emacs + maximum window size / maximum frame size + default home dir

emacs + maximum window size / maximum frame size + default home dir

[rkv]

Hello all,

i would like to set the maximum window size by default in my emacs init file
.

As of now from X windows when ever i open i have to do the alt+space+X to
maximize the window.

And also i would like to put my defualt dir from the home dir to some other
path in the .init file .

As of now it is the /home/<user>/ dir where again i have to navigate or give
whole path in c-x c-f .

if any body can help it would save lot of time for me.

regards
rkv

I got the solution .. 

below is the statements i added to .emacs in my home dir which worked for
me..


(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(inhibit-startup-screen nil)
 '(initial-buffer-choice "~/projects/DHMMarvell/Software/SW"))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )

Haven't done this myself. May be this will help or is a good place to
start.

The variables default-frame-alist and initial-frame-alist exist.

You could put into your init file something like

	(setenv "HOME" (concat (getenv "HOME") path-separator "some/ 
directory"))

A side-effect of this would that C-x d ~ RET would not open your real  
home directory but the faked $HOME.
