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 | |
29 so that you can use many of the features described in this chapter. | |

25829 | 115 @item Mouse-2 |
116 Yank the last killed text, where you click (@code{mouse-yank-at-click}). | |
117 This is normally the middle button. | |
118 | |
119 @item Mouse-3 | |
120 This command, @code{mouse-save-then-kill}, has several functions | |
121 depending on where you click and the status of the region. | |
122 | |
123 The most basic case is when you click @kbd{Mouse-1} in one place and | |
124 then @kbd{Mouse-3} in another. This selects the text between those two | |
125 positions as the region. It also copies the new region to the kill | |
126 ring, so that you can copy it to someplace else. | |
127 | |
128 If you click @kbd{Mouse-1} in the text, scroll with the scroll bar, and | |
129 then click @kbd{Mouse-3}, it remembers where point was before scrolling | |
130 (where you put it with @kbd{Mouse-1}), and uses that position as the | |
131 other end of the region. This is so that you can select a region that | |
132 doesn't fit entirely on the screen. | |
133 | |
134 More generally, if you do not have a highlighted region, @kbd{Mouse-3} | |
135 selects the text between point and the click position as the region. It | |
136 does this by setting the mark where point was, and moving point to where | |
137 you click. | |
138 | |
139 If you have a highlighted region, or if the region was set just before | |
140 by dragging button 1, @kbd{Mouse-3} adjusts the nearer end of the region | |
141 by moving it to where you click. The adjusted region's text also | |
142 replaces the old region's text in the kill ring. | |
143 | |
144 If you originally specified the region using a double or triple | |
145 @kbd{Mouse-1}, so that the region is defined to consist of entire words | |
146 or lines, then adjusting the region with @kbd{Mouse-3} also proceeds by | |
147 entire words or lines. | |
148 | |
149 If you use @kbd{Mouse-3} a second time consecutively, at the same place, | |
150 that kills the region already selected. | |
151 | |
152 @item Double-Mouse-1 | |
153 This key sets the region around the word which you click on. If you | |
154 click on a character with ``symbol'' syntax (such as underscore, in C | |
155 mode), it sets the region around the symbol surrounding that character. | |
156 | |
157 If you click on a character with open-parenthesis or close-parenthesis | |
38205 | 158 syntax, it sets the region around the parenthetical grouping |
25829 | 159 which that character starts or ends. If you click on a character with |
160 string-delimiter syntax (such as a singlequote or doublequote in C), it | |
161 sets the region around the string constant (using heuristics to figure | |
162 out whether that character is the beginning or the end of it). | |
163 | |
164 @item Double-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
165 This key selects a region made up of the words you drag across. | |
166 | |
167 @item Triple-Mouse-1 | |
168 This key sets the region around the line you click on. | |
169 | |
170 @item Triple-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
171 This key selects a region made up of the lines you drag across. | |
172 @end table | |
173 | |
174 The simplest way to kill text with the mouse is to press @kbd{Mouse-1} | |
175 at one end, then press @kbd{Mouse-3} twice at the other end. | |
176 @xref{Killing}. To copy the text into the kill ring without deleting it | |
177 from the buffer, press @kbd{Mouse-3} just once---or just drag across the | |
178 text with @kbd{Mouse-1}. Then you can copy it elsewhere by yanking it. | |
179 | |
180 @vindex mouse-yank-at-point | |
181 To yank the killed or copied text somewhere else, move the mouse there | |
182 and press @kbd{Mouse-2}. @xref{Yanking}. However, if | |
183 @code{mouse-yank-at-point} is non-@code{nil}, @kbd{Mouse-2} yanks at | |
184 point. Then it does not matter where you click, or even which of the | |
185 frame's windows you click on. The default value is @code{nil}. This | |
186 variable also affects yanking the secondary selection. | |
187 | |
188 @cindex cutting and X | |
189 @cindex pasting and X | |
190 @cindex X cutting and pasting | |
191 To copy text to another X window, kill it or save it in the kill ring. | |
192 Under X, this also sets the @dfn{primary selection}. Then use the | |
193 ``paste'' or ``yank'' command of the program operating the other window | |
194 to insert the text from the selection. | |

