RE: [h-e-w] how to run eshell in its own frame

[Sprenger, Karel]

Jerry,

Just wrote the following function (an adaptation of mail-other-frame in 
sendmail.el):

-----8<-----
;; Start eshell in new frame
(defun eshell-other-frame (&optional arg)
  "Like `eshell' command, but display eshell buffer in another frame."
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((pop-up-frames t)
 (special-display-buffer-names nil)
 (special-display-regexps nil)
 (same-window-buffer-names nil)
 (same-window-regexps nil)
        (eshell-buffer (if (boundp 'eshell-buffer-name) eshell-buffer-name 
"*eshell*")))
    (pop-to-buffer eshell-buffer))
  (eshell arg))
-----8<-----

If you add that to your site-lisp.el or .emacs file and bind f5 to it, you 
should be happy.

Cheers,
Karel

Subject: [h-e-w] how to run eshell in its own frame




I have become rather fond of eshell. At the moment I have it attached
to a function key, like:

   (global-set-key [f5]       'eshell)

but what I would really like is to open eshell in its own frame. What
would be the proper elisp incantation for this ?
