Keeping Popup Selector Open

[monibahmed]

HI, Popper is amazing, such a big boost to productivity, from a small utlity. Thank you!

Quick question though, when you switch to the popup buffer it brings up a menu showing the buffers available. Is there anyway to leave the open as long as you are in the popup buffer?

For example, between a scratch buffer and a vterm buffer, if I write something into either on then and want to switch. I have to open/close the buffer.

Thanks,

Thanks for the kind words!

No, the little menu is only intended to let you see/switch to some other popup in case Popper toggled the "wrong" one.

But in your example, you can call popper-cycle instead of toggling, and that will either switch you from scratch to vterm, or it will activate the menu again and let you switch to vterm with M-<num>. Have you tried this?

Yeah, the quick popup buffer switching is what makes the experience worthwhile (adding custom buffers to popup).

Here is my popper setup? M-` does seem to cycle (unless i'm expecting something different). The M- work wonderfully.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package project
    :straight nil)
  (use-package popper
    :bind (("C-`"   . popper-toggle)
       ("M-`"   . popper-cycle)
       ("C-M-`" . popper-toggle-type))
    :init
    ;; have popper respect display-buffer-alist rules
    ;; (setq popper-display-control nil)
    ;; enable actions in echo area (k to kill buffer)
    ;; (setq popper-echo-dispatch-actions t)
    ;; how to group popups
    ;; (setq popper-display-function #'popper-select-popup-at-bottom)
    (setq popper-group-function #'popper-group-by-project)
    ;; which buffers should be considered popups
    (setq popper-window-height 0.33)
    (setq popper-reference-buffers
    '("\\*ChatGPT\\*"
      "\\*scratch\\*"
      "\\*vterm"
        help-mode
        compilation-mode))
    (popper-mode +1)
    (popper-echo-mode +1))                ; For echo area hints
#+end_src

The configuration looks fine. Did you have a specific question?

Yes, M-` seems to cycle through and then stop. The M- options do not pop up again.
