Can I force the tex-shell window to be a different size than half the current window? When I'm editing a *.tex file, I hit C-c C-f to typeset it. The first result of this is that the window splits vertically into two equal windows, of which the top is the *.tex file and the bottom is the tex-shell buffer. Then various typesetting stuff happens (which I don't care about at the moment). What I'd like is for the new tex-shell window to be only about 5 lines tall, rather than taking up half of the current window. I found <a href="http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/elisp-manual-21/elisp_428.html">the emacs manual section about splitting windows</a>, which indicates that 'split-window' accepts optional arguments for the size of the new window, but I can't figure out how to change the way 'C-c C-f' calls the split-window command. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.55743 Thu, 25 Jan 2007 11:31:16 -0800 emacs latex latex-mode lisp software tex-shell gleuschk
