I use both terminal mode and aquamacs but I will conclude my request with further criteria. Example : I have 'Control-C i' as a keybinding prefix, I can't remember all of the functions bound to that prefix. I press 'Control-C i Control h' and I get a help window. After refreshing my memory, I want to restore the window arrangement that existed previous to the display of the help window. I have the following preference: ------------------------------------------------- | To be be accomplished with a simple function. | | (this may not prove to be possible, however) | ------------------------------------------------- If despite my initial request, this need is deemed best met with a package, I will outline the criteria that I have for my emacs configuration. Hopefully any package recommendations will take that criteria into consideration. 1)My emacs configuration must perform completely without a pointing device (even 'tho one might be used). 2)My emacs configuration must perform completely within terminal mode (even 'tho gui mode may be used also). 3)Two different basic window layouts will be used - 4 windows on a desktop, 1 or 2 windows on a netbook (using SSH). Exceptions could be considered. 4)Little or no reliance on frames. Thanks in advance. -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com, http://www.tj49.com
