Hi !
I use an IM within emacs which hides its buffer by calling them with
a leading space (Ex: `` *Netsoul Textbox*'').
When a zone is made in a window showing such a buffer, it leaves
with another buffer. Reason is just that zone kills its own buffer,
leaving the next one shown (which can't be one with a leading
space).
I'm wondering if a patch like the following could be applied.
*** zone.el 2005-09-18 14:32:51.000000000 +0200
--- zone-.el 2005-10-06 16:52:59.000000000 +0200
***************
*** 135,140 ****
--- 135,141 ----
(defun zone ()
"Zone out, completely."
(interactive)
+ (save-window-excursion
(let ((f (selected-frame))
(outbuf (get-buffer-create "*zone*"))
(text (buffer-substring (window-start) (window-end)))
***************
*** 187,193 ****
(funcall restore)
(ding)
(message "Zoning...sorry")))
! (when restore (funcall restore)))))
;;;; Zone when idle, or not.
--- 188,194 ----
(funcall restore)
(ding)
(message "Zoning...sorry")))
! (when restore (funcall restore))))))
;;;; Zone when idle, or not.
Thanks guys !

Your patch to zone is probably fine (tho I really have no idea), but I just
want to point out that buffers that are shown to the user should preferable
not start with a space. So maybe you should report also a bug to your IM
package's author.

The point is that this IM has some kind of interface, which looks
like:
.-----------------------------.---------------.
| User's picture | Contact list: |
| User name | * Sylvia |
| | * Tom |
| <Tom> Hi ! | * Pierre |
| <You> Hello. | * Dummy |
| <Tom> foo ? | * bar |
| <You> baz. | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|-----------------------------| |
| Textbox. | |
| | |
| | |
`-----------------------------°---------------'
This interface is independent from your current window configuration
and can be shown/hidden everywhere. It uses window-configuration
functions to allow this.
In order to not mess up the whole thing and not bother the user with
a huge buffer list, all these buffers are hidden using the leading
space technique.
I'm doing the same with jabber buffers: all chat buffers start with
a space, and I've made up some functions to list them.
Is it a misuse of this technique ?
