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 | 121 @item Mouse-2 |
122 Yank the last killed text, where you click (@code{mouse-yank-at-click}). | |
123 This is normally the middle button. | |
124 | |
125 @item Mouse-3 | |
126 This command, @code{mouse-save-then-kill}, has several functions | |
127 depending on where you click and the status of the region. | |
128 | |
129 The most basic case is when you click @kbd{Mouse-1} in one place and | |
130 then @kbd{Mouse-3} in another. This selects the text between those two | |
131 positions as the region. It also copies the new region to the kill | |
132 ring, so that you can copy it to someplace else. | |
133 | |
134 If you click @kbd{Mouse-1} in the text, scroll with the scroll bar, and | |
135 then click @kbd{Mouse-3}, it remembers where point was before scrolling | |
136 (where you put it with @kbd{Mouse-1}), and uses that position as the | |
137 other end of the region. This is so that you can select a region that | |
138 doesn't fit entirely on the screen. | |
139 | |
140 More generally, if you do not have a highlighted region, @kbd{Mouse-3} | |
141 selects the text between point and the click position as the region. It | |
142 does this by setting the mark where point was, and moving point to where | |
143 you click. | |
144 | |
145 If you have a highlighted region, or if the region was set just before | |
146 by dragging button 1, @kbd{Mouse-3} adjusts the nearer end of the region | |
147 by moving it to where you click. The adjusted region's text also | |
148 replaces the old region's text in the kill ring. | |
149 | |
150 If you originally specified the region using a double or triple | |
151 @kbd{Mouse-1}, so that the region is defined to consist of entire words | |
152 or lines, then adjusting the region with @kbd{Mouse-3} also proceeds by | |
153 entire words or lines. | |
154 | |
155 If you use @kbd{Mouse-3} a second time consecutively, at the same place, | |
156 that kills the region already selected. | |
157 | |
158 @item Double-Mouse-1 | |
159 This key sets the region around the word which you click on. If you | |
160 click on a character with ``symbol'' syntax (such as underscore, in C | |
161 mode), it sets the region around the symbol surrounding that character. | |
162 | |
163 If you click on a character with open-parenthesis or close-parenthesis | |
38205 | 164 syntax, it sets the region around the parenthetical grouping |
25829 | 165 which that character starts or ends. If you click on a character with |
166 string-delimiter syntax (such as a singlequote or doublequote in C), it | |
167 sets the region around the string constant (using heuristics to figure | |
168 out whether that character is the beginning or the end of it). | |
169 | |
170 @item Double-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
171 This key selects a region made up of the words you drag across. | |
172 | |
173 @item Triple-Mouse-1 | |
174 This key sets the region around the line you click on. | |
175 | |
176 @item Triple-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
177 This key selects a region made up of the lines you drag across. | |
178 @end table | |
179 | |
180 The simplest way to kill text with the mouse is to press @kbd{Mouse-1} | |
181 at one end, then press @kbd{Mouse-3} twice at the other end. | |
182 @xref{Killing}. To copy the text into the kill ring without deleting it | |
183 from the buffer, press @kbd{Mouse-3} just once---or just drag across the | |
184 text with @kbd{Mouse-1}. Then you can copy it elsewhere by yanking it. | |
185 | |
186 @vindex mouse-yank-at-point | |
187 To yank the killed or copied text somewhere else, move the mouse there | |
188 and press @kbd{Mouse-2}. @xref{Yanking}. However, if | |
189 @code{mouse-yank-at-point} is non-@code{nil}, @kbd{Mouse-2} yanks at | |
190 point. Then it does not matter where you click, or even which of the | |
191 frame's windows you click on. The default value is @code{nil}. This | |
192 variable also affects yanking the secondary selection. | |
193 | |
68542 | 194 @cindex cutting |
195 @cindex pasting | |
25829 | 196 @cindex X cutting and pasting |
68542 | 197 To copy text to another windowing application, kill it or save it in |
198 the kill ring. Then use the ``paste'' or ``yank'' command of the | |
199 other application to insert the text. | |
25829 | 200 |
68542 | 201 To copy text from another windowing application, use its ``cut'' or |
202 ``copy'' command to select the text you want. Then yank it in Emacs | |
203 with @kbd{C-y} or @kbd{Mouse-2}. | |
25829 | 204 |
205 @cindex primary selection | |
206 @cindex cut buffer | |
207 @cindex selection, primary | |
208 @vindex x-cut-buffer-max | |
68542 | 209 When Emacs puts text into the kill ring, or rotates text to the |
210 front of the kill ring, it sets the @dfn{primary selection} in the | |
211 window system. This is how other windowing applications can access | |
212 the text. On the X Window System, emacs also stores the text in the | |
213 cut buffer, but only if the text is short enough (the value of | |
214 @code{x-cut-buffer-max} specifies the maximum number of characters); | |
215 putting long strings in the cut buffer can be slow. | |
25829 | 216 |
217 The commands to yank the first entry in the kill ring actually check | |
218 first for a primary selection in another program; after that, they check | |
219 for text in the cut buffer. If neither of those sources provides text | |
220 to yank, the kill ring contents are used. | |
221 | |
68542 | 222 The standard coding system for X Window System selections is |
223 @code{compound-text-with-extensions}. To specify another coding | |
224 system for selections, use @kbd{C-x @key{RET} x} or @kbd{C-x @key{RET} | |
225 X}. @xref{Communication Coding}. | |
226 | |
25829 | 227 @node Secondary Selection |
228 @section Secondary Selection | |
229 @cindex secondary selection | |
230 | |
231 The @dfn{secondary selection} is another way of selecting text using | |
68542 | 232 the X Window System. It does not use point or the mark, so you can |
233 use it to kill text without setting point or the mark. | |
25829 | 234 |
235 @table @kbd | |
236 @findex mouse-set-secondary | |
237 @kindex M-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
238 @item M-Drag-Mouse-1 | |
239 Set the secondary selection, with one end at the place where you press | |
240 down the button, and the other end at the place where you release it | |
241 (@code{mouse-set-secondary}). The highlighting appears and changes as | |
37121 | 242 you drag. You can control the appearance of the highlighting by |
243 customizing the @code{secondary-selection} face (@pxref{Face | |
244 Customization}). | |
25829 | 245 |
246 If you move the mouse off the top or bottom of the window while | |
247 dragging, the window scrolls at a steady rate until you move the mouse | |
248 back into the window. This way, you can mark regions that don't fit | |
249 entirely on the screen. | |

