Re: minimize emacs

Maybe it's just me, but Windows-M minimizes everything. Is this happening to everyone?

It's supposed to! Windows-M means minimize all. Shift-Windows-M means unminimize all. BTW Windows-D (for show desktop) is better becase the second Windows-D reverses the action.


(I am talking about Cygwin/XFree86 with -multiwindow, BTW). For Ctrl-Z
to work, would that mean a fix for Emacs or for X?

I wouldn't call it a fix, rather a default configuration. I think you can put the following in your .emacs file:


(global-set-key "\C-z" 'suspend-emacs-or-iconify-fram)

Just tried the following:

1) Ctrl-Z: Doesn't work

2) Ctrl-X + Ctrl-Z: Doesn't work

3) Windows-M: Works


Looks like we found a winner.


Note: This is for running emacs under Cygwin/XFree86 with the
-multiwindow command-line parameter. I gather that is what we are all
talking about here.

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to minimize GNU Emacs running
under Cygwin/XFree86 with the keyboard? I don't really need Emacs'
M-Spc command, so should I just undefine it? Will that cause the
keystroke to be passed to Windows?

If your machine has a Windows key, you could use Windows-M to minimize any
window (I don't know if XFree86 intercepts that keystroke). Just a
thought.