208 @vindex x-cut-buffer-max | |
209 When Emacs puts text into the kill ring, or rotates text to the front | |
210 of the kill ring, it sets the @dfn{primary selection} in the X server. | |
211 This is how other X clients can access the text. Emacs also stores the | |
212 text in the cut buffer, but only if the text is short enough | |
37121 | 213 (the value of @code{x-cut-buffer-max} specifies the maximum number of |
214 characters); putting long strings in the cut buffer can be slow. | |
25829 | 215 |
216 The commands to yank the first entry in the kill ring actually check | |
217 first for a primary selection in another program; after that, they check | |
218 for text in the cut buffer. If neither of those sources provides text | |
219 to yank, the kill ring contents are used. | |
220 | |
221 @node Secondary Selection | |
222 @section Secondary Selection | |
223 @cindex secondary selection | |
224 | |
225 The @dfn{secondary selection} is another way of selecting text using | |
226 X. It does not use point or the mark, so you can use it to kill text | |
227 without setting point or the mark. | |
228 | |
229 @table @kbd | |
230 @findex mouse-set-secondary | |
231 @kindex M-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
232 @item M-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
233 Set the secondary selection, with one end at the place where you press | |
234 down the button, and the other end at the place where you release it | |
235 (@code{mouse-set-secondary}). The highlighting appears and changes as | |
37121 | 236 you drag. You can control the appearance of the highlighting by |
237 customizing the @code{secondary-selection} face (@pxref{Face | |
238 Customization}). | |
25829 | 239 |
240 If you move the mouse off the top or bottom of the window while | |
241 dragging, the window scrolls at a steady rate until you move the mouse | |
242 back into the window. This way, you can mark regions that don't fit | |
243 entirely on the screen. | |

436 The prefix key @kbd{C-x 5} is analogous to @kbd{C-x 4}, with parallel | |
437 subcommands. The difference is that @kbd{C-x 5} commands create a new | |
438 frame rather than just a new window in the selected frame (@pxref{Pop | |
439 Up Window}). If an existing visible or iconified frame already displays | |
440 the requested material, these commands use the existing frame, after | |

443 The various @kbd{C-x 5} commands differ in how they find or create the | |
444 buffer to select: | |
445 | |
446 @table @kbd | |
447 @item C-x 5 2 | |
448 @kindex C-x 5 2 | |

452 Select buffer @var{bufname} in another frame. This runs | |
453 @code{switch-to-buffer-other-frame}. | |
454 @item C-x 5 f @var{filename} @key{RET} | |
455 Visit file @var{filename} and select its buffer in another frame. This | |
456 runs @code{find-file-other-frame}. @xref{Visiting}. | |
457 @item C-x 5 d @var{directory} @key{RET} | |
458 Select a Dired buffer for directory @var{directory} in another frame. | |
459 This runs @code{dired-other-frame}. @xref{Dired}. | |
460 @item C-x 5 m | |
461 Start composing a mail message in another frame. This runs | |
462 @code{mail-other-frame}. It is the other-frame variant of @kbd{C-x m}. | |
463 @xref{Sending Mail}. | |
464 @item C-x 5 . | |
465 Find a tag in the current tag table in another frame. This runs | |
466 @code{find-tag-other-frame}, the multiple-frame variant of @kbd{M-.}. | |
467 @xref{Tags}. | |
468 @item C-x 5 r @var{filename} @key{RET} | |
469 @kindex C-x 5 r | |
470 @findex find-file-read-only-other-frame | |

472 frame. This runs @code{find-file-read-only-other-frame}. | |

474 @end table | |
475 | |
476 @cindex default-frame-alist | |
477 @cindex initial-frame-alist | |
478 You can control the appearance of new frames you create by setting the | |
479 frame parameters in @code{default-frame-alist}. You can use the | |
480 variable @code{initial-frame-alist} to specify parameters that affect | |
481 only the initial frame. @xref{Initial Parameters,,, elisp, The Emacs | |
482 Lisp Reference Manual}, for more information. | |
483 | |
484 @cindex font (default) | |
485 The easiest way to specify the principal font for all your Emacs | |
486 frames is with an X resource (@pxref{Font X}), but you can also do it by | |
487 modifying @code{default-frame-alist} to specify the @code{font} | |
488 parameter, as shown here: | |

