648 @node Speedbar | |
649 @section Speedbar Frames | |
650 @cindex speedbar | |
651 | |
652 @cindex attached frame (of speedbar) | |
653 The @dfn{speedbar} is a special frame for conveniently navigating in | |
654 or operating on another frame. The speedbar, when it exists, is | |
655 always associated with a specific frame, called its @dfn{attached | |
656 frame}; all speedbar operations act on that frame. | |
657 | |
658 Type @kbd{M-x speedbar} to create the speedbar and associate it with | |
659 the current frame. To dismiss the speedbar, type @kbd{M-x speedbar} | |
660 again, or select the speedbar and type @kbd{q}. (You can also delete | |
661 the speedbar frame like any other Emacs frame.) If you wish to | |
662 associate the speedbar with a different frame, dismiss it and call | |
663 @kbd{M-x speedbar} from that frame. | |
664 | |
665 The speedbar can operate in various modes. Its default mode is | |
666 @dfn{File Display} mode, which shows the files in the current | |
667 directory of the selected window of the attached frame, one file per | |
668 line. Clicking on a file name visits that file in the selected window | |
669 of the attached frame, and clicking on a directory name shows that | |
670 directory in the speedbar (@pxref{Mouse References}). Each line also | |
671 has a box, @samp{[+]} or @samp{<+>}, that you can click on to | |
672 @dfn{expand} the contents of that item. Expanding a directory adds | |
673 the contents of that directory to the speedbar display, underneath the | |
674 directory's own line. Expanding an ordinary file adds a list of the | |
675 tags in that file to the speedbar display; you can click on a tag name | |
676 to jump to that tag in the selected window of the attached frame. | |
677 When a file or directory is expanded, the @samp{[+]} changes to | |
678 @samp{[-]}; you can click on that box to @dfn{contract} the item, | |
679 hiding its contents. | |
680 | |
681 You navigate through the speedbar using the keyboard, too. Typing | |
682 @kbd{RET} while point is on a line in the speedbar is equivalent to | |
683 clicking the item on the current line, and @kbd{SPC} expands or | |
684 contracts the item. @kbd{U} displays the parent directory of the | |
685 current directory. To copy, delete, or rename the file on the current | |
686 line, type @kbd{C}, @kbd{D}, and @kbd{R} respectively. To create a | |
687 new directory, type @kbd{M}. | |
688 | |
689 Another general-purpose speedbar mode is @dfn{Buffer Display} mode; | |
690 in this mode, the speedbar displays a list of Emacs buffers. To | |
691 switch to this mode, type @kbd{b} in the speedbar. To return to File | |
692 Display mode, type @kbd{f}. You can also change the display mode by | |
693 clicking @kbd{mouse-3} anywhere in the speedbar window (or | |
694 @kbd{mouse-1} on the mode-line) and selecting @samp{Displays} in the | |
695 pop-up menu. | |
696 | |
697 Some major modes, including Rmail mode, Info, and GUD, have | |
698 specialized ways of putting useful items into the speedbar for you to | |
699 select. For example, in Rmail mode, the speedbar shows a list of Rmail | |
700 files, and lets you move the current message to another Rmail file by | |
701 clicking on its @samp{<M>} box. | |
702 | |
703 For more details on using and programming the speedbar, @xref{Top, | |
704 Speedbar,,speedbar, Speedbar Manual}. | |

707 @section Multiple Displays | |
708 @cindex multiple displays | |
709 | |
710 A single Emacs can talk to more than one X display. Initially, Emacs | |
711 uses just one display---the one specified with the @env{DISPLAY} | |
712 environment variable or with the @samp{--display} option (@pxref{Initial | |
713 Options}). To connect to another display, use the command | |
714 @code{make-frame-on-display}: | |
715 | |
716 @findex make-frame-on-display | |
717 @table @kbd | |

722 A single X server can handle more than one screen. When you open | |
723 frames on two screens belonging to one server, Emacs knows they share a | |
724 single keyboard, and it treats all the commands arriving from these | |
725 screens as a single stream of input. | |
726 | |

