I hate those for 2 reasons: - they're very limited (can't be used to say "always in another window", or "maybe not the same window, but at least the same frame", ...). - they're currently abused by elisp code. >> (or, worse, permanently adding its buffer names to it) > This is a legitimate way for an application to define > its default behavior. Look for example at: > ;;;###autoload (add-hook 'same-window-regexps "\\*info\\*\\(\\|<[0-9]+>\\)") This is exactly the kind of evil I don't want: such variables should only ever be modified by the user. And `add-hook' is an abuse here as well since same-window-regexps is not a hook. Stefan
