Subject: How to know the buffer I will return to from the minibuffer?
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2019 08:10:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r2caonep.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)
Hi all,
I am writing an interactive command to be used while in the minibuffer.
I need to know the buffer I was in when I issued the command that put me
in the minibuffer (like M-: or M-!). I tried (other-buffer
(current-buffer)) and (last-buffer (current-buffer)), but to no avail.
Then I re-read the docs for `other-buffer' and used this: (other-buffer
(current-buffer) t), and it seemed to work. The question is, how
reliable it is. Am I doing this correctly?
TIA,
