List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-devel-bounces+ged-emacs-devel=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Original-Sender: "Emacs-devel" Xref: news.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:236592 Archived-At: It's always bothered me that following a function/variable definition button from a *Help* buffer goes to the file in a separate window -- I almost always want to re-use the *Help* window. Essentially, help-mode.el:209 hard-codes the use of `pop-to-buffer', I'd like to be able to use `pop-to-buffer-same-window'. >From a user's standpoint, I guess what I'd prefer is to be able to give a prefix arg to RET when following the button, but I don't see any way of passing that arg down, plus there's no good equivalent for the mouse click. Would people consider a customization option to control this? Eric
