This avoids the kind of mode-ish interaction that feels > weird in Emacs. FWIW, such modus operandi always annoys me. Why should I be under pressure to do whatever is needed to prevent the setting from being reset? I don't really understand what's the problem with "mode-ish operation", feel free to elaborate. If there's demand for resetting the size, I guess we could have it as optional behavior. > In fact, I find this useful in other cases too (a command that allows > you to resize the current window with the arrow keys), so I think that > it's useful to either add an additional timeout argument -- or perhaps > an extension where `keep-pred' can be a number of seconds and will do > the timeout thing. The user can always scale the size back when she wants, right? Or am I missing something?
