Documentation: Add make-frame-visible to after-make-frame-functions #153

Closed c6c7 closed 5 years ago

There is a bug with ace-window-display-mode where newly created frames that are not yet considered visible by frame-visible-p (when evaluated in ace-window-list) do not get updated correctly by aw-update. This problem is likely window manager specific, so it may not be possible to fix inside of ace-window.

To solve this problem for my window manager, I added the following line to my init.el:

(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions (lambda (f) (make-frame-visible f)))

This should ensures that newly created frames are considered visible by ace-window. I'm not aware of any use cases where a new frame should not be considered visible, so maybe this is a bug in Emacs.

I suggest this problem be noted in the documentation with the fix I used for my setup.

Thanks, make-frame-visible is now the default.
