Subject: bug#13451: 24.3.50; doc of `window-persistent-parameters' and window parameters generally
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:36:57 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E171D6D6D5AD420F9B758EA4431CB047@us.oracle.com> (raw)
I'm looking for information about window configurations and what
gets saved/restored etc.
I do `C-h v window-persistent-parameters', and I see that the current
value, which is apparently the default, is ((clone-of . t)).
Naturally, I want to know what this means, so I read the rest of the
*Help* buffer. Nada. Well, the `t' is explained, but not the
`clone-of'. Not very helpful help.
So I search the Elisp manual. I come across nodes `Window
Configurations' and `Window Parameters'. The latter, in particular,
seems like it should list the possible parameters, including `clone-of',
which is the parameter saved in a window config by default.
Nada. Again, the CDR of `window-persistent-parameters' is described
(possible values nil, t, writable), but nothing about the CAR - its
possible values. Again, not very helpful help.
Please document the possible values for the CAR, at least the most
common ones, and at the very least `clone-of', which is apparently the
only one saved/restored by default (at least on MS Windows).
Please describe the window parameters: what they are, what behaviors they
affect, and how. Describing a window configuration as a saved set of window
parameters is not very useful if one cannot find out what the parameters are or
what they do.
