2022-10-07created display-buffer-in-side-window wrapper functionJohn Turner
The old display-buffer-alist thing did not work like I expected it to, so we removed it. Instead of trying to update display-buffer-alist when the screen resizes via a hook, we just create our own display function that can be used in display-buffer-alist directly. The function takes a "which-side" property in the alist, the property holds a function that returns which side the new buffer will snap to when invoked. The display function then creates a new alist with the side property and any other properties were passed in, and calls display-buffer-in-side-window with the new alist. This allows us to use this function as if it were display-buffer-in-side-window, but with an extra property to decide which side the window snaps to each time the function is invoked. This is useful if you want side windows to snap to different parts of the screen based on the current size of the frame, or anything else.
2022-10-04removed display-buffer-alist update functionJohn Turner
Before we had a function that updated display-buffer-alist whenever the frame's size was changed, so that info windows like flymake or flycheck open would snap to either the bottom or right hand side of the frame depending on whether the window manager had the frame squeezed vertically (like when you have two windows side by side split vertically). Now instead of having that function run every time the frame resizes, we just make the 'side property a function that should get evaluated each time the property is read. The function returns either 'bottom or 'right depending on the frame's current size in pixels.
