Subject: bug#48328: switch-buffer-other-window keep-focus [POC INCLUDED]
Date: Mon, 10 May 2021 01:37:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210510053717.etp7pnybw6wjh2nj@E15-2016.optimum.net> (raw)
I was going through my init file, and realized that something I thought
was part of emacs-core was actually my simple wrapper function. IMO,
it's sensible and I find it very convenient when dealing with buried
buffers being used for reference (eg. occur, grep, help).
All it does is add a prefix-arg control to function
`switch-to-buffer-other-window' (C-x 4 b).
For your consideration:
(defcustom my-switch-to-buffer-other-window-keep-focus nil
"Controls focus of buffer-switch to other window.
When non-NIL, function `my-switch-to-buffer-other-window' keeps
focus in the current window. This can be over-ridden at run-time
by passing that function a PREFIX-ARG."
:type 'boolean)
(defun my-switch-to-buffer-other-window (buffer-or-name &optional norecord)
"Wrapper to allow keeping focus in current window.
Performs action of function `switch-to-buffer-other-window', but
refers to variable `my-switch-to-buffer-other-window-keep-focus'
to determine whether to change focus to the other window. You can
over-ride that setting by calling this function with a
PREFIX-ARG."
(interactive
(list (read-buffer-to-switch "Switch to buffer in other window: ")))
(let ((pop-up-windows t)
(win (selected-window)))
(pop-to-buffer buffer-or-name t norecord)
(when (if current-prefix-arg
(not my-switch-to-buffer-other-window-keep-focus)
my-switch-to-buffer-other-window-keep-focus)
(select-window win 'norecord)))) ; ie. norecord=t
(define-key ctl-x-4-map (kbd "b") 'my-switch-to-buffer-other-window)
