Well... I'm not sure I agree. The quickfix, location list, and command-line windows are already very distinct from any other windows you can create. They behave differently, they have special commands that open and close them, they have key bindings that only apply in that one type of window. It seems reasonable that the code for these types of windows should be as centralized as possible - doing it all in vimscript would be a noble goal, but is certainly beyond the abilities that are currently available in vimscript, and barring that, I think that all of their special-case behavior should be held in the source code. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
