Subject: bug#36839: 26.1: unique frame names
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 12:16:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190729161606.fyjwowadnuwe27zd@E15-2016.optimum.net> (raw)
Subject: 26.1; unique frame names
By default, emacs creates frames with unique names, in the form "Fnn".
Emacs also offers a documented variable `default-frame-alist', which one
can use to customize frame parameters, one of which is NAME. However, I
don't see documented anywhere how to specify that frame names should be
unique, and when setting the NAME parameter, all new frames are created with
identical names:
(setq default-frame-alist '((name . "Frame_%")))
My attempt to trace the code ended with `make-terminal-frame', a
built-in function in ‘src/frame.c’, since I don't have that source file handy.
My expectation is that emacs should by default create frames with unique
names, similar to how it uniquely names buffers, by appending a number
to what would otherwise be a duplicate name.
