Quitting Popup Buffers

[Stefan Kamphausen]

Hi,

nrepl.el by default uses nrepl-popup-buffer-quit which invokes quit-window whenever I hit q in a popup buffer.  I find that quite annoying because it breaks my carefully adjusted layout of windows.

AFAICS there is no way to customize that behavior other than overriding by setting nrepl-popup-buffer-quit-function.

My questions:

* Is anyone else annoyed by the interference with windows?
* If not, how do you usually layout your windows? (One common setup for me is having to windows vertically, the lower being the REPL and the upper the buffer I am currently working in)
* Is my assumption correct, that I would have to set nrepl-popup-buffer-quit-function?
* If so, what is the preferred way of doing that?

Kind regards,
Stefan

One thing I've found annoying is that when there's an exception the exception buffer isn't in focus.

Typically you just want to 'q' / quit that, fix the bug, and re-evaluate, but now you have to first switch to that window.

I'd be interested in trying out your changes.

I don't know about the quitting issue in general, but I will say that I very much dislike any library that tries to be smart about window management, because I use my own elisp window manager.

The nrepl.el I use is modified to remove all custom window handling and to better respect Emacs conventions. If you want, I can extract these modifications as a patch.

Full ack by be. I find this annoying as well. I'd like nrepl to remember the window the exception buffer was displayed last,

or as an alternative, use emacs' default window handling.
