29 ;; Save the Desktop, i.e.,
30 ;; - some global variables
31 ;; - the list of buffers with associated files. For each buffer also
33 ;; - the default directory
35 ;; - the mark & mark-active
37 ;; - some local variables
39 ;; To use this, first put these two lines in the bottom of your .emacs
40 ;; file (the later the better):
42 ;; (desktop-load-default)
45 ;; Between these two lines you may wish to add something that updates the
46 ;; variables `desktop-globals-to-save' and/or `desktop-locals-to-save'. If
47 ;; for instance you want to save the local variable `foobar' for every buffer
48 ;; in which it is local, you could add the line
50 ;; (setq desktop-locals-to-save (cons 'foobar desktop-locals-to-save))
52 ;; To avoid saving excessive amounts of data you may also wish to add
53 ;; something like the following
55 ;; (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook
57 ;; (desktop-truncate search-ring 3)
58 ;; (desktop-truncate regexp-search-ring 3)))
60 ;; which will make sure that no more than three search items are saved. You
61 ;; must place this line *after* the `(desktop-load-default)' line. See also
62 ;; the variable `desktop-save-hook'.
64 ;; Start Emacs in the root directory of your "project". The desktop saver
65 ;; is inactive by default. You activate it by M-x desktop-save RET. When
66 ;; you exit the next time the above data will be saved. This ensures that
67 ;; all the files you were editing will be reloaded the next time you start
68 ;; Emacs from the same directory and that points will be set where you
69 ;; left them. If you save a desktop file in your home directory it will
70 ;; act as a default desktop when you start Emacs from a directory that
71 ;; doesn't have its own. I never do this, but you may want to.
73 ;; Some words on minor modes: Most minor modes are controlled by
74 ;; buffer-local variables, which have a standard save / restore
75 ;; mechanism. To handle all minor modes, we take the following
76 ;; approach: (1) check whether the variable name from
77 ;; `minor-mode-alist' is also a function; and (2) use translation
78 ;; table `desktop-minor-mode-table' in the case where the two names
81 ;; By the way: don't use desktop.el to customize Emacs -- the file .emacs
82 ;; in your home directory is used for that. Saving global default values
83 ;; for buffers is an example of misuse.
85 ;; PLEASE NOTE: The kill ring can be saved as specified by the variable
86 ;; `desktop-globals-to-save' (by default it isn't). This may result in saving
87 ;; things you did not mean to keep. Use M-x desktop-clear RET.
