Hi David,

Several other options come to mind, like a mode where mouse-over removes
the preview.

I've set preview-auto-reveal to t, and it has a similar effect: single left-click open the preview, which closes automatically as soon as I left-click somewhere else. Right-click still leaves it open. The two clicks complement each other nicely.


Or two parallel (synchronized?) windows where one is
without previews (that's only possible on Emacs rather than XEmacs since
one can restrict overlays to show only on a particular window).

That's a brilliant idea, useful for other purposes too! Now I have an indirect buffer on the side, where the previews are inactivated.


On Emacs, I think that you could use

(preview-open-overlays (overlays-in BEG END))

Preview overlays should have a non-nil state of the 'preview-state
property, and there also is
preview-toggle is a compiled Lisp function in ‘prv-emacs.el’.

(preview-toggle OV &optional ARG EVENT)

Toggle visibility of preview overlay OV.
ARG can be one of the following: t displays the overlay,
nil displays the underlying text, and 'toggle toggles.
If EVENT is given, it indicates the window where the event
occured, either by being a mouse event or by directly being
the window in question.  This may be used for cursor restoration
purposes.


So filtering the output of overlays-at (possibly given window-start and
window-end ?) for preview overlays and then calling preview-toggle with
some settings on all of them should be reasonably simple.


Thank you, I'll give that a try!

Cheers,
J
