saving a layout

saving a layout

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

can I save more than 2 layouts to get back to when I need to.
C-x r w to save and C-x r j to jump to only allows me 2 layouts, what
about more than 2.

thanks

Sure you can. Save them with `C-x r w R' where R is a character naming
the register. You can restore them with `C-x r j R'.

Have a look at:

Why do you think that?

because I tried to jump to a saved register when I was at gnus but it
did not let me. thats after saving a char for the gnus.

Erm, do I get you right: You saved a window configuration of Gnus like
the one below?

+--------------------+
|                    |
|    *Summary*       |
|                    |
+--------------------+
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
|    *Article*       |
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
+--------------------+

If yes, then I suppose you left the summary buffer with `q' which
deletes this buffer. If you restore the window configuration later, the
the windows will be split correctly, but the summary buffer won't be
shown because it's deleted.
