This function makes window the selected window
and the window selected within its frame (see Basic Windows) and
selects that frame. It also makes window’s
buffer (see Buffers and
Windows) current and sets that buffer’s value of
point to the value of window-point
(see Window
Point) in window. window must be a
live window. The return value is window.
By default, this function also moves
window’s buffer to the front of the buffer
list (see Buffer
List), and makes window the most recently
selected window. However, if the optional argument
norecord is non-nil, these additional
actions are omitted.
This function runs buffer-list-update-hook
(see Buffer List)
unless norecord is non-nil. Note that
applications and internal routines often temporarily select a
window in order to simplify coding. As a rule, such
selections (including those made by the macros
save-selected-window and
with-selected-window below) are not recorded
thus avoiding to pollute
buffer-list-update-hook. Selections that really
count are those causing a visible change in the next
redisplay of window’s frame and should be
always recorded. This also means that to run a function each
time a window gets selected, putting it on
buffer-list-update-hook should be the right
choice.
The sequence of calls to select-window with a
non-nil norecord argument determines an
ordering of windows by their selection time. The function
get-lru-window can be used to retrieve the least
recently selected live window (see Cyclic
Window Ordering).
This macro records the selected frame, as well as the selected window of each frame, executes forms in sequence, then restores the earlier selected frame and windows. It also saves and restores the current buffer. It returns the value of the last form in forms.
This macro does not save or restore anything about the sizes, arrangement or contents of windows; therefore, if forms change them, the change persists. If the previously selected window of some frame is no longer live at the time of exit from forms, that frame’s selected window is left alone. If the previously selected window is no longer live, then whatever window is selected at the end of forms remains selected. The current buffer is restored if and only if it is still live when exiting forms.
This macro changes neither the ordering of recently selected windows nor the buffer list.
This macro selects window, executes
forms in sequence, then restores the previously
selected window and current buffer. The ordering of recently
selected windows and the buffer list remain unchanged unless
you deliberately change them within forms; for
example, by calling select-window with argument
norecord nil.
This macro does not change the order of recently selected windows or the buffer list.
This function returns the window on frame that
is selected within that frame. frame should be a
live frame; if omitted or nil, it defaults to
the selected frame.
This function makes window the window selected
within the frame frame. frame should be
a live frame; if nil, it defaults to the
selected frame. window should be a live window; if
nil, it defaults to the selected window.
If frame is the selected frame, this makes window the selected window.
If the optional argument norecord is
non-nil, this function does not alter the list
of most recently selected windows, nor the buffer list.
This functions returns the use time of window window. window must be a live window and defaults to the selected one.
The use time of a window is not really a time
value, but an integer that does increase monotonically with
each call of select-window with a
nil norecord argument. The window
with the lowest use time is usually called the least recently
used window while the window with the highest use time is
called the most recently used one (see Cyclic
Window Ordering).
