What does not work?
I added another `select-window', so that I can specify what window has
the focus afterwards. By default, the focus follows the active buffer.

Sure. It's a Midnight/Norton Commander-style file manager (OFM) built
atop of dired.
Dired is also a "file manager", it just belongs to a different
family.
Not instead -- it is dired. More properly said, it's a major mode
derived from dired, with a few added functions to make it work like a

In article <880ad156-15ed-4e56-a1bf-8f7c0 bb06...@k19g2000yqc.googlegrou ps.com>,
Before I go google it or go to its web-site or the emacs-wiki,
could you say just a few words about sunrise commander, maybe?
If it relates to a "file manager" on windows, or even on
Solaris -- I never use it, since dired is so very, very cool.

Hi Tassilo Horn,
The following works for sure. Unfortunately, not from me... ;-(
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------ ------->8---
;; swap 2 windows
(defun my-swap-windows ()
"If you have 2 windows, it swaps them."
(interactive)
(cond ((not (= (count-windows) 2))
(message "You need exactly 2 windows to do this."))

Are you sure that you want exactly that? This would mean, that if you
have two buffers corresponding to files
foo.c | bar.c
the contents of foo.c are in bar.c and vice versa afterwards.
I think you want to swap the buffer-window associations. This is
untested, but may do the trick.

swap contents of two buffers

trh...@gmail.com (toddeman) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:27:05 UT

i have a constant layout (when coding) of two upper buffers (for code)
and three lower buffers (for grep, completion, and compilation
respectively). all i want is a method to swap the contents of the top
two buffers that i can then bind to a key. what is the easiest way to

Incorrect Display of Diary Entries

[ Ubuntu 9.10; Emacs 23.1.1 ]
Something *very* strange started happening with my calendar/diary.
Up until this morning, running the 'calendar' command would display the
diary entries for the next few days.
Now, all of a sudden, running 'calendar' (or 'diary') causes the
contents of the entire ".diary" file to be displayed instead of the

Hi.
I'm pleased to announce release 2.0.0 of gpicker. gpicker is a program
and it's Emacs integration that allows you to quickly and conveniently
pick file in a (possibly very large) project. Get it from
[link]. Note that savannah seem
to be insisting on use of mirror, so you may need to wait for mirrors

yes, you need to customize the font for various things.
i don't recommend it because emacs's font style for programing
languages are used across all languages. For example, function is
blue, strings is a bit orange, coments are red, etc., in any
language. Also, emacs face coloring are designed so it's also usable
