The following commands let you create, delete and operate on frames:
iconify-or-deiconify-frame
).
The normal meaning of C-z, to suspend Emacs, is not useful under a
window system, so it has a different binding in that case.
If you type this command on an Emacs frame's icon, it deiconifies the frame.
delete-frame
). This is not allowed if
there is only one frame.
To make the command C-x 5 o work properly, you must tell Emacs
how the system (or the window manager) generally handles
focus-switching between windows. There are two possibilities: either
simply moving the mouse onto a window selects it (gives it focus), or
you have to click on it in a suitable way to do so. Unfortunately
there is no way Emacs can find out automatically which way the system
handles this, so you have to explicitly say, by setting the variable
focus-follows-mouse
. If just moving the mouse onto a window
selects it, that variable should be t
; if a click is necessary,
the variable should be nil
.
