What I really want and think is needed is a simpler programming model when
multiple frames are involved.
I want something window-related with the simplicity of select-window and
with-selected-window but that
handles the complexities of multiple frames and asynchronous window
managers internally dealing with:
window selection
frame selection (already built-in to select-window)
input focus
and redisplay.
So if we had mega-select-window (whatever it is called), it would select
the desired window and its frame,
switch input focus there and force a redisplay for that window.
mega-with-selected-window would be similar
but in macro form, handling arbitrary bodies.
Does anyone else see a need for something like this or am I the only one
that finds there are too many gotchas
and complexities in dealing with combinations of these issues right now?
Bob
(I will get back to expanding the doc for select-window later but I wanted
to give you the broader view of what
triggered this).
