Summary

Customize a frame and fast switch size and positions

Commentary

Emacs frames position and dimensions are "learned" from user provided frame
configurations, then restores them later.  This is for users that prefer to
resize Emacs frames with a key binding rather than the mouse.

To use this library:

1. Position the frame how you like it.
2. Record the frame with `M-x cframe-add-or-advance-setting`.
3. Restore previous settings on start up with `cframe-restore`.
4. Cycle through configurations with `cframe-add-or-advance-setting`.

You can get a list of the configuration and which is currently used with
`cframe-list`.

Recommended `~/.emacs` configuration to restore the frame on start up:

(require 'cframe)
;; frame size settings based on screen dimentions
(global-set-key "\C-x9" 'cframe-restore)
;; doesn't clobber anything in shell, Emacs Lisp buffers (maybe others?)
(global-set-key "\C-\\" 'cframe-add-or-advance-setting)
;; toggle full or maximized screen
(global-set-key "\C-x\C-\\" 'cframe-toggle-frame-full-or-maximized)
