Oh, I didn't realise that it hadn't been applied already, so I redid it for the current trunk and tested it, and it seems to work as expected, so I went ahead and pushed it. > Only such additional patch is necessary: [...] > + ;; When read_minibuf doesn't restore all previous windows, > + ;; then at least pop down the completions window. > + (unless read-minibuffer-restore-windows > + (minibuffer-hide-completions)) Hm... Well, I guess that's what most people would want... but... should it be user-controllable? Perhaps read_minibuffer_restore_windows shouldn't be a boolean, but allow values like t, 'completions and nil, where 'completions would trigger this behaviour? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
