[edgar]

Hello. I would like to request this to be pushed onto the =maint= branch 
(7684b59c7) or make it the default, please.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2019-12/txtr_q1WmvVPH.txt

which is related to (at least) commits 7d5e931f7 and d833920de from the 
=master= branch. I have also tested by using lisp/org-src.el from the 
current =master= (9bc0cc7fb) on the =maint= branch (7684b59c7), and it 
works for me. Thanks!

this has been applied in the master branch back in January,
it will be part of Org 9.4.

restore window configuration after org-edit-src-exit

About a year ago change 819e98afd018cad3c13fd58bfcbd979ab36dfbc7 was checked in
to remove code that restored window configuration when =org-edit-src-exit=
finished. The net result is af if =C-x 1= is called to remove all windows except
the org buffer just edited. This is very inconvenient.

Why not call =winner-undo= to restore window configuration as shown here?

For now I'm using the following advice do the same thing.

I'd rather not add another dependency just for this. 

However, it doesn't mean the inconvenience shouldn't be fixed. I cannot
remember why 819e98afd018cad3c13fd58bfcbd979ab36dfbc7 was necessary. I'm
Cc'ing Matt Price.

Here's the related thread:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2018-11/msg00253.html

Summary: Matt had a case where he didn't want the window configuration
to be restored, so he proposed hiding the behavior behind an option.
You wondered whether we should just remove support for restoring the
window configuration and not bother with the option.  Nobody offered a
defense for restoring the window configuration or complained... until
now :]

[Jack Kamm]

I'd like to add a vote for the old behavior. I only recently noticed the
new behavior, and agree with Richard that it's inconvenient. I think
many of us missed this change because it wasn't in 9.2.

In particular, I'd propose to make the old behavior the default, and
hide the new behavior behind an option like Matt originally proposed.

I'm updating my copyright papers for my current job, if no one has
submitted a patch by the time I've got that sorted, I could work on a
patch then.

Re: restore window configuration after org-edit-src-exit

[Jack Kamm]

Sorry for the noise, but I just had another thought:

Rather than adding a new option, how about we make the behavior
dependent on the value of org-src-window-setup?

Basically, when org-src-window-setup is current-window, it never makes
sense to restore the original layout. But when org-src-window-setup is
reorganize-frame (the default), it always makes sense to restore the
original layout.

I'm not sure what the "correct" behavior would be for the other options
however.

Now that I think about it, I remember trying out the "current-window"
option before, and having a very similar experience to Matt -- while I
enjoyed having more manual control over the window layout, the fact that
org-mode would change the window layout after I finished editing
defeated the whole purpose of this, so I switched back to the original
defaults.

This makes sense to me.

While we're talking about org-src-window-setup, I set it to
'split-window-right on my large monitor.  Sometimes, I make the src
window full frame but then, when trying to go back to the org buffer
(C-c '), I get the error:

delete-window: Attempt to delete minibuffer or sole ordinary window

This would be fixed if the original layout were restored instead of
simply deleting the src window, I guess.

I think any value that modifies the current layout ought to restore it:
- `split-window-below'
- `split-window-right'
- `reorganize-frame'

OTOH, values that use the current layout should not restore it
afterwards:
- `current-window'
- `other-window'
- `other-frame'

This should be mentioned in the docstring.

WDYT?

I agree, this sounds like the correct behavior to me.

OK. Would you want to implement it?

Yes, but I'm still in the process of updating my copyright papers for my
current job. My job said they won't be able to sign the copyright
disclaimer until the new year, so I expect this to be sorted out later
in January some time.

However, the change here is very small, I just wrote a small patch and
it's 15 insertions (+), 4 deletions(-), including the entry in
ORG-NEWS. My understanding is that such small changes don't require
explicit copyright assignment.

Is it OK for me to send the patch along, or should I hold off on this?

It is OK.
