OK, maybe one should report a bug it should be noted in the docstring ... > Please use instead `display-buffer-base-action` Alright, but how? The docstring says It should be a cons cell (FUNCTIONS . ALIST), where FUNCTIONS is an action function or a list of action functions and ALIST is an action alist. Each such action function should accept two arguments: a buffer to display and an alist of the same form as ALIST. So it should be ( (af_0 ... af_n) . ((k_0 . a_0) ... (k_m . a_m)) ) where af = action function k = key a = action where each action function has the form af(buf, alist) where alist has the form ( (k_0 . a_0) ... (k_m . a_m) ) Pretty simple, right? -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
