Hi,

Hopefully a quicky.  How do you quickly switch between a definition in 
the speed bar and the code it points at, to edit it?  It takes you to 
the code fine with 'e' or RET, but the speedbar still has focus.  Is 
there a quick way to change from the keyboard?


Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

  e or RET should also switch the focus to the location that was
jumped to.  If you have this suggested speedbar binding active:

   (global-set-key [(f4)] 'speedbar-get-focus)

  and pressing f4 does not switch between frames, then the problem is
likely involved in your window manager.

focus-follows-mouse's value is t

*Non-nil if window system changes focus when you move the mouse.
You should set this variable to tell Emacs how your window manager
handles focus, since there is no way in general for Emacs to find out
automatically.

You can customize this variable.

Defined in `frame'.

:(

It only highlights it.  The speedbar still keeps focus.  F4 won't switch 
between frames.

I'm running Kubuntu Hoary with kde 3.4 and X.org.  I'm not sure what 
toolkit this system builds emacs21 with.  Tried removing everything from 
.emacs to see if it was a conflicting setting.

sigh.

Thanks.

Thanks, that worked!!!

Is it possible to embed the speedbar frame in the main frame as a
window?

Yes, I found a page on emacs-wiki that does that. I've tried it and it 
does work, but it seems quite fragile. When you change windows and 
buffers, you might lose the speedbar shape of the window. YMMV.

I guess there would be ways to ensure that the speedbar window is always 
where it is supposed to be but that is beyond my current abilities.

Here's the link.

Ps I revisited the sr-speedbar.el and it looks like some work has been 
done to fix my issue with the speedbar.

[Feverati]

Hi

someone does know why speedbar (M-x speedbar) enlighten commented 
functions (in C++), namely functions fully enclosed in /* */ ?
Is it a wanted feature? It looks strange
I use emacs 23.2.1 on linux fedora 14.

Thank you

Giovanni

Can I customize sr-speedbar such that when I open a file in the tree the
newly opened buffer becomes active.

Since I run a hook function that relies on buffer-file-name and the active
buffer remains in the sr-speedbar window, then buffer-file-name is nil. What
I want is the new buffer to be active so the hook will function correctly.

Unless there is a variable that sr-speedbar uses to store the path of the
selected file, then I guess I could use that.

Cheers.

I don't use sr-speedbar but yes, it should come with
that, otherwise it is bad. Make a search with
`apropos' and perhaps `apropos-value' (with the buffer
name as the value).

If it isn't there you could ask the speedbar people
where it is.

As a last effort you can fetch the data which
I suppose is found in the speedbar buffer -
`thing-at-point' - and reconstruct the complete data
that way.

But I'd consider that a secondary plan because those
operations are always error-prone. They are considered
hacks, probably for good reasons. The only case when
they are the exact right thing to do is when they
work flawlessly!
