Above: My empty i3 window manager, after I quit Emacs tl dr (take 2) This is the magic key combination to exit Emacs: C-x C-c Which reads as Control-x Control-c help I.e., press the Control key with your left pinky, hold it pressed, then press x, release x (while still holding the Control key), press c.

If it is the only window (more common, in my setup), it clones the frame and window. tl dr Spending the rest of your life in Emacs is a feature, not a bug. I modified command ‘mouse-tear-off-window’ ( ) to only delete the window if it is not the only one in the frame. If you want to resume your emacs session, enter fg in your terminal. See Libraries: Lisp : misc-cmds.el, Lisp : setup-keys.el Don't Delete Frames Too Easily You can suspend Emacs using the following keybinding : C-z It gets you back to your shell. For example: (substitute-key-definition 'kill-buffer Next, I used ‘substitute-key-definition’ to replace any key bindings for ‘delete-window’ and ‘kill-buffer’ with the frame-oriented replacements. This Buffer’ to use ‘kill-buffer-and-its-windows’.

Redefining ‘kill-buffer’ would be problematic, however. (Command ‘kill-buffer-and-window’ doesn’t do this, but it suffers from the same problem as ‘delete-window’.) With windows, this may make sense, but with frames this is more annoying than useful. ‘kill-buffer’ displays a different buffer in the window, in place of one you’ve killed. If you don’t use my ‘delete-window’ or the frame has more than one window, then the behavior is the same as for vanilla Emacs.

If you use my redefined ‘delete-window’, then the redefined ‘quit-window’ will also delete the frame, if ‘one-window-p’. The solution was to redefine ‘quit-window’ as it should have been defined all along. With the use of dedicated special-display buffers (see Special Frames), the problem remains only for certain buffers such as Dired. In vanilla Emacs, unless a window is dedicated, ‘quit-window’ in a one-window frame just replaces the current buffer by some irrelevant buffer – totally useless, to me. ‘quit-window’ is bound to ‘q’ in lots of modes, such as DiredMode, the ‘*Help*’ buffer, the ‘*grep*’ buffer, and others. So, I redefined ‘delete-window’ to call ‘delete-frame’ if the window is the only one in its frame. ‘delete-window’ does nothing but complain if you try to delete the sole window in a frame – it’s useless in a one-on-one situation. C-x C-z Leave emacs temporarily (return with 'fg' ('foreground')) C-x C-c Quit emacs C-g Abort command (get out of trouble) C-f Move cursor forward one character C-b Move cursor backwards one character C-n Move cursor to next line C-p Move cursor to. Emacs asks for file name at bottom of screen. But they don’t do much that’s useful with Frames. C-x C-s Save file C-x C-f Find (open) file. ctrl-h i : Help in Emacs- describes emacs shortcuts and commands. ctrl-g : Cencel current command and revert back from command mode. Meaning that you have to use a key to switch them between command mode and edit mode.Emacs commands ‘kill-buffer’ ( ‘C-x k’), ‘delete-window’ ( ‘C-x 0’), and ‘quit-window’ (typically ‘q’ in some modes) are handy to get rid of a buffer or window. ctrl-z : Stop Emacs and quit immediately without confirmation(All changes in buffer are lost). Vi and its derivatives are what are called modal editors. If you've come this far, you may have already botched upĪn important file and would rather not save your work until you have a chance to become more familiar with the editor on a less important file. This page assumes that you would like to quit the editor WITHOUT saving the file.
