;;; Commentary:
|
|
|
|
;; Show stuff in a bottom window. The idea is taken from ide-skel,
|
|
;; which is a very nice extension, but doesn't fit into my workflow at
|
|
;; all, the only really nice thing is that all *buffers* appear in a
|
|
;; specialized window.
|
|
|
|
;;; Usage:
|
|
|
|
;; Make sure it's loadable, you should be able to do this by using:
|
|
|
|
;; M-x package-install-file RET /path/to/bw.el RET
|
|
|
|
;; or if you don't use package.el you could use:
|
|
|
|
;; (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/bw/directory")
|
|
;; (require 'bw)
|
|
|
|
;; Once that is done you can set it up for use:
|
|
|
|
;; (add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
|
|
;; '("^\\*.*\\*$"
|
|
;; . ((bw-display-in-bottom-window . nil)))
|
|
|
|
;; And perhaps even bind a key to it:
|
|
|
|
;; (global-set-key (kbd "<f11>") 'bw-toggle-bottom-window)
|
|
|
|
;;; Code:
|
|
|
|
