When I save my file, I can see output of some commands in the echo area. The thing is, that it's very fast and the next message will overwrite the previous one. So I just see the message Wrote FILE
. Is there a way, how can I look on the previous messages?

1The minibuffer and the echo area are in the same location. The former is for input; the latter is for output. Messages are typically written to the echo area.– DrewJan 5, 2017 at 15:59

M-x view-echo-area-messages RET
or C-h e
will open the *Messages*
buffer.
(This buffer can even contain some stuff that's not shown in the minibuffer, see inhibit-message
.)

C-h e
works for me, emacs says it's an alias forview-echo-area-messages
.M-x messages RET
doesn't work for me. Jan 5, 2017 at 11:57 -
