Hi, After the recent conversation about Scrivener (on help-gnu-emacs) I thought the very first step would be to write a simple function that would create a window layout and populate the windows with a set of buffers, then set mjor and minor modes for some of hte buffers. (After that I guess I will have to figure out how to write some very simple minor modes, or at least some functions that allow e.g. direct editing of org-mode properties on a selected node.)
So, what I have so far is quite trivial but doesn't seem to work exactly as I expected: (delete-other-windows) (split-window-horizontally) (windmove-right) (split-window-horizontally) (enlarge-window-horizontally 20) (windmove-right) (split-window-vertically) Anyway presumably I'll fiddle with this and eventually it will work, but something better would be (set-window-name "outline") (split-named-window-horizontally-and-name-the-other-window "outline" "main") (split-named-window-horizontally-and-name-the-other-window "main" "metadata") (set-width-named-window "main" 60) and then write a function, bound to say Ctrl-Enter, open-node-as-indirect-buffer-in-named-window Anyway: is it possible to give/get a name for a window that persists long enough to be called in functions? Thanks, Matt
