From a frame displaying multiple windows, I'd like to be able to 'break' one of the windows off into another frame, perhaps with a modifier-click on the modeline, where the window would now have its own frame but hold the same buffer and position.
I was wondering if this behavior was available somewhere in the standard library, if there was an extension for it, or perhaps if a small elisp function would work.
on windows there are several key maps applications that replaces Caps lock with ESC on a single 'press and relase' and with a Control signal if hold and another key is pressed.
Is there any way to do something similar on linux? Ideally on the whole system, but if it is only for X window it is fine too.
i'm currently writting scripts with the xautomation package tools. but i guess there is already a better way to do that via configurations.
When reading an email, the ESC key can be used to close the window. This doesn't work when you're composing an email. Is there any way to do this? This happened in T-Bird 2.x, as well, but I'm looking for a 3.0 solution. Thanks!
After the latest update (beginning of Dec. 2012) on Snow Leopard my login window language has changed. My system is set to be in english but the login windows now is in french.
Currently I am in France so I suspect that during the update something has revealed my location and installed something in the locale of the current location.
It doesn't seem fair to me, I want to switch it back to english but I couldn't find a way to do it.
I am often working in a process in the terminal and I've set some variables and used cd and so forth. Then I'd like to open another terminal window from there. Is there any way to do this?

And when I have a external monitor connected, I need another configuration.

In XP, to ensure a folder opened in a new window, I held down CTRL when I opened (by mouse or keyboard) the folder.
This action is so ingrained to me, I pretty much don't even realise I'm doing it at a conscious level.
Unfortunately, this action apparently hasn't made it to Vista. Is there a new way to do this, or am I just missing something obvious?
I have created an automator application that searches a shared folder on another mac within the network.
I want to show all the results in one window.
I have tried using Reveal Find Items, but it opens up the directory of which each file is in, not exactly ideal.

whenever I load ECB or tabbar. Seems to be introduces after updating from Kubuntu intrepid to jaunty. Any hint how to solve this?
On my old computer when you drag a window around, it seems to be cut up (like what you'd see in remote desktop on a slow connection) and its becoming really annoying.
A few weeks when I was transferring data from it to my new laptop and it was working fine then however when I started it a few minutes ago this issue occurred.
I tried restarting several time with no luck.

On Windows I use an AutoHotKey script to tile the active window to the left half of the screen, the right half, or a few other options.
Does Ubuntu/Gnome have a program that would allow me to do that?
If not, do you have an idea how to create this programmatically, or at least can point me to a resource?
Hi! I was wandering if it's possible to run an Ubuntu virtual machine using VirtualBox in background, I mean, without any window open.
The idea is to conect via SSH to the linux host, that would be running in background.
Have you ever done somenthing like this? Is it possible?
Thanks!
I need to write a batch program to end all MS office communicator tasks with window titles (usually ending with pattern "- Conversation" .
I tried
taskkill /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq *Conversation" /IM communicator.exe
but the wildcard pattern starting with a '*' does not seem to work. Gives the folowing error
ERROR: The search filter cannot be recognized.
any suggestions for a workaround would be greatly appreciated!

Let's say you open two files through a vertical split..
vim -O 1 2
Now how would I split this window horizontally across both of the vertical windows? So this is what a :vsplit looks like:

I want the end result to look like

In the Excel VBE, the Find Dialog box (CTRL-F) pops up half off screen at the bottom of screen. How do I control the Find window so it positions itself higher up on the screen ?
In Windows 7, in most applications, when an application is maximized...I can "tear" the window (grab the title bar and drag) from it's maximized size and off the top of the screen and then I can drag it to wherever...but when Excel is maximized I do not have that functionality...Is there some trick to adding this functionality for Excel 2007...I can do it with Word 2007 so it doesn't appear to be Office itself. The machine is a Dell Latitude D820 with the Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M video card...running the latest video drivers...
