What do you think? I haven't thought about that, but this is the kind of hacking I like, when Emacs figures out what you mean, based on something that isn't part of the command itself. Try this: (defun delete-window-or-switch () (interactive) (if (= 1 (count-windows)) (switch-buffer) (delete-window) )) -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
