Re: Insert text in command-log-mode buffer before logging

[steve-humphreys]

How is it that I cannot call (insert "test" clm-command-log-buffer)
to print something to tho command log buffer?

Seems quite more complicated to do than I initially thought.

(defun clm-open-command-log-buffer (&optional arg)
  "Opens (and creates, if non-existant) a buffer used for logging keyboard 
commands.
If ARG is non-nil, the existing command log buffer is cleared."
  (interactive "P")
  (with-current-buffer
      (setq clm-command-log-buffer
            (get-buffer-create " *command-log*"))
    (text-scale-set 1))
  (when arg
    (with-current-buffer clm-command-log-buffer
      (erase-buffer)))
  (let ((new-win (split-window-horizontally
                  (- 0 command-log-mode-window-size))))
    (set-window-buffer new-win clm-command-log-buffer)
    (set-window-dedicated-p new-win t)))
