Exhaustive log of interactions with Emacs
This package provides a buffer *Emacs Log* showing the last hit keys and executed commands, messages and file loads in chronological order. This enables you to reconstruct the last seconds of your work with Emacs. It's also useful for giving presentations or making screencasts with Emacs. Installation: Put this file in your load path and byte-compile it. To start logging automatically at startup, add this to your init file: (require 'interaction-log) (interaction-log-mode +1) You probably will want to have a hotkey for showing the log buffer, so also add something like (global-set-key (kbd "C-h C-l") (lambda () (interactive) (display-buffer ilog-buffer-name))) Alternatively, there is a command `ilog-show-in-new-frame' that you can use to display the log buffer in a little new frame whose parameters can be controlled by customizing `ilog-new-frame-parameters'. Usage: Use `interaction-log-mode' to toggle logging. Enabling the mode will cause all messages and all pressed keys (along with the actually executed command and the according buffer) to be logged in the background. Also loading of files will be logged. If an executed command causes any buffer to change, it will be highlighted in orange so you can check if you made changes by accident. If a command caused any message to be displayed in the echo area (e.g. if an error occurred), it is highlighted in red. If you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvement, please tell me!