737 @node Special Buffer Frames | |
738 @section Special Buffer Frames | |
739 | |
740 @vindex special-display-buffer-names | |
741 You can make certain chosen buffers, which Emacs normally displays | |
742 in ``another window,'' appear in special frames of their own. To do | |
743 this, set the variable @code{special-display-buffer-names} to a list | |
744 of buffer names; any buffer whose name is in that list automatically | |
745 gets a special frame, when an Emacs command wants to display it ``in | |
746 another window.'' | |
747 | |
748 For example, if you set the variable this way, | |
749 | |
750 @example | |
751 (setq special-display-buffer-names | |
752 '("*Completions*" "*grep*" "*tex-shell*")) | |
753 @end example | |
754 | |
755 @noindent | |
756 then completion lists, @code{grep} output and the @TeX{} mode shell | |
757 buffer get individual frames of their own. These frames, and the | |
758 windows in them, are never automatically split or reused for any other | |
759 buffers. They continue to show the buffers they were created for, | |
760 unless you alter them by hand. Killing the special buffer deletes its | |
761 frame automatically. | |
762 | |
763 @vindex special-display-regexps | |
764 More generally, you can set @code{special-display-regexps} to a list | |
765 of regular expressions; then a buffer gets its own frame if its name | |
766 matches any of those regular expressions. (Once again, this applies only | |
767 to buffers that normally get displayed for you in ``another window.'') | |
768 | |
769 @vindex special-display-frame-alist | |
770 The variable @code{special-display-frame-alist} specifies the frame | |
771 parameters for these frames. It has a default value, so you don't need | |
772 to set it. | |
773 | |
774 For those who know Lisp, an element of | |
775 @code{special-display-buffer-names} or @code{special-display-regexps} | |
776 can also be a list. Then the first element is the buffer name or | |
777 regular expression; the rest of the list specifies how to create the | |
778 frame. It can be an association list specifying frame parameter | |
779 values; these values take precedence over parameter values specified | |
780 in @code{special-display-frame-alist}. If you specify the symbol | |
781 @code{same-window} as a ``frame parameter'' in this list, with a | |
782 non-@code{nil} value, that means to use the selected window if | |
783 possible. If you use the symbol @code{same-frame} as a ``frame | |
784 parameter'' in this list, with a non-@code{nil} value, that means to | |
785 use the selected frame if possible. | |
786 | |
787 Alternatively, the value can have this form: | |
788 | |
789 @example | |
790 (@var{function} @var{args}...) | |
791 @end example | |
792 | |
793 @noindent | |
794 where @var{function} is a symbol. Then the frame is constructed by | |
795 calling @var{function}; its first argument is the buffer, and its | |
796 remaining arguments are @var{args}. | |
797 | |
798 An analogous feature lets you specify buffers which should be | |
799 displayed in the selected window. @xref{Force Same Window}. The | |
800 same-window feature takes precedence over the special-frame feature; | |
801 therefore, if you add a buffer name to | |
802 @code{special-display-buffer-names} and it has no effect, check to see | |
803 whether that feature is also in use for the same buffer name. | |

813 @table @kbd | |
814 @findex auto-raise-mode | |
815 @item M-x auto-raise-mode | |
816 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-raise. Auto-raise | |
817 means that every time you move the mouse onto the frame, it raises the | |
818 frame. | |
819 | |
820 Some window managers also implement auto-raise. If you enable | |
821 auto-raise for Emacs frames in your window manager, it will work, but | |
822 it is beyond Emacs' control, so @code{auto-raise-mode} has no effect | |
823 on it. | |
824 | |
825 @findex auto-lower-mode | |
826 @item M-x auto-lower-mode | |
827 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-lower. | |
828 Auto-lower means that every time you move the mouse off the frame, | |
829 the frame moves to the bottom of the stack on the screen. | |
830 | |
831 The command @code{auto-lower-mode} has no effect on auto-lower | |
832 implemented by the window manager. To control that, you must use the | |
833 appropriate window manager features. | |
834 @end table | |
835 | |
836 In Emacs versions that use an X toolkit, the color-setting and | |
837 font-setting functions don't affect menus and the menu bar, since they | |
838 are displayed by their own widget classes. To change the appearance of | |
839 the menus and menu bar, you must use X resources (@pxref{Resources}). | |
840 @xref{Colors}, regarding colors. @xref{Font X}, regarding choice of | |
841 font. | |
842 | |
843 Colors, fonts, and other attributes of the frame's display can also | |
844 be customized by setting frame parameters in the variable | |
845 @code{default-frame-alist} (@pxref{Creating Frames}). For a detailed | |
846 description of frame parameters and customization, see @ref{Frame | |

912 Some mice have a ``wheel'' instead of a third button. You can | |
913 usually click the wheel to act as either @kbd{Mouse-2} or | |
914 @kbd{Mouse-3}, depending on the setup. You can also use the wheel to | |
915 scroll windows instead of using the scroll bar or keyboard commands. | |
916 Mouse wheel support only works if the system generates appropriate | |
917 events; whenever possible, it is turned on by default. To toggle this | |

