stillness-mode

A global emacs minor mode that stops windows from resizing and scrolling when you complete something. Inspired by Psionikus.

➡

Installation:

with straight.el:

(straight-use-package '(stillness-mode :host github :repo "neeasade/stillness-mode.el" :branch "main"))

with vc-use-package (emacs 30)

(use-package stillness
  :demand t
  :vc (:url "https://github.com/neeasade/stillness-mode.el" :branch "main"))

Features:

• works with horizontally stacked windows
• accounts for windows below the expected minibuffer height
• keep your region up if it would be visible

Customization

stillness-mode should just work, but you can tell it the expected minibuffer height by setting stillness-mode-minibuffer-height

Caveats:

• if you depend on the point during a completing read, this breaks you (eg embark)
• stillness-mode doesn’t account for line wrapping.
