Its intended meaning is "Get me back to the default state of things." It's meant for people who don't know Emacs very well, to get out of any kind of temporary state that they might have got themselves into and don't know the command to get out of, Splitting into multiple windows is one such temporary state. So it is right that this gets back to the one-window state. However, I have no objection to adding this option, if it's useful enough to justify its added complexity. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
