Subject: Emacs into focus
Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:36:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <g7e1l0$gi5$1@registered.motzarella.org> (raw)
Can someone recommend the best way to have emacs come to the foreground
on a Linux desktop? I'm trying to get emacsclient wired up properly so I
can handle mailto URLS from iceweasel (firefox) properly. I have tried:
,----
| /usr/bin/emacsclient -e "(progn (raise-frame)(message-mail (substring \"$1\" 7) \"Subject\" '((\"from\" \"Richard Riley<rileyrgdev@gmail.com>\"))))"
`----
But raise-frame does not seem to work on my Gnome desktop.
Replacing raise-frame with (bring-on-top)
where
,----
| (defun bring-on-top()
| (interactive)
| (x-send-client-message
| nil 0 nil "_NET_WM_STATE" 32 '(2 "_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN" 1))
| )
`----
Does work but removes the WM border from the emacs frame.
Does anyone have a cleaner solution?
regards
r.
