command, @code{mouse-save-then-kill}, has several functions | |
105 depending on where you click and the status of the region. | |
106 | |
107 The most basic case is when you click @kbd{Mouse-1} in one place and | |
108 then @kbd{Mouse-3} in another. This selects the text between those two | |
109 positions as the region. It also copies the new region to the kill | |
110 ring, so that you can copy it to someplace else. | |
111 | |
112 If you click @kbd{Mouse-1} in the text, scroll with the scroll bar, and | |
113 then click @kbd{Mouse-3}, it remembers where point was before scrolling | |
114 (where you put it with @kbd{Mouse-1}), and uses that position as the | |
115 other end of the region. This is so that you can select a region that | |
116 doesn't fit entirely on the screen. | |
117 | |
118 More generally, if you do not have a highlighted region, @kbd{Mouse-3} | |
119 selects the text between point and the click position as the region. It | |
120 does this by setting the mark where point was, and moving point to where | |
121 you click. | |
122 | |
123 If you have a highlighted region, or if the region was set just before | |
124 by dragging button 1, @kbd{Mouse-3} adjusts the nearer end of the region | |
125 by moving it to where you click. The adjusted region's text also | |
126 replaces the old region's text in the kill ring. | |
127 | |
128 If you originally specified the region using a double or triple | |
129 @kbd{Mouse-1}, so that the region is defined to consist of entire words | |
130 or lines, then adjusting the region with @kbd{Mouse-3} also proceeds by | |
131 entire words or lines. | |
132 | |
133 If you use @kbd{Mouse-3} a second time consecutively, at the same place, | |
134 that kills the region already selected. | |
135 | |
136 @item Double-Mouse-1 | |
137 This key sets the region around the word which you click on. If you | |
138 click on a character with ``symbol'' syntax (such as underscore, in C | |
139 mode), it sets the region around the symbol surrounding that character. | |
140 | |
141 If you click on a character with open-parenthesis or close-parenthesis | |
38205 | 142 syntax, it sets the region around the parenthetical grouping |
25829 | 143 which that character starts or ends. If you click on a character with |
144 string-delimiter syntax (such as a singlequote or doublequote in C), it | |
145 sets the region around the string constant (using heuristics to figure | |
146 out whether that character is the beginning or the end of it). | |
147 | |
148 @item Double-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
149 This key selects a region made up of the words you drag across. | |
150 | |
151 @item Triple-Mouse-1 | |
152 This key sets the region around the line you click on. | |
153 | |
154 @item Triple-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
155 This key selects a region made up of the lines you drag across. | |
156 @end table | |
157 | |
158 The simplest way to kill text with the mouse is to press @kbd{Mouse-1} | |
159 at one end, then press @kbd{Mouse-3} twice at the other end. | |
160 @xref{Killing}. To copy the text into the kill ring without deleting it | |
161 from the buffer, press @kbd{Mouse-3} just once---or just drag across the | |
162 text with @kbd{Mouse-1}. Then you can copy it elsewhere by yanking it. | |
163 | |
164 @vindex mouse-yank-at-point | |
165 To yank the killed or copied text somewhere else, move the mouse there | |
166 and press @kbd{Mouse-2}. @xref{Yanking}. However, if | |
167 @code{mouse-yank-at-point} is non-@code{nil}, @kbd{Mouse-2} yanks at | |
168 point. Then it does not matter where you click, or even which of the | |
169 frame's windows you click on. The default value is @code{nil}. This | |
170 variable also affects yanking the secondary selection. | |
171 | |
172 @cindex cutting and X | |
173 @cindex pasting and X | |
174 @cindex X cutting and pasting | |
175 To copy text to another X window, kill it or save it in the kill ring. | |
176 Under X, this also sets the @dfn{primary selection}. Then use the | |
177 ``paste'' or ``yank'' command of the program operating the other window | |
178 to insert the text from the selection. | |

