8 | |
68542 | 9 When using a graphical display, you can create multiple windows at |
10 the system in a single Emacs session. Each system-level window that | |
11 belongs to Emacs displays a @dfn{frame} which can contain one or | |
12 several Emacs windows. A frame initially contains a single | |
13 general-purpose Emacs window which you can subdivide vertically or | |
14 horizontally into smaller windows. A frame normally contains its own | |
15 echo area and minibuffer, but you can make frames that don't have | |
16 these---they use the echo area and minibuffer of another frame. | |
25829 | 17 |
68542 | 18 To avoid confusion, we reserve the word ``window'' for the |
19 subdivisions that Emacs implements, and never use it to refer to a | |
20 frame. | |
21 | |
22 Editing you do in one frame affects the other frames. For | |
25829 | 23 instance, if you put text in the kill ring in one frame, you can yank it |
24 in another frame. If you exit Emacs through @kbd{C-x C-c} in one frame, | |
25 it terminates all the frames. To delete just one frame, use @kbd{C-x 5 | |
37121 | 26 0} (that is zero, not @kbd{o}). |
25829 | 27 |
68542 | 28 Emacs compiled for MS-DOS emulates some windowing functionality, |
25829 | 29 so that you can use many of the features described in this chapter. |

25829 | 132 @item Mouse-2 |
133 Yank the last killed text, where you click (@code{mouse-yank-at-click}). | |
134 This is normally the middle button. | |
135 | |
136 @item Mouse-3 | |
137 This command, @code{mouse-save-then-kill}, has several functions | |
138 depending on where you click and the status of the region. | |
139 | |
140 The most basic case is when you click @kbd{Mouse-1} in one place and | |
141 then @kbd{Mouse-3} in another. This selects the text between those two | |
142 positions as the region. It also copies the new region to the kill | |
143 ring, so that you can copy it to someplace else. | |
144 | |
145 If you click @kbd{Mouse-1} in the text, scroll with the scroll bar, and | |
146 then click @kbd{Mouse-3}, it remembers where point was before scrolling | |
147 (where you put it with @kbd{Mouse-1}), and uses that position as the | |
148 other end of the region. This is so that you can select a region that | |
149 doesn't fit entirely on the screen. | |
150 | |
151 More generally, if you do not have a highlighted region, @kbd{Mouse-3} | |
152 selects the text between point and the click position as the region. It | |
153 does this by setting the mark where point was, and moving point to where | |
154 you click. | |
155 | |
156 If you have a highlighted region, or if the region was set just before | |
157 by dragging button 1, @kbd{Mouse-3} adjusts the nearer end of the region | |
158 by moving it to where you click. The adjusted region's text also | |
159 replaces the old region's text in the kill ring. | |
160 | |
161 If you originally specified the region using a double or triple | |
162 @kbd{Mouse-1}, so that the region is defined to consist of entire words | |
163 or lines, then adjusting the region with @kbd{Mouse-3} also proceeds by | |
164 entire words or lines. | |
165 | |
166 If you use @kbd{Mouse-3} a second time consecutively, at the same place, | |
167 that kills the region already selected. | |
168 @end table | |
169 | |
170 The simplest way to kill text with the mouse is to press @kbd{Mouse-1} | |
171 at one end, then press @kbd{Mouse-3} twice at the other end. | |
172 @xref{Killing}. To copy the text into the kill ring without deleting it | |
173 from the buffer, press @kbd{Mouse-3} just once---or just drag across the | |
174 text with @kbd{Mouse-1}. Then you can copy it elsewhere by yanking it. | |
175 | |
176 @vindex mouse-yank-at-point | |
177 To yank the killed or copied text somewhere else, move the mouse there | |
178 and press @kbd{Mouse-2}. @xref{Yanking}. However, if | |
179 @code{mouse-yank-at-point} is non-@code{nil}, @kbd{Mouse-2} yanks at | |
180 point. Then it does not matter where you click, or even which of the | |
181 frame's windows you click on. The default value is @code{nil}. This | |
182 variable also affects yanking the secondary selection. | |

202 the kill ring. Then use the ``paste'' or ``yank'' command of the | |
203 other application to insert the text. | |
25829 | 204 |
68542 | 205 To copy text from another windowing application, use its ``cut'' or |

