How to make emacs open all buffers in one window (debian / linux / gnome)
In osx, I make all new emacs buffers open in the same window / frame by putting them in .emacs.
(setq ns-pop-up-frames nil)
I want to be able to do the same in debian (gnome). Is it possible? A solution that will also work for xmonad (and similar wms) would be much appreciated.
pop-up-frames
is the standard emacs variable:
pop-up-frames is a variable defined in `window.el'.
Its value is nil
Documentation:
Whether `display-buffer' should make a separate frame.
If nil, never make a separate frame.
If the value is `graphic-only', make a separate frame
on graphic displays only.
Any other non-nil value means always make a separate frame.
You can customize this variable.
Use customize
or put this
(custom-set-variables '(pop-up-frames nil))
in .emacs
.
This, of course, only affects Emacs displaying buffers. If you start a new Emacs, the new process will create a new window. To achieve what you seem to want, you need to start Emacs as a daemon and open the files with emacsclient
.
