Subject: bug#70949: display-buffer-choose-some-window
Date: Sat, 8 Jun 2024 11:12:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <93cbc9fa-47d8-47bb-9d47-54f4379937b9@gmx.at> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <86v82k4s7m.fsf@mail.linkov.net>

Consider these minor changes for the Elisp manual

The above describes the behavior when the @code{some-window} @var{alist}
entry is @code{lru} or @code{nil} which is the default.  Another
possible value is @code{mru}.  If, for example,
@code{display-buffer-base-action} is customized to @w{@code{(nil
. ((some-window . mru)))}}, then this function will prefer the most
recently used window.  This will try to display several buffers from
consecutive calls of @code{display-buffer} in the same window.  Consider
a configuration of three or more windows where a user wants to consult,
in a non-selected window, one after the other, the results of a query
spread among several buffers.  With the @code{lru} strategy, Emacs may
continuously choose another window because the least recently used
window changes with every call of @code{display-buffer-use-some-window}.
With the @code{mru} strategy, the window chosen would always remain the
same, resulting in a predictable user experience.

and this for the NEWS entry:

*** New action alist entry 'some-window' for 'display-buffer'.
It specifies which window 'display-buffer-use-some-window' should prefer.
For example, when 'display-buffer-base-action' is customized to
'(nil . ((some-window . mru)))', then a buffer will be displayed
in the same most recently used window from consecutive calls of
'display-buffer' (in a configuration with more than two windows).
