Turns out that this doesn't work at all for links to source code in help mode. When a link to a source definition is clicked in a help buffer (suppose you have done C-h f ), the source file opens in SOME other window - probably the one that the help buffer was called from. Now I don't like that at all, and I've gone through the sources to find out how a link is followed, but I'm still clueless. Why doesn't link-following go through switch-to-buffer-other-window? Thanks for your advice on what to advise here :) -- D
