Perhaps you express that in an enigmatic manner. There is nothing visible in that alist allowing me to experience what you mentioned. Hide Minibuffer Frame Alist: Repeat: INS DEL Parameter: width Value: 80 INS DEL Parameter: height Value: 2 INS State : STANDARD. Alist of parameters for the initial minibuffer frame. Hide This is the minibuffer frame created if ‘initial-frame-alist’ calls for a frame without a minibuffer. The parameters specified here supersede those given in ‘default-frame-alist’, for the initial minibuffer frame. You can set this in your init file; for example, (setq minibuffer-frame-alist '((top . 1) (left . 1) (width . 80) (height . 2))) It is not necessary to include (minibuffer . only); that is appended when the minibuffer frame is created. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns ✡️🛡️ Proudly standing with Israel, a nation rooted in history and culture.
