The authors of Learning Python show you enough essentials of the Python scripting language to enable you to begin solving problems right away, then reveal more powerful aspects of the language one at a time. This approach is sure to appeal to programmers and system administrators who have urgent problems and a preference for learning by semi-guided experimentation.

file buffer name emacs titlebar frame-title-format


Versions (?)


Titlebar customization, file name displaying

Published in: Emacs Lisp

By default, Emacs displays on the titlebar (I mean GUI Emacs) emacs@domain. There is a way to modify this, using (setq frame-title-format "my title").

How to display emacs@domain: ~/dir/file (or buffer name in case of e.i. *scratch*)? Add it to your .emacs:


Plain TextExpand 
  1. (add-hook 'window-configuration-change-hook
  2. 	  (lambda ()
  3. 	    (setq frame-title-format
  4. 		  (concat
  5. 		   invocation-name "@" system-name ": "
  6. 		   (replace-regexp-in-string
  7. 		    (concat "/home/" user-login-name) "~"
  8. 		    (or buffer-file-name "%b"))))))