68542 | 213 When Emacs puts text into the kill ring, or rotates text to the |
214 front of the kill ring, it sets the @dfn{primary selection} in the | |
215 window system. This is how other windowing applications can access | |
216 the text. On the X Window System, emacs also stores the text in the | |
217 cut buffer, but only if the text is short enough (the value of | |
218 @code{x-cut-buffer-max} specifies the maximum number of characters); | |
219 putting long strings in the cut buffer can be slow. | |
25829 | 220 |
221 The commands to yank the first entry in the kill ring actually check | |
222 first for a primary selection in another program; after that, they check | |
223 for text in the cut buffer. If neither of those sources provides text | |
224 to yank, the kill ring contents are used. | |
225 | |
68542 | 226 The standard coding system for X Window System selections is |
227 @code{compound-text-with-extensions}. To specify another coding | |
228 system for selections, use @kbd{C-x @key{RET} x} or @kbd{C-x @key{RET} | |
229 X}. @xref{Communication Coding}. | |

262 | |
263 The @dfn{secondary selection} is another way of selecting text using | |
68542 | 264 the X Window System. It does not use point or the mark, so you can |
265 use it to kill text without setting point or the mark. | |

268 @findex mouse-set-secondary | |

271 Set the secondary selection, with one end at the place where you press | |
272 down the button, and the other end at the place where you release it | |
273 (@code{mouse-set-secondary}). The highlighting appears and changes as | |
37121 | 274 you drag. You can control the appearance of the highlighting by |
275 customizing the @code{secondary-selection} face (@pxref{Face | |
276 Customization}). | |
25829 | 277 |
278 If you move the mouse off the top or bottom of the window while | |
279 dragging, the window scrolls at a steady rate until you move the mouse | |
280 back into the window. This way, you can mark regions that don't fit | |
281 entirely on the screen. | |

669 A single X server can handle more than one screen. When you open | |
670 frames on two screens belonging to one server, Emacs knows they share a | |
671 single keyboard, and it treats all the commands arriving from these | |
672 screens as a single stream of input. | |
673 | |
674 When you open frames on different X servers, Emacs makes a separate | |
675 input stream for each server. This way, two users can type | |
676 simultaneously on the two displays, and Emacs will not garble their | |
677 input. Each server also has its own selected frame. The commands you | |
678 enter with a particular X server apply to that server's selected frame. | |
679 | |
680 Despite these features, people using the same Emacs job from different | |
681 displays can still interfere with each other if they are not careful. | |
682 For example, if any one types @kbd{C-x C-c}, that exits the Emacs job | |
683 for all of them! | |
684 | |
685 @node Special Buffer Frames | |
686 @section Special Buffer Frames | |
687 | |
688 @vindex special-display-buffer-names | |
68542 | 689 You can make certain chosen buffers, which Emacs normally displays |
690 in ``another window,'' appear in special frames of their own. To do | |
691 this, set the variable @code{special-display-buffer-names} to a list | |
692 of buffer names; any buffer whose name is in that list automatically | |
693 gets a special frame, when an Emacs command wants to display it ``in | |
694 another window.'' | |
25829 | 695 |
696 For example, if you set the variable this way, | |
697 | |
698 @example | |
699 (setq special-display-buffer-names | |
700 '("*Completions*" "*grep*" "*tex-shell*")) | |
701 @end example | |
702 | |
703 @noindent | |
704 then completion lists, @code{grep} output and the @TeX{} mode shell | |
705 buffer get individual frames of their own. These frames, and the | |
706 windows in them, are never automatically split or reused for any other | |
707 buffers. They continue to show the buffers they were created for, | |
708 unless you alter them by hand. Killing the special buffer deletes its | |
709 frame automatically. | |
710 | |
711 @vindex special-display-regexps | |
712 More generally, you can set @code{special-display-regexps} to a list | |
713 of regular expressions; then a buffer gets its own frame if its name | |
714 matches any of those regular expressions. (Once again, this applies only | |
68542 | 715 to buffers that normally get displayed for you in ``another window.'') |
25829 | 716 |
717 @vindex special-display-frame-alist | |
718 The variable @code{special-display-frame-alist} specifies the frame | |
719 parameters for these frames. It has a default value, so you don't need | |
720 to set it. | |
721 | |
722 For those who know Lisp, an element of | |
723 @code{special-display-buffer-names} or @code{special-display-regexps} | |
724 can also be a list. Then the first element is the buffer name or | |
725 regular expression; the rest of the list specifies how to create the | |

