Thanks. I wouldn't have gotten very far without knowing the basic
emacs keystroke conventions, and definitely not this far. :) I just
didn't know that `pp-eval-expression' was bound to a particular
keystroke.
FYI - You can use `C-h f' to describe any function. The *Help* buffer
showing the description usually tells you what file it is defined
in and
provides a link to its definition.
Another keystroke I didn't know. This is what I get in the *Help*
buffer:
set-mode-style-after-make-frame is a Lisp function in `aquamacs-
styles.el'.
(set-mode-style-after-make-frame frame)
Not documented.
So obviously Aquamacs-specific code.
If `after-make-frame-functions' has value (fit-frame), then `fit-
frame'
should be called. You can do this to see if it is called:
M-x debug-on-entry RET fit-frame RET
I activated up the debugger, then opened a new file and the debugger
didn't start, probably meaning that `fit-frame' never got called. I
double-checked and `after-make-frame-functions' indeed had the value
(fit-frame). I suppose this means that the problem is Aquamacs
ignoring this call...?
Again, however, I doubt that it is getting called at all, since
calling it
manually does resize the frame correctly.
You seem to be right there.
If `fit-frame' is called, you can also try stepping through it in the
debugger (`d') to see what it is doing. Why it might do something
wrong when
called in a hook and when called manually is unclear. I doubt that
that is
what's happening - I suspect that it is not called from the hook.
Is there any way I can debug the hook itself, and maybe see why it
doesn't call `fit-frame'?
The things you need to determine for sure are these:
1. Whether `fit-frame' gets called as an after-make-frame function.
It doesn't seem to get called.
2. Exactly what changes if you have short or long lines.
That must've been my fault -- I expressed myself poorly (sorry, I'm
not a native English speaker). When I call `fit-frame' manually, the
frame is correctly resized to smaller if the lines are shorter than
the current edge (within minimum limits), and bigger if the lines are
soft-wrapped (also within maximum limits). I don't think that the
problem is anywhere inside `fit-frame'.
If `fit-frame' is not called by the hook, then I cannot help you.
If it is
called but it doesn't DTRT, then I can try to help.
That makes perfect sense and thank you again for your help so far.
However, let me ask again, perhaps I might debug the hook itself and
see what it's calling and what it's not? Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Alex
