Switch to the next window, or, if there is only one window, the next buffer. If done repeatedly when there is only one window, keeps getting different buffers from the buffer list If you want to cycle through buffers, have you looked at the M-x iswitchb-mode minor

- tag completion when adding new tags (to promote resuing existing tags) This could be easily done by using `completing-read' instead of `read-string' as when searching for tags, but it would be hard to combine this with supporting entering multiple tags with a comma in

This is an alternative to setnu.el. It works incrementally and can number large files fast. As it redraws all visible line numbers after each command, it can also recover from potential layout glitches. Compiler warning: , | In linum: | linum.el:87:6:Warning: `make-local-hook' is an

Writers of libraries that are not part of the Emacs distribution are often more concerned about compatibility for users of different releases and even different flavors of Emacs (e.g. XEmacs). They might be concerned, yes, but I don't think anyone can dictate that a package author

2. The call to fit-frame in anything-maybe-fit-frame passes in 4 params. The 4th parameter to fit-frame was only added on July 21, 2007. Therefore, this causes breakage for anyone using a released version of emacs or a CVS emacs that is not pretty recent. Since the params are optional, you

Another problem: 3. If I use the fit-frame-inhibit-fitting-flag equivalent (setq inhibit-fit-frame-flag nil), that prevents the fit-frame code from executing; however, the modify-frame-parameters call in anything-maybe- fit-frame still gets executed (which results in the existing frame being

Oh, just one minor point (and this is for Tamas) - issue #1 still hasn't been fixed: 1. (minor) There is a space at the beginning of (defun anything- maybe-fit-frame () that should be removed. It's not just cosmetic (or me being pedantic) - several elisp functions assume defun's start

Dave + Emacs Maintainers, It would be nice if boxquote be made available via GNU ELPA. FWIW - Revision 1.22 is on MELPA: http://melpa.milkbox.net/#/boxquote (To reach the Emacs maintainers, the emacs-devel list or `M-x report-emacs-bug' might be more effective than gnu-emacs-sources.)
