Emacs frames position and dimensions are "learned" from user provided frame configurations, then restores them later. This is for users that prefer to resize Emacs frames with a key binding rather than the mouse.
To use this library:
- Position the frame how you like it.
- Record the frame with
M-x cframe-add-or-advance-setting
. - Restore previous settings on start up with
cframe-restore
. - Cycle through configurations with
cframe-add-or-advance-setting
.
You can get a list of the configuration and which is currently used with
cframe-list
.
Recommended ~/.emacs
configuration to restore the frame on start up:
(require 'cframe)
;; frame size settings based on screen dimentions
(global-set-key "\C-x9" 'cframe-restore)
;; doesn't clobber anything in shell, emacs lisp buffers (maybe others?)
(global-set-key "\C-\\" 'cframe-add-or-advance-setting)
An extensive changelog is available here.
