Subject: bug#35592: Use display-buffer-in-direction for completion-like windows
Date: Sun, 05 May 2019 23:40:10 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87woj4r5xx.fsf@mail.linkov.net> (raw)
Proced has dired-like UI. Dired smoothly displays a completion-like
confirmation window with filenames. ‘proced-with-processes-buffer’
even has a comment proudly declaring its compatibility with dired:
;; Analogous to `dired-pop-to-buffer'
;; Don't split window horizontally. (Bug#1806)
But in fact currently Proced can't handle more than 1 window on the same frame.
For example, compare these cases:
When there is only 1 window:
0. emacs -Q
1. M-x proced
2. C-x 1
3. d d x
then a list of *Marked Processes* is displayed in the bottom window
nicely like in Dired.
But when windows are split vertically:
0. emacs -Q
1. M-x proced
2. d d x
then a list of *Marked Processes* is displayed in the top window.
When windows are split horizontally:
0. emacs -Q
1. C-x 3
2. M-x proced
3. d d x
then the buffer *Marked Processes* is displayed in the left window.
Splitting to more windows cause it to display this buffer in random places.
This could be fixed by using something like:
(display-buffer "*Marked Processes*"
'((display-buffer-in-direction)
(direction . bottom)
(window . main)
(window-height . fit-window-to-buffer)))
The same would be useful also for Widget using e.g.
diff --git a/lisp/wid-edit.el b/lisp/wid-edit.el
index b9f98cdc4c..b077299c0e 100644
--- a/lisp/wid-edit.el