932 | |
933 Emacs supports @dfn{drag and drop} using the mouse. For instance, | |
934 dropping text onto an Emacs frame inserts the text where it is dropped. | |
935 Dropping a file onto an Emacs frame visits that file. As a special | |
936 case, dropping the file on a Dired buffer moves or copies the file | |
937 (according to the conventions of the application it came from) into the | |
938 directory displayed in that buffer. | |
939 | |
940 @vindex dnd-open-file-other-window | |
941 Dropping a file normally visits it in the window you drop it on. If | |
942 you prefer to visit the file in a new window in such cases, customize | |
943 the variable @code{dnd-open-file-other-window}. | |
944 | |
945 The XDND and Motif drag and drop protocols, and the old KDE 1.x | |
946 protocol, are currently supported. | |

955 You can turn display of menu bars on or off with @kbd{M-x | |
956 menu-bar-mode} or by customizing the variable @code{menu-bar-mode}. | |
957 With no argument, this command toggles Menu Bar mode, a | |
958 minor mode. With an argument, the command turns Menu Bar mode on if the | |
959 argument is positive, off if the argument is not positive. You can use | |
960 the X resource @samp{menuBarLines} to control the initial setting of | |
961 Menu Bar mode. @xref{Resources}. | |

963 @kindex C-Mouse-3 @r{(when menu bar is disabled)} | |
964 Expert users often turn off the menu bar, especially on text-only | |
965 terminals, where this makes one additional line available for text. | |
966 If the menu bar is off, you can still pop up a menu of its contents | |
967 with @kbd{C-Mouse-3} on a display which supports pop-up menus. | |

980 The @dfn{tool bar} is a line (or lines) of icons at the top of the | |
981 Emacs window, just below the menu bar. You can click on these icons | |
982 with the mouse to do various jobs. | |
983 | |
984 The global tool bar contains general commands. Some major modes | |
985 define their own tool bars to replace it. A few ``special'' modes | |
986 that are not designed for ordinary editing remove some items from the | |
987 global tool bar. | |
988 | |
989 Tool bars work only on a graphical display. The tool bar uses colored | |
990 XPM icons if Emacs was built with XPM support. Otherwise, the tool | |
991 bar uses monochrome icons (PBM or XBM format). | |

1046 @dfn{Tooltips} are small windows that display text information at the | |
1047 current mouse position. They activate when there is a pause in mouse | |
1048 movement. There are two types of tooltip: help tooltips and GUD | |
1049 tooltips. | |
1050 | |
1051 @dfn{Help tooltips} typically display over text---including the mode | |
1052 line---but are also available for other parts of the Emacs frame, such | |
1053 as the tool bar and menu items. | |
1054 | |
1055 @findex tooltip-mode | |
1056 You can toggle display of help tooltips (Tooltip mode) with the | |
1057 command @kbd{M-x tooltip-mode}. When Tooltip mode is disabled, the | |
1058 help text is displayed in the echo area instead. | |
1059 | |

1061 you are debugging a program. @xref{Debugger Operation}. | |

1078 raises the frame. To use Mouse Avoidance mode, customize the variable | |
1079 @code{mouse-avoidance-mode}. You can set this to various values to | |
1080 move the mouse in several ways: | |
1081 | |

1083 @item banish | |
1084 Move the mouse to the upper-right corner on any key-press; | |
1085 @item exile | |
1086 Move the mouse to the corner only if the cursor gets too close, | |
1087 and allow it to return once the cursor is out of the way; | |
1088 @item jump | |
1089 If the cursor gets too close to the mouse, displace the mouse | |
1090 a random distance & direction; | |
1091 @item animate | |
1092 As @code{jump}, but shows steps along the way for illusion of motion; | |

1108 On a text-only terminal, Emacs can display only one Emacs frame at a | |
1109 time. However, you can still create multiple Emacs frames, and switch | |
1110 between them. Switching frames on these terminals is much like | |
1111 switching between different window configurations. | |
1112 | |
1113 Use @kbd{C-x 5 2} to create a new frame and switch to it; use @kbd{C-x | |
1114 5 o} to cycle through the existing frames; use @kbd{C-x 5 0} to delete | |
1115 the current frame. | |
1116 | |
1117 Each frame has a number to distinguish it. If your terminal can | |
1118 display only one frame at a time, the selected frame's number @var{n} | |
1119 appears near the beginning of the mode line, in the form | |
1120 @samp{F@var{n}}. | |
1121 | |
1122 @findex set-frame-name | |
1123 @findex select-frame-by-name | |
1124 @samp{F@var{n}} is in fact the frame's initial name. You can give | |
1125 frames more meaningful names if you wish, and you can select a frame | |
1126 by its name. Use the command @kbd{M-x set-frame-name @key{RET} | |
1127 @var{name} @key{RET}} to specify a new name for the selected frame, | |
1128 and use @kbd{M-x select-frame-by-name @key{RET} @var{name} @key{RET}} | |
1129 to select a frame according to its name. The name you specify appears | |
1130 in the mode line when the frame is selected. | |
