Typically Emacs provides > _some_ key to open things in another window or frame. Well, it depends on the mode. For instance, I don't think `M-x grep' has any command to open in a new window/frame, and I don't think we want to add all those commands to all these modes because users want so many different combinations here that it's best left to the general buffer/window selection machinery. But... on the other hand, perhaps a standard set of commands (and keystrokes) for these "follow this 'link'" modes would be nice? Anybody got an opinion here? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