192 @vindex x-cut-buffer-max | |
193 When Emacs puts text into the kill ring, or rotates text to the front | |
194 of the kill ring, it sets the @dfn{primary selection} in the X server. | |
195 This is how other X clients can access the text. Emacs also stores the | |
196 text in the cut buffer, but only if the text is short enough | |
37121 | 197 (the value of @code{x-cut-buffer-max} specifies the maximum number of |
198 characters); putting long strings in the cut buffer can be slow. | |
25829 | 199 |
200 The commands to yank the first entry in the kill ring actually check | |
201 first for a primary selection in another program; after that, they check | |
202 for text in the cut buffer. If neither of those sources provides text | |
203 to yank, the kill ring contents are used. | |
204 | |
205 @node Secondary Selection | |
206 @section Secondary Selection | |
207 @cindex secondary selection | |
208 | |
209 The @dfn{secondary selection} is another way of selecting text using | |
210 X. It does not use point or the mark, so you can use it to kill text | |
211 without setting point or the mark. | |
212 | |
213 @table @kbd | |
214 @findex mouse-set-secondary | |
215 @kindex M-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
216 @item M-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
217 Set the secondary selection, with one end at the place where you press | |
218 down the button, and the other end at the place where you release it | |
219 (@code{mouse-set-secondary}). The highlighting appears and changes as | |
37121 | 220 you drag. You can control the appearance of the highlighting by |
221 customizing the @code{secondary-selection} face (@pxref{Face | |
222 Customization}). | |
25829 | 223 |
224 If you move the mouse off the top or bottom of the window while | |
225 dragging, the window scrolls at a steady rate until you move the mouse | |
226 back into the window. This way, you can mark regions that don't fit | |
227 entirely on the screen. | |

25829 | 518 @node Speedbar |
519 @section Making and Using a Speedbar Frame | |
520 @cindex speedbar | |
521 | |
522 An Emacs frame can have a @dfn{speedbar}, which is a vertical window | |
523 that serves as a scrollable menu of files you could visit and tags | |
524 within those files. To create a speedbar, type @kbd{M-x speedbar}; this | |
525 creates a speedbar window for the selected frame. From then on, you can | |
526 click on a file name in the speedbar to visit that file in the | |
527 corresponding Emacs frame, or click on a tag name to jump to that tag in | |
528 the Emacs frame. | |
529 | |
530 Initially the speedbar lists the immediate contents of the current | |
531 directory, one file per line. Each line also has a box, @samp{[+]} or | |
532 @samp{<+>}, that you can click on with @kbd{Mouse-2} to ``open up'' the | |
533 contents of that item. If the line names a directory, opening it adds | |
534 the contents of that directory to the speedbar display, underneath the | |
535 directory's own line. If the line lists an ordinary file, opening it up | |
536 adds a list of the tags in that file to the speedbar display. When a | |
537 file is opened up, the @samp{[+]} changes to @samp{[-]}; you can click | |
538 on that box to ``close up'' that file (hide its contents). | |
539 | |
540 Some major modes, including Rmail mode, Info, and GUD, have | |
541 specialized ways of putting useful items into the speedbar for you to | |
542 select. For example, in Rmail mode, the speedbar shows a list of Rmail | |
543 files, and lets you move the current message to another Rmail file by | |
544 clicking on its @samp{<M>} box. | |
545 | |
546 A speedbar belongs to one Emacs frame, and always operates on that | |
547 frame. If you use multiple frames, you can make a speedbar for some or | |
548 all of the frames; type @kbd{M-x speedbar} in any given frame to make a | |
549 speedbar for it. | |

567 A single X server can handle more than one screen. When you open | |
568 frames on two screens belonging to one server, Emacs knows they share a | |
569 single keyboard, and it treats all the commands arriving from these | |
570 screens as a single stream of input. | |
571 | |
572 When you open frames on different X servers, Emacs makes a separate | |
573 input stream for each server. This way, two users can type | |
574 simultaneously on the two displays, and Emacs will not garble their | |
575 input. Each server also has its own selected frame. The commands you | |
576 enter with a particular X server apply to that server's selected frame. | |
577 | |
578 Despite these features, people using the same Emacs job from different | |
579 displays can still interfere with each other if they are not careful. | |
580 For example, if any one types @kbd{C-x C-c}, that exits the Emacs job | |
581 for all of them! | |

