I've went through some of the available tutorials and I'm also a computer programmer, so I should at least pretend to understand emacs better :) Here's my question. I've been getting tired of manually calling fit-frame everytime I open a file with long lines (I have a wide-screen iMac so soft wrapping doesn't make much sense), and I would like to know if there's any easy way to tell emacs to call fit-frame everytime it opens a file. I tried to hook fit-frame to some of the hooks (specifically, after-make-frame) but it didn't seem to do much (at least in Aquamacs). Since I've noticed that Aquamacs sets the mark after each file opening, I tried to hook fit-frame to activate-mark-hook and that did the trick, except -- you guessed it -- my window is all over the screen everytime I select anything. Does anyone know what the correct hook would be to make fit-frame run each time I open a file? Or what's the correct way to do this?

Or what's the correct way to do this? Yes, see http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Shrink-Wrapping_Frames#AutoFitFrames. You need libraries `fit-frame.el' and `autofit-frame.el' (which might be included in Aquamacs), and you'll want to do this: (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'fit-frame) If you don't have the libraries, they are here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/fit-frame.el http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/autofit-frame.el However, you say that you have already tried `after-make-frame-hook'. Try again, with the above versions of the files. And perhaps someone who uses Aquamacs can speak to the Aquamacs problems you encountered. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

You need not replace anything, just to try a library - just load it. If it happens to help, then you can worry about how to replace what you have. > However, aren't I correct in assuming that the libraries (albeit not > necessarily the latest versions) are already in Aquamacs, since I can call > fit-frame manually and it works? I have no idea what is in Aquamacs. I don't use Aquamacs, I don't have access to an Apple machine, and I wasn't involved in adding my code to Aquamacs. If I had to guess, I'd guess that Aquamacs does something different with these libraries and `after-make-frame-functions'. But that's just a guess from ignorance. > Moreover, I can successfully associate it to some other hooks and > that works too. The only thing that doesn't work is > hooking fit-frame to after-make-frame-functions in particular. > This yields no visible results. I'm afraid I can't help you then. It works fine on other platforms. Perhaps Aquamacs does something special in this regard. Perhaps someone who is familiar with Aquamacs has a suggestion. Perhaps it has to do with the order of the functions in `after-make-frame-functions'. You might try changing the order or testing without any other functions in that hook, besides `fit-frame'. Perhaps it has to do with how Aquamacs and Apple create frames, and how that process interacts with `after-make-frame-functions'. Dunno. Did you say that it doesn't work only on files with long lines? Perhaps `fit-frame' is in fact being called, but it doesn't do what you expect. `fit-frame' does not fill or change your text in any way. The new frame width is based on the longest line in your buffer, so if you have long lines, then you'll have a wide frame. You can, however, control the maximum width in various ways (variables) - see the Commentary in fit-frame.el. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

After you load the *.el files with `load-file', do this (mentioned in the file Commentary): M-: (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'fit-frame) If that doesn't fix the problem, then take a look at the value of `after-make-frame-functions'. If it contains more than just `fit-frame', try setting it to nil (empty) and then adding `fit-frame' back again: M-: (setq after-make-frame-functions nil) M-: (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'fit-frame) The result should then be this: C-h v after-make-frame-functions ==> (fit-frame) Note: If there were additional functions, besides `fit-frame', in `after-make-frame-functions', then there might be a good reason for them to be there. ;-) The above procedure is just to try to see if `fit-frame' does the right thing at least when there are no other `after-make-frame-functions' present. If it does, then there is likely interference among those functions. In that case, you can try (starting with an empty list) adding them all back, in different orders (e.g. try `fit-frame' first or last), to see if that helps. You get the idea. But see my previous reply about long lines. It sounds like this might just be unrealistic expectations on your part. `fit-frame' makes the frame as wide as its longest line, but it respects maximum limits that you can set.

The dimensions of the new frames are now irrespective of the frame best fit (i.e., if I manually call fit-frame, the frame resizes).

I read everything you write carefully. I know (empirically) what fit- frame does and what it doesn't do, and we're not having a case of enforced line width limits (besides, those are accessible as configuration parameters within Aquamacs -- one of the reasons I thought fit-frame would be better integrated). Given this new information, is there anything else I could try? The problem started off pretty simple, but now seems to be getting hairier...

