minibuffer

I've been attempting to alter the font / face for the emacs minibuffer separately from emacs default fonts, but without much luck. Specifically, I'm interested in making the minibuffer font size larger for use with the emacs MULE as, with my current font setting or if I'm using emacs on a "netbook" screen, sometimes the character selection options in the MULE are a bit small. Options easily accessed within emacs are the minibuffer-prompt & minibuffer-prompt-properties, but these are only for command prompts and not the regular minibuffer text. There seem to be a number of minibuffer variables

I am using ido mode for file & buffer switching in Emacs 23. The following options allow the minibuffer to be resized if there is more than one line worth of files in the directory: (setq resize-mini-windows t) ; grow and shrink as necessary (setq max-mini-window-height 3) ; grow up to max of 3 lines However, this only works if line truncation is not enabled by default (globally): (setq-default truncate-lines t) ; Truncate, do not wrap lines I like this option for my main editing window, but this also overrides the above function to show more than one line in the minibuffer. The line in the

I want to display a colored string of text in the minibuffer, but when I use the 'message' function, the text-properties of are stripped. Works for me: (message "%s" (propertize "foo" 'face '(:foreground "red"))) You probably had (message (propertize ...)) , which interprets the propertized string as a format control string, hence stripped of its properties. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2742435/in-emacs-how-do-i-display-a-message-in-the-minibuffer-with-font-face-properties

Is it possible to kind of "attach" a list of buffers to particular tabs within Vim? I am currently using MiniBufferExplorer , which shows all buffers in nice tabs. It can be combined using standard vim tabs but the plugin's buffer list contains all the buffers and using tabs become a bit useless. Here's an example of what I'd like: Tab A contains a buffer list of: FileA FileB FileC Tab B contains a buffer list of: FileD FileE FileF Currently what I have is this: Tab A contains a buffer list of FileA FileB FileC FileD FileE FileF Tab B contains a buffer list of: FileA FileB FileC FileD FileE

When I tab-complete in a minibuffer and Emacs displays a completion list in a new buffer, how do I switch to that buffer without using the mouse? I tried C-x o , but that just switched to the first buffer, out of which I entered the minibuffer. I also tried C-x b , but that gives me command attempted to use minibuffer while in minibuffer . Lastly I tried C-x <C-right> , which gives me cannot switch buffers in minibuffer window . EDIT: I spoke about minibuffer completion in my example, but being able to access the completion list (using the keyboard) from within a regular buffer is also
