Hello,
when editing textareas in Emacs/w3m I end up editing in a separate (and
smaller) window. Since my blocks of text are rather large, I would prefer
very much if the current window would be used for editing (and restored
afterwards). I tried to get this behaviour by using
(pushnew "*w3m form textarea*" same-window-buffer-names)
Unfortunately, this did not help. Does anyone here know a solution?
Thank you,
Nicolas

This is because `w3m-form-input-textarea' does not call one of
`display-buffer' and `pop-to-buffer', but rather `switch-to-buffer', and
handles window creation and ~ switching itself.
I see no way short of either commenting out
(condition-case nil
(split-window cur-win (if (> size 0) size window-min-height))
(error
(delete-other-windows)
(split-window cur-win (- (window-height cur-win)
w3m-form-input-textarea-buffer-lines))))
(select-window (next-window))
at the end of the definition of w3m-form-input-textarea, or filing a
feature request (preferably with a patch) to the devs of emacs-w3m that
would achieve what you want.
