Subject: Opening next operation in new frame/window
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2024 14:57:57 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12698.0820366711$1719230335@news.gmane.org> (raw)
Hey,
I'm using Emacs with a frame focused layout, meaning pop-up-frames and
frames-only-mode.
I want to open certain modes in a new frame that then contains a new
window dedicated to that mode so that when I call quit-window, like for
example in man or elfeed, the window will close and the new frame thous
too.
I looked into how quit-window works and noticed that it only destroys
the frame when the window inside it is dedicated.
I like to launch modes such as the before mentioned elfeed or vterm
from my desktop launcher like any other desktop app such that when I
close the buffer of those which only contains one window closes.
Some modes have helper functions to open in a new dedicated window such
as Gnus (gnus-other-window) or Info (info-other-window) where this is
easy e.g. as in emacsclient --create-frame --eval '(gnus-other-windwo)'.
Now I wonder is it the right approach to use
(set-window-dedicated-p) on the newly created window for elfeed to make
sure quit-window also kills the frame?
E.g. as in:
(defun elfeed-other-window ()
(set-window-dedicated-p (frame-selected-window) t)
(elfeed))
Similarly I want to do the same in the I use to launch emacs packages:
;; Start different emacs packages (like elfeed or mu4e)
(defhydra hydra-emacs-launcher (:color blue :hint nil)
"Launch emacs package"
("i" circe "Circe - IRC" :column "Apps")
("e" elfeed-summary "Elfeed - RSS/Atom Newsreader")
("t" transmission "Transmission - Torrent")
("g" gnus-other-frame "Gnus - Mail")
("m" mastodon "Mastodon.el - Mastodon")
("p" proced "proced")
("c" quick-calc "calc - Quick calc" :column "Utils")
("d" docker "docker")
("C" calendar "calendar")
("T" world-clock "time - Display world time")
("s" hydra-systemctl/body "Systemctl")
("j" journalctl "Journalctl")
("t" multi-vterm "Vterm" :column "Misc")
("b" brain-fm-play "brain.fm - Stream music")
("E" elisp-index-search "elisp-index-search")
("S" scrot "Screenshot with scrot")
("w" woman "woman - Man page viewer"))
Any other approaches welcome. I just want that quit-window
just deletes the frame if it doesn't contain other-windows.
Br,
Björn
