Possible to never dim the which-key buffer?

[Dima-369]

I am using https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key with this amazing package and have noticed that the which-key buffer is apparently always dimmed regardless of what configuration I use:

I tried variations of the code below but the *which-key* buffer or frame (or however Emacs calls that) is never messaged, so I guess the below can not be used to detect that buffer.

(defun adob--never-dim-p (buffer)
  (message (buffer-name buffer)
  (not (eq (buffer-name buffer) "*which-key*"))))

Do you know of an easy fix to this? Thank you :)

In the which-key documentation there is the option to display the window in the minibuffer: (which-key-setup-minibuffer) but it turns out that it is broken for me and the keys are only briefly shown and then the window clears. Really no clue why :(

Though in that case, the minibuffer is correctly not dimmed, but as mentioned I can't use that.

adob--never-dim-p is not used in Emacs 27+ so changing it has no effect. I’ve pushed a new version which introduces auto-dim-other-buffers-never-dim-buffer-functions hook which can be used though. You can grab it directly from the repository or wait for MELPA to update the package.

Thank you! The code below in the commit message works perfectly:

(defun mpn-never-dim-hidden (buf)
  (eq ?\s (aref (buffer-name buf) 0)))
(add-hook 'auto-dim-other-buffers-never-dim-buffer-functions #'mpn-never-dim-hidden)