620 | |
621 A single X server can handle more than one screen. When you open | |
622 frames on two screens belonging to one server, Emacs knows they share a | |
623 single keyboard, and it treats all the commands arriving from these | |
624 screens as a single stream of input. | |
625 | |
626 When you open frames on different X servers, Emacs makes a separate | |
627 input stream for each server. This way, two users can type | |
628 simultaneously on the two displays, and Emacs will not garble their | |
629 input. Each server also has its own selected frame. The commands you | |
630 enter with a particular X server apply to that server's selected frame. | |
631 | |
632 Despite these features, people using the same Emacs job from different | |
633 displays can still interfere with each other if they are not careful. | |
634 For example, if any one types @kbd{C-x C-c}, that exits the Emacs job | |
635 for all of them! | |
636 | |
637 @node Special Buffer Frames | |
638 @section Special Buffer Frames | |
639 | |
640 @vindex special-display-buffer-names | |
641 You can make certain chosen buffers, for which Emacs normally creates | |
642 a second window when you have just one window, appear in special frames | |
643 of their own. To do this, set the variable | |
644 @code{special-display-buffer-names} to a list of buffer names; any | |
645 buffer whose name is in that list automatically gets a special frame, | |
646 when an Emacs command wants to display it ``in another window.'' | |
647 | |
648 For example, if you set the variable this way, | |
649 | |
650 @example | |
651 (setq special-display-buffer-names | |
652 '("*Completions*" "*grep*" "*tex-shell*")) | |
653 @end example | |
654 | |
655 @noindent | |
656 then completion lists, @code{grep} output and the @TeX{} mode shell | |
657 buffer get individual frames of their own. These frames, and the | |
658 windows in them, are never automatically split or reused for any other | |
659 buffers. They continue to show the buffers they were created for, | |
660 unless you alter them by hand. Killing the special buffer deletes its | |
661 frame automatically. | |
662 | |
663 @vindex special-display-regexps | |
664 More generally, you can set @code{special-display-regexps} to a list | |
665 of regular expressions; then a buffer gets its own frame if its name | |
666 matches any of those regular expressions. (Once again, this applies only | |
667 to buffers that normally get displayed for you in a separate window.) | |
668 | |
669 @vindex special-display-frame-alist | |
670 The variable @code{special-display-frame-alist} specifies the frame | |
671 parameters for these frames. It has a default value, so you don't need | |
672 to set it. | |
673 | |
674 For those who know Lisp, an element of | |
675 @code{special-display-buffer-names} or @code{special-display-regexps} | |
676 can also be a list. Then the first element is the buffer name or | |
677 regular expression; the rest of the list specifies how to create the | |

687 Alternatively, the value can have this form: |

689 @example | |
690 (@var{function} @var{args}...) | |
691 @end example | |
692 | |
693 @noindent | |
694 where @var{function} is a symbol. Then the frame is constructed by | |
695 calling @var{function}; its first argument is the buffer, and its | |
696 remaining arguments are @var{args}. | |
697 | |
698 An analogous feature lets you specify buffers which should be | |
699 displayed in the selected window. @xref{Force Same Window}. The | |
700 same-window feature takes precedence over the special-frame feature; | |
701 therefore, if you add a buffer name to | |
702 @code{special-display-buffer-names} and it has no effect, check to see | |
703 whether that feature is also in use for the same buffer name. | |

751 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-raise. Auto-raise | |
752 means that every time you move the mouse onto the frame, it raises the | |
753 frame. | |
754 | |
755 Note that this auto-raise feature is implemented by Emacs itself. Some | |
756 window managers also implement auto-raise. If you enable auto-raise for | |
757 Emacs frames in your X window manager, it should work, but it is beyond | |
758 Emacs's control and therefore @code{auto-raise-mode} has no effect on | |
759 it. | |

765 | |
766 The command @code{auto-lower-mode} has no effect on auto-lower | |

768 the appropriate window manager features. | |

774 The principal font controls several face attributes of the | |
775 @code{default} face (@pxref{Faces}). For example, if the principal font | |
776 has a height of 12 pt, all text will be drawn in 12 pt fonts, unless you | |

1063 If your terminal does not have a window system that Emacs supports, | |
1064 then it can display only one Emacs frame at a time. However, you can | |
1065 still create multiple Emacs frames, and switch between them. Switching | |
1066 frames on these terminals is much like switching between different | |
1067 window configurations. | |
1068 | |
1069 Use @kbd{C-x 5 2} to create a new frame and switch to it; use @kbd{C-x | |
1070 5 o} to cycle through the existing frames; use @kbd{C-x 5 0} to delete | |
1071 the current frame. | |
1072 | |
1073 Each frame has a number to distinguish it. If your terminal can | |
1074 display only one frame at a time, the selected frame's number @var{n} | |
1075 appears near the beginning of the mode line, in the form | |
1076 @samp{F@var{n}}. | |

1082 the command @kbd{M-x set-frame-name @key{RET} @var{name} @key{RET}} to | |
1083 specify a new name for the selected frame, and use @kbd{M-x | |
1084 select-frame-by-name @key{RET} @var{name} @key{RET}} to select a frame | |
1085 according to its name. The name you specify appears in the mode line | |