453 | |
454 @table @kbd | |
455 @item C-x 5 2 | |
456 @kindex C-x 5 2 | |
457 @findex make-frame-command | |
458 Create a new frame (@code{make-frame-command}). | |
459 @item C-x 5 b @var{bufname} @key{RET} | |
460 Select buffer @var{bufname} in another frame. This runs | |
461 @code{switch-to-buffer-other-frame}. | |
462 @item C-x 5 f @var{filename} @key{RET} | |
463 Visit file @var{filename} and select its buffer in another frame. This | |
464 runs @code{find-file-other-frame}. @xref{Visiting}. | |
465 @item C-x 5 d @var{directory} @key{RET} | |
466 Select a Dired buffer for directory @var{directory} in another frame. | |
467 This runs @code{dired-other-frame}. @xref{Dired}. | |
468 @item C-x 5 m | |
469 Start composing a mail message in another frame. This runs | |
470 @code{mail-other-frame}. It is the other-frame variant of @kbd{C-x m}. | |
471 @xref{Sending Mail}. | |
472 @item C-x 5 . | |
473 Find a tag in the current tag table in another frame. This runs | |
474 @code{find-tag-other-frame}, the multiple-frame variant of @kbd{M-.}. | |
475 @xref{Tags}. | |
476 @item C-x 5 r @var{filename} @key{RET} | |
477 @kindex C-x 5 r | |
478 @findex find-file-read-only-other-frame | |
479 Visit file @var{filename} read-only, and select its buffer in another | |
480 frame. This runs @code{find-file-read-only-other-frame}. | |
481 @xref{Visiting}. | |
482 @end table | |
483 | |
484 @cindex default-frame-alist | |
485 @cindex initial-frame-alist | |
486 You can control the appearance of new frames you create by setting the | |
487 frame parameters in @code{default-frame-alist}. You can use the | |
488 variable @code{initial-frame-alist} to specify parameters that affect | |
489 only the initial frame. @xref{Initial Parameters,,, elisp, The Emacs | |
490 Lisp Reference Manual}, for more information. | |
491 | |
492 @cindex font (default) | |
493 The easiest way to specify the principal font for all your Emacs | |
494 frames is with an X resource (@pxref{Font X}), but you can also do it by | |
495 modifying @code{default-frame-alist} to specify the @code{font} | |
496 parameter, as shown here: | |
497 | |
498 @example | |
499 (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "10x20")) | |

