The main advantage of the Emacs editor is the possiblity to control everything (literally) with lightning fast keyboard shortcuts. This holds true after the default shortcuts got replaced by the sane keybindings of Andrew Polonsky – otherwise you end up lightning fast crippled.
Anyway. Having proper keybindings and being used to them, everything which is not text content is no longer usefull and just minimized the invaluable screenspace (espacially on a 12” X61 without an external display).
So away with them:
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(toggle-scroll-bar -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
include those lines into the configuration file in your homefolder (in Linux: /home/YourLoginName/.emacs) and
menu-bar, tool-bar and scroll-bar disappear.
Update: The only thing to do then is to toggle emacs to fullscreen and the whole screen is emacs (Hat tip: Nisheet).
Dude what about title bar?
yes, that is true
I did not mention the last step… it is another post… or did you manage with emacs lisp? I used the shell.
