Recently I migrated from emacs 25 to 26.1. Before I reached the window behaviour, where I could always open a file at the window at point.
The most simple case to illustrate undesired behaviour: I have two split windows. I am calling find-file
(or other alternatives) from the left one, while the new file opens in the right window.
Meanwhile, only ido-find-file
works as desired (opens file at the window at point).
I tried find-file
/counsel-projectile-find-file
/helm-find-file
and they all do not open the file in the current window.
I tried to change window-related variables introduced in emacs 26.1; so, relevant emacs config might be here:
(setq pop-up-windows nil
switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point nil
switch-to-visible-buffer nil
switch-to-buffer-in-dedicated-window t)
Have anybody tackled this issue?
UPDATE (2018-12-04):
In order to achieve the desired behaviour I used el-patch package with the following lines:
(el-patch-defun find-file (filename &optional wildcards)
(interactive
(find-file-read-args "Find file: "
(confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer)))
(let ((value (find-file-noselect filename nil nil wildcards)))
(if (listp value)
(mapcar (el-patch-swap 'pop-to-buffer-same-window 'switch-to-buffer) (nreverse value))
((el-patch-swap pop-to-buffer-same-window switch-to-buffer) value))))
