Prevent emacs from keeping all buffers open #58

Closed student-sx closed 6 months ago

student-sx commented 2 years ago

If I start org-sidebar-tree and use it to navigate to various sections of my org-file, it opens each time a new buffer containing the selected section.

However the previously seen sections remain open as buffers in the background.

Is there a good reason for this behavior? How can I turn it off (i.e. only the buffer displaying the last selected section says open)?

Please see option org-sidebar-jump-indirect.

Thanks, however I didn't find out of how to make it work. First I looked for a documentation of this variable, but didn't find any. In the source code of org-sidebar.el it appears to be set to be true by default (but the variable doesn't seem to be used in the rest of the source code). Setting (setq org-sidebar-jump-indirect nil) didn't have any effect. So it would be great, if you could add some more details.
