This is because finder-exit uses kill-window instead of quit-window, and is a minor annoyance. The attached patch fixes that by using quit-window instead.

That should of course be "delete-window instead of quit-window". ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Yes, but please also explain the motivation for the change. In particular, what do you mean by "gone" in the above description? Doesn't quit-window also make the window go away, and since you call it with 2nd arg non-nil, also kill the buffer? So I'm unsure I understand the essence of the change and more importantly its user-visible effects. Thanks. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

In > particular, what do you mean by "gone" in the above description? The behaviour now is this: When I have two windows open and hit C-h p that makes Finder display in the window not currently in focus, and focus moves there. If I hit q, that window gets deleted (is "gone"), and I'm left with only one window. > Doesn't quit-window also make the window go away, and since you call > it with 2nd arg non-nil, also kill the buffer? With the attached patch, if I have two windows and hit C-h p and then q, the display reverts to its previous state. In other words, I'm back with two windows displaying the same buffers as before I hit C-h p. I think this is more intuitive and allows the user to immediately get back to her work. quit-window has heuristics that delete-window lacks. This is how its explained in the doc string of quit-window: According to information stored in WINDOW’s ‘quit-restore’ window parameter either (1) delete WINDOW and its frame, (2) delete WINDOW, (3) restore the buffer previously displayed in WINDOW, or (4) make WINDOW display some other buffer than the present one. If non-nil, reset ‘quit-restore’ parameter to nil. Lastly, when we exit Finder, we want to kill the "*Finder*" buffer too. This is why quit-window should get a non-nil second argument. That's the same behaviour as today. > So I'm unsure I > understand the essence of the change and more importantly its > user-visible effects. Does the above clear it up sufficiently?

Yes, thanks. Please try in the future including such details either in the bug report, or in the commit log message, or in the comments to the changes, whatever is appropriate for the case at hand. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
