No worries. We should continue support the window/frame switches in mu4e as display-buffer-alist
is a bit too complex, IMO, to expect people to set up out of the box.
Thanks for raising this issue. I think the diff you posted would work out OK. Can you raise a PR with it?

@mickeynp: should we update mu4e-display-buffer
for this?
from mu.
FWIW, this worked for me:

@djcb updating the function makes sense. Ideally, people would write their own display buffer actions to handle window display --- but that horse has bolted already.
Malb's patch seems like a good fit too. We'll just need to watch out for regressions in other areas.
from mu.
Is there a way to replace the display buffer actions, i.e. override the choices made in mu4e-display-buffer
?
from mu.
Yes, with display-buffer-alist
. That is the purpose of the new display logic in mu4e: to facilitate complete customisation by the user.
from mu.
Ah, I didn't get that! I thought a user can only add to but not supersede what is hardcoded in mu4e-display-buffer
. But reading the documentation of display-buffer
(sorry for failing to do that properly earlier), I see that display-buffer-alist
takes precedence over ACTION
. So perhaps the "correct fix" is to add a documentation entry showing how to achieve what e.g. I want above?
from mu.
Another issue is, unless I'm overlooking something here, that display-buffer-alist
is buffer name based but the compose buffers don't have a predictable name (they're named after the subject). This can be handled by writing a custom handler for ".*" but this adds complexity.
FWIW I do the latter in malb/frame-dispatch
in https://github.com/malb/emacs.d/blob/master/malb.org#dispatch-buffers-to-frames and malb/display-mu4e-draft-buffer
in https://github.com/malb/emacs.d/blob/master/malb.org#window-management-1
from mu.
I guess a few more examples in the documentation would help, and some mu4e-specific predicate functions to match various buffer types. I'm only slowly learning the magic of display-buffer-alist
...
from mu.
You can pass a function to display-buffer-alist
so it uses that to determine eligibility.
I've written about how to do that here for Magit (a million modes and different buffer names) and how to make windows "project-specific" using Emacs's project.el:
https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/demystifying-emacs-window-manager
So I agree with DJ that a simple mu4e-buffer-p
function that checks if it's any one of mu4e's modes would be useful. If only to save people some typing.
