Yes :-( First, see my last patch. It implements another idea, similar to yours, for tla-changes: The *tla-changes* buffer is poped up at the time you call tla-changes, and xtla doesn't touch your window configuration anymore. So, you can go back to another buffer while tla is working, and come back when the process is over. This was actually already the behavior of tla-bookmarks-missing. It is customizeable (customization should be applied to tla-bookmark-missing too), and should be implemented for other operations too. > Maybe we could create a new function called "tla-display-buffer", or > something like that that uses `display-buffer' instead of > `pop-to-buffer' for things like showing the process buffer, merge > output, etc. I'm thinking for any time where the user isn't really > expecting the window to pop up straight away. This is clearly a good idea, but not so simple as it seem to be (I've implemented something like that, and reverted it immediately !): * Some operations really need to get the focus. tla-edit-log is the perfect example. * Most operations are implemented in a way that assumes (tla-switch-to-buffer) will actually switch to the right buffer. tla-edit-log is also a good example here. I ran it from the changes buffer, and it turned my changes buffer in log-edit-mode :-( So, you must be aware that implementing this will break a lot of other commands, and will need some work and testing. -- Matthieu
