Everything that applies to C-s applies to C-r except that the direction of the search is reversed. +MULTIPLE WINDOWS +---------------- + +One of the nice features of Emacs is that you can display more than one +window on the screen at the same time. + +>> Move the cursor to this line and type C-u 0 C-l. + +>> Now type C-x 2 which splits the screen into two windows. + Both windows display this tutorial. The cursor stays in the top window. + +>> Type C-M-v to scroll the bottom window. + +>> Type C-x o ("o" for "other") to move the cursor to the bottom window. +>> Use C-v and M-v in the bottom window to scroll it. + Keep reading these directions in the top window. + +>> Type C-x o again to move the cursor back to the top window. + The cursor is still just where it was in the top window before. + +You can keep using C-x o to switch between the windows. Each +window has its own cursor position, but only one window actually +shows the cursor. All the ordinary editing commands apply to the +window that the cursor is in. + +The command C-M-v is very useful when you are editing text in one +window and using the other window just for reference. You can keep +the cursor always in the window where you are editing, and edit +there as you advance through the other window. + +>> Type C-x 1 (in the top window) to get rid of the bottom window. + +(If you had typed C-x 1 in the bottom window, that would get rid +of the top one. Think of this command as "Keep just one +window--the window I am already in.") + +You don't have to display the same buffer in both windows. If +you use C-x C-f to find a file in one window, the other window +doesn't change. You can pick a file in each window +independently. + +Here is another way to use two windows to display two different +things: + +>> Type C-x 4 C-f followed by the name of one of your files. + End with <RETURN>. See the specified file appear in the bottom + window. The cursor goes there, too. + +>> Type C-x o to go back to the top window, and C-x 1 to delete + the bottom window. + + RECURSIVE EDITING LEVELS ------------------------ |
