Convenient Speedbar

Convenient Speedbar

[Joe Riel]

I use speedbar, occasionally.  Because my emacs is normally full screen,
I manually readjust it and the speedbar frame to appropriate sizes.
What is a convenient way to automate this, so that when speedbar is
launched, the frames sizes and locations are automatically adjusted?

You can use `tile-frames-side-by-side' from library
`frame-cmds.el'.

It tiles frames equally, which might not be what you
want for speedbar plus others.  But you can use other
functions in the library to adjust widths etc.

You can also use worker function `frcmds-tile-frames'
to tile all (or some given list of) frames other than
speedbar into the screen rectangle that is your display
rectangle minus your speedbar frame.  That is, leave
the speedbar frame where it is and tile other frames
into the screen space outside the speedbar frame.
