One could imagine this as a part of a much larger change to have a whole set of different parameters depending on the currently active window. Has this feature been requested before? Would it be cumbersome to implement? Is it desirable at all? Can this be hacked together using simple Emacs Lisp? Thanks, Deniz Dogan
