I wanted to make the window management as simple as possible and created this package - https://github.com/FrostyX/current-window-only . Not everybody will like it but that's okay.
Mine is just the default nil
. I don't use any of the packages. But I prefer magit to be fullscreen and to restore back to where I was on quit:
(setq magit-display-buffer-function 'magit-display-buffer-fullframe-status-topleft-v1)
(setq magit-bury-buffer-function 'magit-restore-window-configuration)
I tried Magit full-screen but It wasnt restoring my previous windows. I didn't know about the bury buffer function so this helps me out a lot. Thanks!
I never took care of setting this aspect of emacs properly. Thanks a ton
