editor: try harder to open buffers in the last focused stack (4.52 KB, patch)

Description Thibault Saunier 2016-02-01 11:13:33 UTC 
I have a split view with some/file.c on the left side, and some/other/file.c on the right side. Doing `:e some/file.c` from the right side should just reopen that file in there and not move the cursor to the left view.

I (now) know that I can do "ctrl+w v" but the behaviour I describe here is not natural.
Comment 1 Thibault Saunier 2016-02-01 12:10:49 UTC 
Actually that behaviour is even more annoying than just that :)

I have:

left view           | right view
--------------------|-------------------
some/file.c         | some/other/file.c
file1.c (hidden)    |

If I go to the left view and want to see file1.c (using the top search bar)
I will end up with:

left view           | right view
--------------------|-------------------
file1.c             | some/other/file.c
some/file.c (hidden)|

instead of:

left view           | right view
--------------------|-------------------
some/file.c         | file1.c
file1.c (hidden)    | some/other/file.c (hidden)

I certainly find this annoying at times too :)

Created attachment 321805 [details] [review]
editor: try harder to open buffers in the last focused stack

This also fixes things like "e foo/bar.c" from the command bar to show
up in the view that was last focused.
