I want to hide the welcome screen.

My .emacs file:

 (setq c-basic-offset 4) ; indents 4 chars  (setq tab-width 4)          ; and 4 char wide for TAB  (setq indent-tabs-mode nil) ; And force use of spaces    (turn-on-font-lock)       ; same as syntax on in Vim    (setq width (max width (+ (length str) 1)))   ;line numbers    (setq inhibit-splash-screen t)         ; hide welcome screen

I have tried to run the last line of code in my .emacs unsuccessfully.

How can you hide the welcome screen in Emacs?

  1. Add the following to your $HOME/.emacs:

    (setq inhibit-startup-screen t)

    The next time you start Emacs, the welcome screen shouldn’t appear. If you already have Emacs open with the welcome screen, you can kill it with C-x k (Control-x, then k).
