I was doing some key mapping in .emacs and instead of saving the file,
restarting Emacs, and testing the new assignment I was doing M-x eval
region on changed areas of .emacs Somehow all (or many) keychords
started acting strangely, e.g. C-x 1 would open subr.el in a new
buffer instead of showing current buffer alone in frame, even cursor
movement keys did something else. I killed .emacs buffer without
saving (losing changes) and then exited Emacs. On restarting
everything looks and works normally exept that *scratch* is empty
(three commented lines are missing) and it is in Fundamental mode
instead of Lisp Interaction. Can I get the old *scratch* buffer back?
How?
(defun make-scratch ()
(interactive)
(if (get-buffer "*scratch*")
(switch-to-buffer (get-buffer "*scratch*"))
(progn
(switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "*scratch*"))
(insert ";; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for
Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.
")
(emacs-lisp-mode))))
