opening magit full-frame then restoring windows on q (alien.top)
submitted 1 year ago by unduly-noted@alien.top to c/emacs

I'd like magit-status to open full frame, ie a single window. When I hit q to exit, I'd like my previous window configuration to be restored.

What's the best way to do this? Setting the follow var causes it to open full frame, but removes all windows except for one upon exit:

 (setq magit-display-buffer-function
  #'magit-display-buffer-fullframe-status-v1)

I can get to my previous window layout with winner-undo, but I'd like q to do the right thing in this case.

Any thoughts?

u/unhammer commented this in another post that: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/179t67l/window_management_share_your_displaybufferalist/k5b56i2/

(setq magit-display-buffer-function 'magit-display-buffer-fullframe-status-topleft-v1)
(setq magit-bury-buffer-function 'magit-restore-window-configuration)

That's the ticket! Thank you!

This configuration only buries the magit buffer which may or may not be what you want, I prefer to actually kill the buffer so this is what I use instead:

(use-package magit
    :preface (defun my/magit-kill-buffers ()
                 "Restore window configuration and kill all Magit buffers."
                 (interactive)
                 (let ((buffers (magit-mode-get-buffers)))
                     (magit-restore-window-configuration)
                     (mapc #'kill-buffer buffers)))
    :bind (:map magit-status-mode-map
                ("q" . #'my/magit-kill-buffers)
                ("C-x k" . #'my/magit-kill-buffers))
    :custom ((magit-display-buffer-function 'magit-display-buffer-same-window-except-diff-v1)
             (git-commit-summary-max-length 50)
             (magit-diff-refine-hunk t) ; show granular diffs in selected hunk.
             (magit-save-repository-buffers nil)
             (magit-define-global-key-bindings nil)))

Curious why you prefer killing?

[–] jvillasante@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just like to have a clean ibuffer :)

After done with magit I want all magit buffers killed so that I can have a clean buffer list.

[–] unduly-noted@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Makes sense. I tried to keep my buffer list clean at first, but kinda gave up cause so many things in emacs create buffers
