What to do when a window is dedicated to a buffer?
This happens if the selected window is a minibuffer window, or if the selected window is strongly dedicated to its buffer (see Dedicated Windows ). In such cases, the command normally tries to display the buffer in some other window, by invoking pop-to-buffer (see below).
How to ignore a case in switch in Java?
The String in the switch expression is compared with the expressions associated with each case label as if the String#equals method were being used. switch (s.toUpperCase ()) { …..
What does switch to buffer do in GNU?
By default, switch-to-buffer tries to preserve window-point. This behavior can be tuned using the following option. If this variable is nil, switch-to-buffer displays the buffer specified by buffer-or-name at the position of that buffer’s point.
What’s the best way to switch buffers in Emacs?
A solution without this problem is demonstrated by Microsoft Windows. On this platform, ALT-TAB lets you switch through windows (” Frame s” in Emacs lingo) to pick the one you want, then pulls that window to the top.
How is the mode of a new buffer determined?
If buffer-or-name is a string that is not the name of any existing buffer, this function creates a new buffer with that name; the new buffer’s major mode is determined by the variable major-mode (see Major Modes ).
Can a Lisp program make a buffer temporarily current?
Do not use these functions to make a buffer temporarily current just so a Lisp program can access or modify it. They have side-effects, such as changing window histories (see Window History ), which will surprise the user if used that way.
How do I change the name of the buffer?
This command replaces buffer-or-name with some other buffer, in all windows displaying it. buffer-or-name should be a buffer, or the name of an existing buffer; if omitted or nil, it defaults to the current buffer. The replacement buffer in each window is chosen via switch-to-prev-buffer (see Window History ).
What is the function to return the buffer?
Function: window-buffer &optional window This function returns the buffer that window is displaying. If window is omitted or nil it defaults to the selected window. If window is an internal window, this function returns nil.
