And the problem is not only with `current-column' but also with how we use the result. If we then use it to align to pieces of text, they might be aligned in one window but not in another. yes, this is the real problem, AFAICS. PS: I don't see why `current-column' needs an extra `window' argument. What's wrong with using the currently selected window ? you're right. it doesn't. i retract that proposal, now realizing that selected window sensitivity is already supported. i'll use selected window for the iterator. thi