636 | |
637 A single X server can handle more than one screen. When you open | |
638 frames on two screens belonging to one server, Emacs knows they share a | |
639 single keyboard, and it treats all the commands arriving from these | |
640 screens as a single stream of input. | |
641 | |
642 When you open frames on different X servers, Emacs makes a separate | |
643 input stream for each server. This way, two users can type | |
644 simultaneously on the two displays, and Emacs will not garble their | |
645 input. Each server also has its own selected frame. The commands you | |
646 enter with a particular X server apply to that server's selected frame. | |
647 | |
648 Despite these features, people using the same Emacs job from different | |
649 displays can still interfere with each other if they are not careful. | |
650 For example, if any one types @kbd{C-x C-c}, that exits the Emacs job | |
651 for all of them! | |
652 | |
653 @node Special Buffer Frames | |
654 @section Special Buffer Frames | |
655 | |
656 @vindex special-display-buffer-names | |
68542 | 657 You can make certain chosen buffers, which Emacs normally displays |
658 in ``another window,'' appear in special frames of their own. To do | |
659 this, set the variable @code{special-display-buffer-names} to a list | |
660 of buffer names; any buffer whose name is in that list automatically | |
661 gets a special frame, when an Emacs command wants to display it ``in | |
662 another window.'' | |
25829 | 663 |
664 For example, if you set the variable this way, | |
665 | |
666 @example | |
667 (setq special-display-buffer-names | |
668 '("*Completions*" "*grep*" "*tex-shell*")) | |
669 @end example | |
670 | |
671 @noindent | |
672 then completion lists, @code{grep} output and the @TeX{} mode shell | |
673 buffer get individual frames of their own. These frames, and the | |
674 windows in them, are never automatically split or reused for any other | |
675 buffers. They continue to show the buffers they were created for, | |
676 unless you alter them by hand. Killing the special buffer deletes its | |
677 frame automatically. | |
678 | |
679 @vindex special-display-regexps | |
680 More generally, you can set @code{special-display-regexps} to a list | |
681 of regular expressions; then a buffer gets its own frame if its name | |
682 matches any of those regular expressions. (Once again, this applies only | |
68542 | 683 to buffers that normally get displayed for you in ``another window.'') |
25829 | 684 |
685 @vindex special-display-frame-alist | |
686 The variable @code{special-display-frame-alist} specifies the frame | |
687 parameters for these frames. It has a default value, so you don't need | |
688 to set it. | |
689 | |
690 For those who know Lisp, an element of | |
691 @code{special-display-buffer-names} or @code{special-display-regexps} | |
692 can also be a list. Then the first element is the buffer name or | |
693 regular expression; the rest of the list specifies how to create the | |

