Q about occur buffer/point

[Mike Ballard]

Hi - 

I like to use occur to search large files but don't like that point
switches out of the occur buffer when selecting a line.  Is there a way to
have everything work as it does now but keep point in the occur buffer?

Hit C-h b in the *Occur* buffer for the key bindings.  You'll find
C-o, I guess.

Only on recent version of emacs I guess...

(defun alt-occur-mode-view-occurrence ()

  (interactive)
  (let ((pos (occur-mode-find-occurrence)))
    (pop-to-buffer occur-buffer)
    (goto-char (marker-position pos))
    (pop-to-buffer "*Occur*")))

(add-hook 'occur-mode-hook
