I my proposal the next-error/prev-error commands could be used to navigate through xrefs even after the *xref* buffer disappeared. This can was done--quite elegantly I think--by setting next-error-last-buffer to the *xref* buffer and set the buffer local value of next-error-function in the *xref* buffer appropriately. Dmitry took that out because he thinks that it interferes too much with compilation-mode. Maybe he's right but let me note that M-x rgrep also uses next-error/prev-error and similarly interferes with compilation-mode. Helmut
