It might be called interactively by you. Hence, we can't change that without giving it either an additonal, optional argument or breaking other code. > and let > view-mode-exit' go without > > >> (if (window-live-p old-window) ; still existing window >> (select-window old-window)). The same goes here: `view-mode-exit' is used by other functions as well. Usually, selecting old-window won't harm. That's the window where you called C-h f from. > Following this line, the effective (delete-window) will be done in the help > window, with the original buffer in the other window, and then all is > restored. Your approach would work for help-mode (it should even work if we _did_ switch buffers in `quit-window' - the window gets deleted anyway). It might break other modes though that don't set `view-exit-action' and still expect old-window to get reselected. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
