Subject: Consistency for xref-show-{xrefs,definitions}-function
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 17:27:27 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CH2PR01MB5879698CCD7670BFB29E4FE88BA80@CH2PR01MB5879.prod.exchangelabs.com> (raw)
I noticed that the options 'xref-show-xrefs-function' and
'xref-show-definitions-function' are not symmetrical.
The defcustom for 'xref-show-xrefs-function' does not have type choices
as 'xref-show-definitions-function' has. Furthermore, it's quite strange
to configure it as follow:
(setq xref-show-xrefs-function
'xref-show-definitions-completing-read)
I suggest to create similar functions for 'xref-show-xrefs-function',
which at this moment can be just aliases but can be independent
functions in the future, if necessary:
- xref-show-xrefs-buffer
- xref-show-xrefs-buffer-at-bottom
- xref-show-xrefs-completing-read
Also, the docstrings of both options could be improved a little bit to
give more information about the default choices.
I can submit a patch if these suggestions are accepted.
Regards,
Gabriel