703 Alternatively, the value can have this form: |

706 (@var{function} @var{args}...) | |
707 @end example | |
708 | |
709 @noindent | |
710 where @var{function} is a symbol. Then the frame is constructed by | |
711 calling @var{function}; its first argument is the buffer, and its | |
712 remaining arguments are @var{args}. | |
713 | |
714 An analogous feature lets you specify buffers which should be | |
715 displayed in the selected window. @xref{Force Same Window}. The | |
716 same-window feature takes precedence over the special-frame feature; | |
717 therefore, if you add a buffer name to | |
718 @code{special-display-buffer-names} and it has no effect, check to see | |
719 whether that feature is also in use for the same buffer name. | |

740 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-raise. Auto-raise | |
741 means that every time you move the mouse onto the frame, it raises the | |
742 frame. | |
743 | |
68542 | 744 Some window managers also implement auto-raise. If you enable |
745 auto-raise for Emacs frames in your window manager, it will work, but | |
746 it is beyond Emacs' control, so @code{auto-raise-mode} has no effect | |
747 on it. | |
25829 | 748 |
68542 | 749 @findex auto-lower-mode |
25829 | 750 @item M-x auto-lower-mode |
751 Toggle whether or not the selected frame should auto-lower. | |
752 Auto-lower means that every time you move the mouse off the frame, | |
68542 | 753 the frame moves to the bottom of the stack on the screen. |
25829 | 754 |
755 The command @code{auto-lower-mode} has no effect on auto-lower | |

68542 | 778 On graphical displays, Emacs normally makes a @dfn{scroll bar} at |
779 the left of each Emacs window.@footnote{Placing it at the left is | |
780 usually more useful with overlapping frames with text starting at the | |
781 left margin.} The scroll bar runs the height of the window, and shows | |
782 a moving rectangular inner box which represents the portion of the | |
783 buffer currently displayed. The entire height of the scroll bar | |
784 represents the entire length of the buffer. | |
25829 | 785 |
786 You can use @kbd{Mouse-2} (normally, the middle button) in the scroll | |
787 bar to move or drag the inner box up and down. If you move it to the | |
788 top of the scroll bar, you see the top of the buffer. If you move it to | |
789 the bottom of the scroll bar, you see the bottom of the buffer. | |
790 | |
791 The left and right buttons in the scroll bar scroll by controlled | |
792 increments. @kbd{Mouse-1} (normally, the left button) moves the line at | |
793 the level where you click up to the top of the window. @kbd{Mouse-3} | |
794 (normally, the right button) moves the line at the top of the window | |
795 down to the level where you click. By clicking repeatedly in the same | |
796 place, you can scroll by the same distance over and over. | |

1026 | |
68542 | 1027 On a text-only terminal, Emacs can display only one Emacs frame at a |
1028 time. However, you can still create multiple Emacs frames, and switch | |
1029 between them. Switching frames on these terminals is much like | |
1030 switching between different window configurations. | |
25829 | 1031 |
1032 Use @kbd{C-x 5 2} to create a new frame and switch to it; use @kbd{C-x | |
1033 5 o} to cycle through the existing frames; use @kbd{C-x 5 0} to delete | |
1034 the current frame. | |
1035 | |
1036 Each frame has a number to distinguish it. If your terminal can | |
1037 display only one frame at a time, the selected frame's number @var{n} | |
1038 appears near the beginning of the mode line, in the form | |
1039 @samp{F@var{n}}. | |
1040 | |
1041 @findex set-frame-name | |
1042 @findex select-frame-by-name | |
68542 | 1043 @samp{F@var{n}} is in fact the frame's initial name. You can give |
1044 frames more meaningful names if you wish, and you can select a frame | |
1045 by its name. Use the command @kbd{M-x set-frame-name @key{RET} | |
1046 @var{name} @key{RET}} to specify a new name for the selected frame, | |
1047 and use @kbd{M-x select-frame-by-name @key{RET} @var{name} @key{RET}} | |
1048 to select a frame according to its name. The name you specify appears | |
1049 in the mode line when the frame is selected. | |
