Starter Kit Desktop

Starter Kit Desktop

Desktop will load, at startup, the buffers you were editing when you last quit Emacs.

  • Set the file to save desktop variables and load desktop.
  • Save no buffer and file.
  • Set variables (list) along with max length to save.
  • Delete duplicates before save.

Some variables such as comint-input-ring is buffer local so that can’t be saved globally.

(setq desktop-path (list
                    starter-kit-dir)
      desktop-dirname starter-kit-dir
      desktop-base-file-name ".emacs-desktop")

Starter Kit History

savehist is much lighter than desktop. You should take care of this plugin for that when file of .savehist grows too big, the memory consumed by Emacs will also grows extraordinary.

(setq savehist-save-minibuffer-history nil)
(setq savehist-additional-variables
      '(extended-command-history))
(setq savehist-file (expand-file-name ".savehist" starter-kit-dir))
(savehist-mode 1)
