It's worth documenting. I'd prefer not to override it in notmuch-help, because it's important to me that it behave like other help functions in emacs. users could defadvice it or something if they really want. > > For notmuch-help I actually don't need a split window (I want > temporarily see as much info as possible and close the buffer quickly), > does the help-window thing also allow for that? I'm not sure. My emacs frame is always split, so it just opens in the other window for me, which is what I want. I'm sure some quick source- or documentation- diving would answer whether with-help-window can be made to re-use the current window, but I haven't done that.