735 Alternatively, the value can have this form: |

737 @example | |
738 (@var{function} @var{args}...) | |
739 @end example | |
740 | |
741 @noindent | |
742 where @var{function} is a symbol. Then the frame is constructed by | |
743 calling @var{function}; its first argument is the buffer, and its | |
744 remaining arguments are @var{args}. | |
745 | |
746 An analogous feature lets you specify buffers which should be | |
747 displayed in the selected window. @xref{Force Same Window}. The | |
748 same-window feature takes precedence over the special-frame feature; | |
749 therefore, if you add a buffer name to | |
750 @code{special-display-buffer-names} and it has no effect, check to see | |
751 whether that feature is also in use for the same buffer name. | |

759 You can specify the font and colors used for text display, and the | |

761 customizing the faces @code{default}, @code{border}, @code{cursor} and | |
762 @code{mouse}. @xref{Face Customization}. You can also set a frame's | |
763 default font through a pop-up menu. Press @kbd{S-Mouse-1} to activate | |
764 this menu. | |
25829 | 765 |
68542 | 766 These commands are available for controlling the window management |
767 behavior of the selected frame. | |

25829 | 769 @table @kbd |
68542 | 770 @findex auto-raise-mode |
25829 | 771 @item M-x auto-raise-mode |
772 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-raise. Auto-raise | |
773 means that every time you move the mouse onto the frame, it raises the | |
774 frame. | |
775 | |
68542 | 776 Some window managers also implement auto-raise. If you enable |
777 auto-raise for Emacs frames in your window manager, it will work, but | |
778 it is beyond Emacs' control, so @code{auto-raise-mode} has no effect | |
779 on it. | |
25829 | 780 |
68542 | 781 @findex auto-lower-mode |
25829 | 782 @item M-x auto-lower-mode |
783 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-lower. | |
784 Auto-lower means that every time you move the mouse off the frame, | |
68542 | 785 the frame moves to the bottom of the stack on the screen. |
25829 | 786 |
787 The command @code{auto-lower-mode} has no effect on auto-lower | |
68542 | 788 implemented by the window manager. To control that, you must use the |
789 appropriate window manager features. | |

809 | |
68542 | 810 On graphical displays, Emacs normally makes a @dfn{scroll bar} at |
811 the left of each Emacs window.@footnote{Placing it at the left is | |
812 usually more useful with overlapping frames with text starting at the | |
813 left margin.} The scroll bar runs the height of the window, and shows | |
814 a moving rectangular inner box which represents the portion of the | |
815 buffer currently displayed. The entire height of the scroll bar | |
816 represents the entire length of the buffer. | |
25829 | 817 |
818 You can use @kbd{Mouse-2} (normally, the middle button) in the scroll | |
819 bar to move or drag the inner box up and down. If you move it to the | |
820 top of the scroll bar, you see the top of the buffer. If you move it to | |
821 the bottom of the scroll bar, you see the bottom of the buffer. | |
822 | |
823 The left and right buttons in the scroll bar scroll by controlled | |
824 increments. @kbd{Mouse-1} (normally, the left button) moves the line at | |
825 the level where you click up to the top of the window. @kbd{Mouse-3} | |
826 (normally, the right button) moves the line at the top of the window | |
827 down to the level where you click. By clicking repeatedly in the same | |
828 place, you can scroll by the same distance over and over. | |

68542 | 1059 On a text-only terminal, Emacs can display only one Emacs frame at a |
1060 time. However, you can still create multiple Emacs frames, and switch | |
1061 between them. Switching frames on these terminals is much like | |
1062 switching between different window configurations. | |
25829 | 1063 |
1064 Use @kbd{C-x 5 2} to create a new frame and switch to it; use @kbd{C-x | |
1065 5 o} to cycle through the existing frames; use @kbd{C-x 5 0} to delete | |
1066 the current frame. | |
1067 | |
1068 Each frame has a number to distinguish it. If your terminal can | |
1069 display only one frame at a time, the selected frame's number @var{n} | |
1070 appears near the beginning of the mode line, in the form | |

1076 frames more meaningful names if you wish, and you can select a frame | |
1077 by its name. Use the command @kbd{M-x set-frame-name @key{RET} | |
1078 @var{name} @key{RET}} to specify a new name for the selected frame, | |
1079 and use @kbd{M-x select-frame-by-name @key{RET} @var{name} @key{RET}} | |
1080 to select a frame according to its name. The name you specify appears | |
1081 in the mode line when the frame is selected. | |
