Hi,
*xref* buffer doesn't look nor behaves like other buffers that display
references (*grep*, occur*, *compilation*).
Particularly
- on RET *xref* is buried. That's not that other modes do and it's
rather inconvenient IMO.
- Display is inneficient. Currently two lines are used to display one
item:
/home/vspinu/bin/r-source/src/library/stats/src/port.c
nlminb_iterate(double b[], double d[], double fx, double g[], double h[],
/home/vspinu/bin/r-source/src/include/R_ext/stats_stubs.h
S_nlminb_iterate(double b[], double d[], double fx, double g[], double h[],
I would rather prefer the way *grep* does that.
As we are on this, would be nice if *grep* and *xref* cold abbreviate
file-names by replacing home directory with ~/.
Thanks,
Vitalie
