List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:6032 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:6032 I frequently use M-x occur in several different buffers, in order to compare the occur results from the different buffers. Trouble is, M-x occur always writes to *Occur*, so if I do several M-x occurs in different buffers I have to rename each *Occur* buffer to make it unique. It's inconvenient, and if I do this frequently the number of *Occur* buffers gets out of hand. Sure, I could M-x kill-buffer before M-x occur M-x rename-uniquely. IWBNI M-x occur created an *Occur in buf* buffer so that I wouldn't have to do this, rather than *Occur*. It doesn't seem an outrageous request, after all, the *Occur* buffer is necessarily tied to a particular originating buffer.
