26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; Save the Desktop, i.e.,
29 ;; - some global variables
30 ;; - the list of buffers with associated files. For each buffer also
31 ;; - the major mode
32 ;; - the default directory
33 ;; - the point
34 ;; - the mark & mark-active
35 ;; - buffer-read-only
36 ;; - some local variables
38 ;; To use this, first put these three lines in the bottom of your .emacs
39 ;; file (the later the better):
41 ;; (load "desktop")
42 ;; (desktop-load-default)
43 ;; (desktop-read)
45 ;; Between the second and the third line you may wish to add something that
46 ;; updates the variables `desktop-globals-to-save' and/or
47 ;; `desktop-locals-to-save'. If for instance you want to save the local
48 ;; variable `foobar' for every buffer in which it is local, you could add
49 ;; the line
51 ;; (setq desktop-locals-to-save (cons 'foobar desktop-locals-to-save))
53 ;; To avoid saving excessive amounts of data you may also wish to add
54 ;; something like the following
56 ;; (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook
57 ;; '(lambda ()
58 ;; (desktop-truncate search-ring 3)
59 ;; (desktop-truncate regexp-search-ring 3)))
61 ;; which will make sure that no more than three search items are saved. You
62 ;; must place this line *after* the (load "desktop") line. See also the
63 ;; variable desktop-save-hook.
65 ;; Start Emacs in the root directory of your "project". The desktop saver
66 ;; is inactive by default. You activate it by M-x desktop-save RET. When
67 ;; you exit the next time the above data will be saved. This ensures that
68 ;; all the files you were editing will be reloaded the next time you start
69 ;; Emacs from the same directory and that points will be set where you
70 ;; left them. If you save a desktop file in your home directory it will
71 ;; act as a default desktop when you start Emacs from a directory that
72 ;; doesn't have its own. I never do this, but you may want to.
74 ;; By the way: don't use desktop.el to customize Emacs -- the file .emacs
75 ;; in your home directory is used for that. Saving global default values
76 ;; for buffers is an example of misuse.
78 ;; PLEASE NOTE: The kill ring can be saved as specified by the variable
79 ;; `desktop-globals-to-save' (by default it isn't). This may result in saving
80 ;; things you did not mean to keep. Use M-x desktop-clear RET.
82 ;; Thanks to hetrick@phys.uva.nl (Jim Hetrick) for useful ideas.
