* Does with-selected-window set current buffer? @ 2008-09-05 20:01 Lennart Borgman (gmail) 2008-09-05 20:35 ` Francis Litterio 2008-09-05 21:49 ` Stefan Monnier 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Lennart Borgman (gmail) @ 2008-09-05 20:01 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Emacs Devel I am trying to understand if with-selected-window sets current buffer to the selected window. with-selected-window calls select-window. The doc string for select-window makes me a bit confused. At the end of it is a notion that the command loop selects the buffer of selected window. Does that mean that select-window does not select that window? Or what is the comment about? The reason I am asking is that I have recently seen some cases where I use with-selected-window in a timer and it looks to me like the code has been carried out in the wrong buffer. I am not sure yet what is happening though. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Well, the current buffer can't be a window object. I think you meant to ask if with-selected-window sets the current buffer to the buffer displayed in the specified window. As far as I can tell, it does. -- Fran ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Not always. Sadly, it does it in most cases, so it's easy to be mislead into thinking that it does. Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Then it would be very good if the doc string reflected this. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
