Subject: bug#34516: Multi-monitor frame sets
Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2019 21:34:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bm3a74s4.fsf@mail.linkov.net> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 236 bytes --]
Shouldn't frame.el provide a command like make-frame-on-display,
but to make a frame on the specified monitor instead of display?
Isn't the following patch the right way to do this?
(It also adds completion for the existing command):
