Subject: Do not switch focus to the completions buffer window
Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2014 01:24:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACXOS-LtFdn9m6MwPMdUwB+QFwvoxJt=Ypd9fwzEYo272u3j1w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,
How would I go about preventing *Completions* buffer window from receiving
focus?  I find some value in having it pop-up, but its usability is very
questionable.  Using Tomohiro Matsuyama's popwin, it is very easy to
dismiss the buffer with C-g.  What I want is for it not to even receive
focus.  I tried creating the following piece of advice; the code doesn't
work but it gives you an idea of what I'm after:

(defadvice comint-dynamic-list-filename-completions (around
unfocus-completions-buffer activate)
  (let ((cur-win (selected-window)))
    ad-do-it
    (select-window cur-win)))


Thanks,
--Leo
