Re: command-log-mode

[steve-humphreys]

Has anyone got an idea how to put the command-log window at the bottom
rather than at the side?

Have added a vertical window split by making

clm-open-clogbfr-vertically

I then call it from clm/toggle-command-log-buffer

Yet, the window is still being displayed horizontally.

(defun clm-open-clogbfr-vertically (&optional arg)
"Opens (and creates, if non-existant) a buffer used for logging keyboard commands.
If ARG is non-nil, the existing command log buffer is cleared."
(interactive "P")
(with-current-buffer
(setq clm-command-log-buffer
(get-buffer-create " *command-log*"))
(text-scale-set 1))
(when arg
(with-current-buffer clm-command-log-buffer
(erase-buffer)))
(let ((new-win (split-window-vertically
(- 0 command-log-mode-window-size))))
(set-window-buffer new-win clm-command-log-buffer)
(set-window-dedicated-p new-win t)))


;;;###autoload
(defun clm/toggle-command-log-buffer (&optional arg)
"Toggle the command log showing or not."
(interactive "P")
(when (and command-log-mode-open-log-turns-on-mode
(not command-log-mode))
(if command-log-mode-is-global
(global-command-log-mode)
(command-log-mode)))
(with-current-buffer
(setq clm-command-log-buffer
(get-buffer-create " *command-log*"))
(let ((win (get-buffer-window (current-buffer))))
(if (windowp win)
(clm-close-command-log-buffer)
;; Else open the window
(clm-open-clogbfr-vertically arg)))))

Did you try to customize the values of split-height-threshold and
split-height-threshold?

command-log-mode

[steve-humphreys]

I am trying to use command-log-mode, but I am unsure how to use it.
Have found no instructions on how to install it and call it.

The source code is here

Elisp files often have a Commentary section at the top, just below the license.
Sometimes they are uninformative, sometimes they contain all the information you
need to use a package. Here, the latter seems to be the case.

Also, you can get a list of installed packages with C-h p.  Then you can
navigate to the package you're interested in a press enter.  It will
show that commentary from the top of the file.

The Commentary section says

        ;; To enable, use e.g.:
        ;;
        ;; (require 'command-log-mode)
        ;; (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'command-log-mode)
        ;;
        ;; To see the log buffer, call M-x clm/open-command-log-buffer.

So basically, all you have to do is M-x command-log-mode, to enable it
wherever you need it, and then manually open the log buffer.
