My understanding is that elscreen was meant to allow the make-frame-command to more closely behave in X as it does under -nw mode. Interestingly, I use elscreen with emacs under -nw mode, which is somewhat redunant with the make-frame-command in this case. I just like the way elscreen sets up the tabs, and it's behavior is incredibly close to that of screen, which I'm also a rather fanatic user of :) > I actually like to have multiple frames: I fire up multiple emacs > applications in distinct frames and then use Mac OS X's excellent > Expose feature to move among my frames. I've found that more frames takes more real-estate and forces me to use the mouse more. Fewer frames with (el)screen allows me to not move around so much, but have just as much going on in a smaller amount of screen space.a I also am not a huge fan of Expose. Actually, I've found over the past year or so, that I'm not entirely crazy about the Mac interface at all. I work in X almost exclusively, and the Carbon/X integration is basically non-existant. Though, I've become a big fan of WorkspaceManager, which does a decent job of virtual workspaces for Mac OS X. > I also played around with Drew Adams's 1on1 > (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OneOnOneEmacs), but this seemed > to be overkill, generally speaking.

I've found in general, that building emacs from CVS and running it under X seems to work better than Carbon Emacs, though that could just be my proclivity for running under X :) > Remember is "always there" even when one commits a frame to the > Planner :-> Right, as long as remember can, then I don't have to :) -- Seeya, Paul _______________________________________________ emacs-wiki-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-wiki-discuss
