Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Hello,
this has been discussed several times, but since Lars is here now, an
official request:
Wouldn't it be better to let eww use display-buffer instead of
switch-to-buffer in several places (at least, when calling eww and
eww-browse-url, probably some more)? display-buffer's behavior can be
controlled via binding variables, while display-buffer makes the same a
horror.
For example, when I'm reading newspaper feeds from Gnus and want to open
a link with eww in a new pop up frame, I have to use this ugly hack,
ugh:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-eww-browse-url-pop-up-frame (url &optional _)
"My private version of `eww-browse-url', creating a new frame."
(let ((frame (make-frame '()))
(buffer (generate-new-buffer "*eww*"))
win)
(with-current-buffer buffer
(eww-mode)
(eww url))
(select-frame-set-input-focus frame)
(setq win (frame-root-window frame))
(set-window-buffer win buffer)
frame))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thanks,
Michael.
