Is there some way to make a frame (its contents) read-only? I could of course make each of its currently displayed buffers read-only, but that would also make them read-only in other frames, which I do not want to do. Any ideas? - Drew ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

There is no way I no of, but maybe you can use an indirect buffer with another keymap? (Though I am absolutely no expert on this - I believe you can have another keymap, but I am actually not sure.) - Lennart ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

There is no way I no of, but maybe you can use an indirect buffer with another keymap? (Though I am absolutely no expert on this - I believe you can have another keymap, but I am actually not sure.) I want to be able to make any frame read-only, regardless of the buffers that happen to be in it currently. FYI, the application I have in mind is thumbnail frames. These are currently just miniature frames, so they are completely functional. Because of this, you could easily modify something inadvertently, without seeing what you're doing (which is not good). Read-only functionality (scrolling, searching, displaying process output dynamically, restoring to full size) is desirable, however, so plain images wouldn't be a good substitute. Here is an explanation of the application, for more info: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/FisheyeWithThumbs. - Drew ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
