* different buffers on same file? @ 2004-06-11 14:42 kj 2004-06-11 15:06 ` Johan Bockgård 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: kj @ 2004-06-11 14:42 UTC (permalink / raw) Is there any way to have more than one buffer visiting the same file? I tried renaming a buffer and "find-file"-ing the same file again, but Emacs did not create a new buffer; it just re-used the original buffer despite the name change. My immediate need for this is that I'm trying to read a huge (0.5 MB) source code file, 95% of which consists of the first leg of a single if statement (horrible programming, I know), and it would be very useful if I could simultaneously have several buffers/windows/frames that were narrowed (C-x n n) to various sections of this file. Since narrowing is a per-buffer property, I need to have several buffers opened on the same file if I want to do this.

I use it with "outline-mode" to be able to collaps all threads in one window and still be able to have som threads visible in an other. /Daniel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
