URL: https://github.com/karthink/popper What is Popper? Short for "Popup Buffer", it's a global minor mode that designates buffers as "popups", which means their display can be toggled with a single key-press. This is useful for quickly displaying and dismissing "auxiliary" buffers like shells, compilation, help/man, grep buffers etc. If you have used the guake/yakuake pull-down terminals on GNOME or KDE, the experience should be similar. - You can designate a buffer as a "popup" manually or automatically ahead of time via name/major-mode or any predicate of your choosing. - You can cycle through your popups with one key. - You can group your popups by any predicate: for example, by project so that you only see auxiliary buffers relevant to your current project. There are other features, and a few video demos at the link. There are a few other packages that do this kind of thing, but they are one or more of: - Unmaintained (Popwin). - Too limited in scope. For example, the shellpop and vterm-toggle packages allows this kind of behavior but only for shells. Popper is generic. - Too rigid/overarching in their display behavior. In contrast, Popper does not try to control how popups are displayed: your display-buffer-alist rules are respected, so that it composes well with your other packages or customizations involving buffer display. This package is now 4+ years old and (I think) in a stable state. It has been installed 16,000+ times. Copyright assignment: I have signed the FSF copyright assignment papers. Popper has several other contributors, but each of their contributions is limited to 1-2 lines, usually fixing a linting issue or typo. Please let me know if need more information or have any concerns. Karthik
