Ok, I stand corrected then, it's good to know there is such a feature, I'll
make use of it.
Let me ask you about another feature I am missing in emacs and which seems a
bit more involved to implement myself: maintaining current setup over
restarts. Say I quit emacs with several files open, each in its own window,
at certain location in a file. Then I quit the session, do some other editing
in a different directory tree, and then I come back to start emacs in the
original directory. It comes up and shows me all those files in all those
windows exactly the way they were when I quit the original editing session.
Kind of a 'lightweight project management' feature - is it available?
Guys, I really appreciate everybody's comments and replies. Sometimes when
there is a newcomer bitching about the list topic the tensions get quite high
- it's good to see that here we can have a dialog even though I am not quite
completely charmed by emacs :-)
cheers,
