Adjusting and Moving Windows

To adjust or move a window in the Unix implementation of , get into mouse mode, move the mouse cursor to the window to be affected, and press MOUSE . A window  command menu will pop up. Move the mouse cursor so that it inside this new window and on the same line as the desired command. Press MOUSE again. Some commands require a third MOUSE press; see the list of commands below for details. If the second MOUSE press is made when the mouse cursor isn't inside the menu, will move the menu to wherever the mouse cursor is and will wait for a new second MOUSE press, to specify a window command.

On a Lisp Machine one may use the actual mouse; follow the instructions above for Unix , but use middle--click instead of the MOUSE key.

The commands and their meanings are as follows:

PULL

  Brings the window into the foreground. Any windows which are on top of the window are pushed behind it.

PUSH

  Moves the window into the background. This may cause it to be overlapped by or hidden by other windows. All obscured parts of the window are remembered, though invisible.

...

  Elides the window by shrinking it down so that only the header line is displayed. It also moves the window to the elided window area at the top right of the screen. If ... is invoked on an elided window it returns to the same size and position it had before it was elided. The contents of the window are not destroyed by this process; they simply are not shown in the interim.

MOVE

   Upon a third press of MOUSE the location of the mouse cursor will be the new location of the upper left corner of the current window.

SIZE

   Also waits for a third MOUSE press. The location of the mouse cursor will be the new location of the lower right corner of the current window. The location of the upper left corner will not change.

KILL

   Destroys the window. This command is obsolete and should not be used.
