[slime-devel] slime messing with my window configuration
hi, I often use slime as I used ILISP: have two windows in a frame, split vertically, one containing the lisp source, the other containing the *inferior-lisp*. When slime pops up a buffer, e.g. a debug buffer and I exit it, slime closes the window with my code in it and I am left with just an *inferior-lisp* buffer in the frame. Although I'm used to typing <restart> C-x 3 C-x b RET (luckily the last "code" buffer is the default) now, it's pretty tedious. Other than that, I'm very happy with SLIME right now. Great work, guys.

One command that might help is `C-c M-0' (not a spectacularly convenient binding). SLIME generally saves the previous window configuration when it changes things, and this command restores it. We should possibly put window configurations in a ring instead, since this only lets you go back one level. Any suggestions on better window-management would be welcome. -Luke

It seems to restore a random old window config, in my case. Specifically, the window config that I had before I opened a new lisp buffer and made the debugger pop up with a form I evaluated there. Hm.

Sounds like a plan.

Perhaps just leave the window config stuff alone as much as possible - getting it right is really hard. Only close windows that you opened yourself sounds like a good rule of thumb to me. Thanks, -- Andreas Fuchs, <asf@acm.org>, asf@jabber.at, antifuchs
