Would you > please pick a name that indicates what this does? I chose "pin" because in some gui toolkits there is a widget that looks like a little needle/pin that you can use to "fasten" the window and not go away on certain operations. I dont have a better name than pin right now, can someone think one up? > - set "group" to something, and all windows with the same value will be > considered in the same window group, which affects other-window for > instance. > > How does this affect other-window? c-x o only jumps between other windows with the same group id. The main attraction of this is that it is possible to have a number of context windows, and an edit area. Its not normaly interesting to select one of the context windows, only windows in the edit area. -- Joakim Verona
