If this is not the case, then I'm sorry for the spam. --- Hi all! I'm new to emacs customising and I don't understand much Lisp. Here's what I'd like to do: When I open emacs, I'd like the main window to be positioned on the left side of the window. The size of the window should be screenheight - KDE-panel height (or maximum number of lines fitting in the screen) and the width should be 80 characters. Then I'd like the speedbar to be started automagically at launch time and it should be attached right next to the main window (on the right side, that is). The speedbar window should be the same height as the main window, and the width could be for example 25 characters. Now how do I edit my ~/.emacs-file? Here's what I found from the net. It's a start, but not much more... (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 80) '(width . 80)) ;;start speedbar if we're using a window system (when window-system (speedbar t)) Thanks for your advice. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Resizing-and-positioning-Emacs-main-window-and-speedbar-tf1930321.html#a5286857 Sent from the Emacs - Help forum at Nabble.com.