If `after-make-frame-functions' has value (fit-frame), then `fit-frame' should be called. You can do this to see if it is called: M-x debug-on-entry RET fit-frame RET You can cancel such debugging this way: M-x cancel-debug-on-entry RET If `fit-frame' is not being called, then you'll need to get some help from an Aquamacs user. It sounds to me like it is not getting called, because when you call it by hand it apparently works correctly. Make sure you spelled everything correctly. C-h v after-make-frame-functions should show this: (fit-frame) If `fit-frame' is getting called (as shown by entering the debugger), then you need to figure out why it doesn't fit the frame. Read the doc string of `fit-frame' to understand it, including the conditions under which it does nothing. It's possible that the values of the fit-frame user options (e.g. `fit-frame-inhibit-fitting-flag') are preventing resizing. Again, however, I doubt that it is getting called at all, since calling it manually does resize the frame correctly. > > The above procedure is just to try to see if `fit-frame' > > does the right thing at least when there are no other > > `after-make-frame-functions' present.

Do you see "If it does" and "In that case" in what I wrote? From what you wrote, it does not: `after-make-frame-functions' = (fit-frame) does not solve the problem. So the presence of `set-mode-style-after-make-frame' is not the problem. > I read everything you write carefully. I know (empirically) > what fit-frame does and what it doesn't do, and we're not > having a case of enforced line width limits (besides, those > are accessible as configuration parameters within Aquamacs -- > one of the reasons I thought fit-frame would be better integrated). Yes, and you said that it correctly resizes the frame when you call it manually. I suspect it is not being called, but I can't say why. I also don't know what you meant by it resizing OK with short lines, but not when there are long lines. If it works with short lines, then it would seem to be getting called as an after-make-frame function. Does it resize correctly with long-lines if you call it manually? Something doesn't make sense to me in your description. > Given this new information, is there anything else I could try? See above. If `fit-frame' is called, you can also try stepping through it in the debugger (`d') to see what it is doing. Why it might do something wrong when called in a hook and when called manually is unclear. I doubt that that is what's happening - I suspect that it is not called from the hook. > The problem started off pretty simple, but now seems to be > getting hairier... Aquamacs support is rather scarce, and I'm > surprised to discover that nobody from their team is on this > list also. Thank you for your support so far, I think that there are Aquamacs people who read this list. They might not be willing or able to help. The things you need to determine for sure are these: 1. Whether `fit-frame' gets called as an after-make-frame function. 2. Exactly what changes if you have short or long lines. If `fit-frame' is not called by the hook, then I cannot help you. If it is called but it doesn't DTRT, then I can try to help. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

This is what I get in the *Help* buffer: set-mode-style-after-make-frame is a Lisp function in `aquamacs- styles.el'. (set-mode-style-after-make-frame frame) Not documented.

That must've been my fault -- I expressed myself poorly (sorry, I'm not a native English speaker). When I call `fit-frame' manually, the frame is correctly resized to smaller if the lines are shorter than the current edge (within minimum limits), and bigger if the lines are soft-wrapped (also within maximum limits). I don't think that the problem is anywhere inside `fit-frame'. > > If `fit-frame' is not called by the hook, then I cannot help you. > If it is > called but it doesn't DTRT, then I can try to help. > That makes perfect sense and thank you again for your help so far.

I don't know, sorry. At least the problem is apparently not with `fit-frame'. I think you'll need to contact an Aquamacs expert. > Is there any way I can debug the hook itself, and maybe see why it > doesn't call `fit-frame'? Try debugging `make-frame'. There might be other code to debug instead or in addition, but I don't have the time now to search for it. If you `grep' the Lisp source files you might find code that runs the hook, and then you can debug that. You can also define a command that calls `find-file' (or whatever), and then debug that. Sooner or later, you will get to the hook. Good luck. Try also what Peter suggested: contacting an Aquamacs mailing list. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

(I presume you run one-buffer-one-frame-mode, that is, "Display Buffers in Separate Frames" is on in the Options menu.) To fit a frame, the `fit-frame' function needs to see the buffer contents. When you type C-x C-f, a new frame is opened, and then you are allowed to enter the name of the file to be loaded. This means that the `after- make-frame-functions' are run _before_ the file is loaded. The idea of using `after-make-frame-functions' is thus a kludge: it assumes that the frame is created after the file has been loaded. This is easy to see if you actually watch watch's happening when you press C-x C-f. As further hint: `fit-frame' works fine when you find files from the "Recent Files" menu. If you enter C-h k C-x C-f, you find that C-x C-f is bound to `aquamacs-find-file' in Aquamacs. That's something we can leverage. So, my solution is this (in addition to the code Drew suggested): (defadvice aquamacs-find-file (after fit activate) (fit-frame)) if you add that to your ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/ Preferences.el, `fit-frame' is called after each (interactive) aquamacs-find-file operation. Does that work for you? Maybe we'll add an option for users to easily enable frame fitting in such a situation - I think that'd be nice. > Aquamacs support is rather scarce, and I'm surprised to > discover that nobody from their team is on this list also. Can you substantiate that? What else have you tried with respect to support? Notice the support options on the website. -- http://aquamacs.org -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X http://aquamacs.org/donate -- Could we help you?
