Re: Advicing select-windows, shr rendering, and per-buffer-theme package

[raman]

Hi Stefan,

Yes, the idle-timer solution worked surprisingly well which at least to
me was counter-intuitive --- guess I dont understand Emacs' internals
well enough. So what is it that led folk like yourself and John to
intuitively suggest idle timers for this case?


Incidentally the documentation for  
buffer-list-update-hook is fairly  misleading. I originally tried using
that hook and saw it firing way too often; then adviced select-window
and observed that that fired almost as often which was still too often.

Places where the afore-mentioned hook fires where you wouldn't expect it
to bsed on the doc-string:

A. While transitioning through the minibuffer 

B. When you have completions come and go as you interact with the
minibuffer 

C. shr/eww as the earlier poster pointed out 

D. and many more cases that will fit this margin.
