I'm using GNU Emacs 21.3.1 with python-mode 1.0alpha under Windows XP. Whenever I execute a command in an edit window (with py-execute-region), the output window steals the focus. How can I stop this happening?
I don't know any lisp, but I hacked together this routine so that that when I press ctrl+return the entire current block is executed. (defun py-execute-paragraph (vis) "Send the current paragraph to Python Don't know what vis does." (interactive "P") (save-excursion (forward-paragraph) (let ((end (point))) (backward-paragraph) (py-execute-region (point) end )))) (global-set-key [(ctrl return)] 'py-execute-paragraph) It seems to me (though I could well be wrong) that the focus stays in the edit window during the execution of this command (thanks to save-excursion); but the focus shifts to the command window whenever there is output, in this case a new prompt ">>>", in the routine py-comint-output-filter-function. I commented out the command (pop-to-buffer (current-buffer)) and now the command window no longer steals focus. But I don't know if this has any other side effects, or it there's a better way to prevent focus being stolen. Damon. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
