Re: [External] : Q3 - how to delete by words, not cut? --- about Q4 - the bottom edge of Emacs doesn't stick to the taskba

[Tatsu Takamaro]

   I did answer that.  IMO, it's not super-straightforward.  As I said (Eli 
didn't agree), Emacs doesn't know about a Windows task bar.  (The task bar can 
be in different places and have different sizes.  AFAIK, you need to access the 
registry to find out its details.)

   Unless someone gives you a simpler approach, maybe take a look at 
`frame-cmds.el' and `oneonone.el' for info about how I, at least, 
position/resize frames so their bottoms are on the task bar.

 I didn't get the mail with Q4 at all, nor in the Trash bin, don't know 
why ...

And what about Linux? Next year I plan to migrate to Debian, with 
Wayland. Will I have the same matter there?
For now I just calculate the height in characters by the hit-and-miss 
method. But I'll have to do it on every new machine or monitor, so it's 
better to have a way out.
Maybe, setting in percents. The height of a taskbar is 60 px for my 4k 
(ultraHD) monitor, so it's 60 out of 2160 px, or 2,(7)% (~2,8%) of a 
screen height. Thus, an Emacs'es height may be 99,97% of the screen's. 
But I'm afraid the size may differ. So what about Debian?
