Hi Arthur,
I like this. I'm often reading some documentation while testing things
into the current buffer so I think I would be a great addition. I'm
testing your patch now (and will report any issue if needed).
As a potential future user, I have some comments/requests:
- Could it be extend to Man buffers? I think it would even be more
useful than *Help* buffers which are short most of the time (or
maybe it is just me).
- Is it possible to have repeat mode for this? So one could do
"C-h M-i SPC SPC SPC DEL" to browse some info pages.
- Could we have a "umbrella" keybinding that does this for some
common denominator functions the other "documentation" buffer
(be it *info*, *Help* or a man page)?
Best regards,
