Automatically performing simple tasks at startup

Automatically performing simple tasks at startup

[roosh1]

I can't find a way for Emacs to do some simple things automatically at every
start-up. Can anyone help me make Emacs do the following things at start-up:

1) Split the window into 2 (I have to do a "C-x 2")

2) Run scheme in the  bottom  buffer (I do a "alt-x run-scheme")

3) If I open a scheme file (ie double click it, which starts Emacs), could
Emacs automatically do (1) and (2) and also load my file into the top
buffer. 

Thanks for any help.

Hi, roosh1,

You may use after-init-hook to do (1) and (2) at start-up. Sample code
is following:

(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'(lambda ()
			       (split-window-vertically)
			       (other-window 1)
			       (run-scheme "you-arg-here")))

Also you may add same code to the 'find-file-hook hook to do (3)
automatically.

Cheers

Would putting something like:

(split-window-above-each-other)
(other-window 1)
(run-scheme "scheme")
(other-window -1)

Somewhere (near the end?) of your ~/.emacs possibly do the trick?

Yes, it works! The only change I had to make was to put my scheme program
name: "stk" instead of "scheme" in line 3 of above.

Thanks so much.

Try this. Add the 3 lines to your .emacs.

(split-window-vertically)
(run-scheme)
(other-window 1)
