(elisp)Minibuffers and Frames


Minibuffers and Frames
======================

   Normally, each frame has its own minibuffer window at the bottom,
which is used whenever that frame is selected.  If the frame has a
minibuffer, you can get it with `minibuffer-window' (Note: Minibuffer
Misc).

   However, you can also create a frame with no minibuffer.  Such a
frame must use the minibuffer window of some other frame.  When you
create the frame, you can specify explicitly the minibuffer window to
use (in some other frame).  If you don't, then the minibuffer is found
in the frame which is the value of the variable
`default-minibuffer-frame'.  Its value should be a frame that does have
a minibuffer.

   If you use a minibuffer-only frame, you might want that frame to
raise when you enter the minibuffer.  If so, set the variable
`minibuffer-auto-raise' to `t'.  Note: Raising and Lowering.

 - Variable: default-minibuffer-frame
     This variable specifies the frame to use for the minibuffer
     window, by default.  It is always local to the current terminal
     and cannot be buffer-local.  Note: Multiple Displays.
