My thinking is changing about the first point above. Now I am thinking maybe the behavior should be made configurable, but the default not changed. What we would do is introduce a pair of user variables, one for buffers without an opener, and one for buffers with, that give the position at which to create them. The allowed values would be: 'left', 'right', 'end', or an integer. The values 'left' and 'right' would mean immediately before or after the opener or current buffer. The value 'end' would mean at the end of the list. An integer value would give an explicit index, 0 indicating the front of the list. The second point above seems uncontroversial, and has even been requested by several people, so that could be made default. What to do about bury-buffer is something I want to think more about. It's a logical extension of a temporally-organized UI, but not so much of a spacially-organized one. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
