history in *shell*
|
| |
I really like working in *shell* (M-x shell). I use it constantly, but one minor annoyance with it is the way it lumps everything into its history, including commands that were executed within some other readline-enabled program (e.g. the python interpreter, the perl debugger, etc.) Is there a way to customize this behavior so that histories are... more »

| |
Hi, I'd like to load my .emacs from a remote location if possible. The problem is I'm on windows, and the time-out before recognizing that the file is unavailable is ridiculously long (minutes). Thus if the file is unavailable, emacs blocks for a long time at startup. I've tried basically doing (if (with-timeout (4)... more »

emacs (gtk version) and geometry weirdness
|
| |
Emacs's geometry behaves very weirdly if I'm using the GTK version. 1. When I run emacs with --geometry 80x45, I get one of two geometries at random (80x45 and 80x43). I just tried this 15 times in a row, and got a 7-8 breakup. I have the same setting in my .Xresources. I have menu-bar turned on. I'm sure I did not encounter this problem when the... more »