583 @node Special Buffer Frames | |
584 @section Special Buffer Frames | |
585 | |
586 @vindex special-display-buffer-names | |
587 You can make certain chosen buffers, for which Emacs normally creates | |
588 a second window when you have just one window, appear in special frames | |
589 of their own. To do this, set the variable | |
590 @code{special-display-buffer-names} to a list of buffer names; any | |
591 buffer whose name is in that list automatically gets a special frame, | |
592 when an Emacs command wants to display it ``in another window.'' | |
593 | |
594 For example, if you set the variable this way, | |
595 | |
596 @example | |
597 (setq special-display-buffer-names | |
598 '("*Completions*" "*grep*" "*tex-shell*")) | |
599 @end example | |
600 | |
601 @noindent | |
602 then completion lists, @code{grep} output and the @TeX{} mode shell | |
603 buffer get individual frames of their own. These frames, and the | |
604 windows in them, are never automatically split or reused for any other | |
605 buffers. They continue to show the buffers they were created for, | |
606 unless you alter them by hand. Killing the special buffer deletes its | |
607 frame automatically. | |
608 | |
609 @vindex special-display-regexps | |
610 More generally, you can set @code{special-display-regexps} to a list | |
611 of regular expressions; then a buffer gets its own frame if its name | |
612 matches any of those regular expressions. (Once again, this applies only | |
613 to buffers that normally get displayed for you in a separate window.) | |
614 | |
615 @vindex special-display-frame-alist | |
616 The variable @code{special-display-frame-alist} specifies the frame | |
617 parameters for these frames. It has a default value, so you don't need | |
618 to set it. | |
619 | |
620 For those who know Lisp, an element of | |
621 @code{special-display-buffer-names} or @code{special-display-regexps} | |
622 can also be a list. Then the first element is the buffer name or | |
623 regular expression; the rest of the list specifies how to create the | |

633 Alternatively, the value can have this form: |

635 @example | |
636 (@var{function} @var{args}...) | |
637 @end example | |
638 | |
639 @noindent | |
640 where @var{function} is a symbol. Then the frame is constructed by | |
641 calling @var{function}; its first argument is the buffer, and its | |
642 remaining arguments are @var{args}. | |
643 | |
644 An analogous feature lets you specify buffers which should be | |
645 displayed in the selected window. @xref{Force Same Window}. The | |
646 same-window feature takes precedence over the special-frame feature; | |
647 therefore, if you add a buffer name to | |
648 @code{special-display-buffer-names} and it has no effect, check to see | |
649 whether that feature is also in use for the same buffer name. | |

684 Specify color @var{color} for the border of the selected frame. | |
685 | |
686 @item M-x list-colors-display | |
687 Display the defined color names and show what the colors look like. | |
688 This command is somewhat slow. | |
689 | |
690 @item M-x auto-raise-mode | |
691 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-raise. Auto-raise | |
692 means that every time you move the mouse onto the frame, it raises the | |
693 frame. | |
694 | |
695 Note that this auto-raise feature is implemented by Emacs itself. Some | |
696 window managers also implement auto-raise. If you enable auto-raise for | |
697 Emacs frames in your X window manager, it should work, but it is beyond | |
698 Emacs's control and therefore @code{auto-raise-mode} has no effect on | |
699 it. | |
700 | |
701 @item M-x auto-lower-mode | |
702 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-lower. | |
703 Auto-lower means that every time you move the mouse off the frame, | |
704 the frame moves to the bottom of the stack of X windows. | |
705 | |
706 The command @code{auto-lower-mode} has no effect on auto-lower | |
707 implemented by the X window manager. To control that, you must use | |
708 the appropriate window manager features. | |
709 | |
710 @findex set-frame-font | |
711 @item M-x set-frame-font @key{RET} @var{font} @key{RET} | |
712 @cindex font (principal) | |
713 Specify font @var{font} as the principal font for the selected frame. | |
714 The principal font controls several face attributes of the | |
715 @code{default} face (@pxref{Faces}). For example, if the principal font | |
716 has a height of 12 pt, all text will be drawn in 12 pt fonts, unless you | |
717 use another face that specifies a different height. @xref{Font X}, for | |

996 If your terminal does not have a window system that Emacs supports, | |
997 then it can display only one Emacs frame at a time. However, you can | |
998 still create multiple Emacs frames, and switch between them. Switching | |
999 frames on these terminals is much like switching between different | |
1000 window configurations. | |
1001 | |
1002 Use @kbd{C-x 5 2} to create a new frame and switch to it; use @kbd{C-x | |
1003 5 o} to cycle through the existing frames; use @kbd{C-x 5 0} to delete | |
1004 the current frame. | |
1005 | |
1006 Each frame has a number to distinguish it. If your terminal can | |
1007 display only one frame at a time, the selected frame's number @var{n} | |
1008 appears near the beginning of the mode line, in the form | |
1009 @samp{F@var{n}}. | |

1011 @findex set-frame-name | |
1012 @findex select-frame-by-name | |
1013 @samp{F@var{n}} is actually the frame's name. You can also specify a | |
1014 different name if you wish, and you can select a frame by its name. Use | |
1015 the command @kbd{M-x set-frame-name @key{RET} @var{name} @key{RET}} to | |
1016 specify a new name for the selected frame, and use @kbd{M-x | |
1017 select-frame-by-name @key{RET} @var{name} @key{RET}} to select a frame | |
1018 according to its name. The name you specify appears in the mode line | |
