Hello again!
This patch adds bindings for project.el.
I followed tab-bar's example and added prefix map to subr.el, and added the bindings to bindings.el. I guess these can be removed at any point in time later.
Also, my assignment form and disclaimer is with the fsf-clerk, and has been for a while. I sent an email this morning, hoping to speed up the process.

Can you tell what is the rationale for having project.el keymap
defined outside of project.el?

If nothing happens within a week or two, ping them and CC me.

In https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=41879#23
Dmitry says:
"Do we keep it in project.el or somewhere outside? Maybe the latter, since
project.el is also an ELPA package, and we generally don't want packages to
alter Emacs' key bindings right after installation."
I guess this concern is for when users not building from master is downloading 'project.el' from ELPA.
I don't really have a strong opinion for any direction. Would you rather want them in 'project.el'?

He responded and said they have what they need from me and will process it further. I guess it is done at some point soon.

I certainly would. It is very unusual for an optional package to have
its bindings in files that are preloaded into every Emacs session.

Well, if there's no progress within a week or two, my suggestion still
stands.

Ok! I attached a new patch with them placed in project.el. Also cc'd Dmitry so he can chime in. Maybe we should do it more customizable?

This should be:

map)

(define-key ctl-x-map "p" project-prefix-map)
See the end of (info "(elisp) Tips for Defining").
Maybe it should also be autoloaded.

Below is another patch with your suggestions incorporated. Is it correct to also autoload the (define-key ctl-x-map "p" project-prefix-map)?

I'm not an autoload expert, so I'd appreciate if someone else chimed in,
but according to the commentary in lisp/bookmark.el,
;;;###autoload (define-key ...)
is preferable to
;;;###autoload
(define-key ...)
since the former is copied to lisp/ldefs-boot.el at build time and
skipped at load time (since it's in a comment), so it doesn't override
existing user settings. Would that do what we want?
Thanks,

What do you mean by "optional"? It's in Emacs 28.
How is it different from the aforementioned tabs?

Let's step back, maybe.
From multiple discussions, over a certain period of time, mostly here
in emacs-devel, I have arrived at an impression that there exists a
general desire to have global bindings for project functions, in
"default" Emacs, without customization.
And that the 'C-x p' prefix is both unoccupied and looks logical to use
for that purpose.
What do you think about that?
As an aside, I'd like to do a similar thing for Flymake, with
Flycheck-inspired prefix of 'C-c !' a bit later.

I think your choice of keys is better than in project-switch-commands.
Maybe these keys should be copied to project-switch-commands, so it will to be
in sync with project-prefix-map?
Or is it possible to use project-prefix-map directly in project-switch-commands?
For example, by using set-transient-map?

I'll make sure to keep them compatible in the default setup.

We discussed that with Simen in private previously. The current
implementation is "visual", which is good for discoverability.
I think that kind of limits us, however, to showing only the most
"essential" commands (think: ones that the user is most likely to use
right after switching to a different project), and not the whole set.
Or else people will spend more time searching for the key they need to
press. And they won't use most of the entries in the list anyway.
For that reason also, I just removed the project-shell entry from that
list because we haven't reached to solid conclusion WRT shell vs eshell,
and yet it was time to do a release. FWIW, I'm fine with either option,
but we probably don't need both in the list (we should be fine with
having both in project-prefix-map, however).
I also forgot to mention that in the commit message (3bff583). Sorry!

Did you really use it in project-switch-project specifically, or because
there are no global bindings for project commands yet?
Would you like to whip up a poll, on emacs-devel or Reddit, about which
of eshell or shell is more popular?
We'll put the winner on ?e in project-switch-commands, and we can put
the other one on "E" in project-prefix-map as well.

I tried implementig it, and it seems to work. The patch below isn't a
full commit, since I changed the structure of project-switch-commands
(it's now mapping command to description), but didn't update the
docstring.

I don't think I'd object, but this is orthogonal to the issue on which
I commented: where are the key bindings defined.

Okay, but... the commands in the keymap will all be autoloaded. So
whenever somebody calls them, the aforementioned optional package will
get loaded. I'm not sure what the practical issue with that is.
The issue on the other side (keeping the keymap definition in
project.el) is that it's an ELPA package as well. And so far we've said
that ELPA packages shouldn't significantly modify a user's Emacs just by
the virtue of being installed.
OTOH, if these bindings will be defined in Emacs 28, perhaps this rule
can be given exception in these two cases.

I don't see how this is related to the issue at hand. All I'm saying
is that a package, including its key bindings, shouldn't be loaded
until some of its feature is invoked. Therefore, the best place for a
package's keybindings is in the package itself. What you describe
seems to fit this principle.

We could make the keybindings autoloaded without having them defined
them when the package loads, couldn't we? By having the define-key on
the same line as the autoload cookie, like bookmark.el does.

Nice idea! Did not know about this :)
Since Eli also mentioned this, I've attached such a patch.

I think global bindings for project commands are more important
than project-switch-project specifically.

Do you want to remove this intuitive binding 's' from 'shell' command
because you want to use 's' for some other command?

Maybe project-isearch? I recall you wanted that one day.
If not, I'm fine with keeping project-shell on 's' for now.
But if reach the shortage of characters on this keymap someday, and some
unbound command would really fit that letter, I'd rather not dedicate
two different characters to shell-like functionality.

But if we autoload the bindings definition forms, wouldn't that have

Okay.

That would generally be considered problematic because the keymap would
take effect right after the user updates to the newest version of
project.el. Because package.el also compiles and evaluates autoloads.
Anyway, I'll apply this patch now, but we can continue this discussion.

project-isearch should use 'C-x p C-s' like it's used in e.g.
M-s a C-s dired-do-isearch
M-s a C-s vc-dir-isearch

I don't insist on 's' for shell. Maybe 's' is more suitable for 'project-search'.

Perhaps. As it is currently, though, I'm not in a hurry to advertise
this command because of its performance characteristics. And because it
can simply give up with "gpg: decrypt_message failed: Unexpected error".

Applied, thank you!
In the future, though, please include commit messages with the patches
(at least, as soon as you're reasonably confident the patch will be
accepted). See CONTRIBUTE for the message requirements.
Also, I'm happy to report that your assignment is now on file.

BTW, shouldn't 'C-x p v' be bound to the whole vc prefix map?
So 'C-x p v d' will run vc-dir in the project root dir,
'C-x p v =' - vc-root-diff in the project root dir,
'C-x p v v' - project's vc-next-action, etc.

That might be over-engineering it a bit.
Considering that in the vast majority of cases the VC root and the
project root are going to be the same.
So the users will get the same results from 'C-x p v =' as from 'C-x v
D', and 'C-x p v d' would usually be the same as 'C-x v d' (but having
one binding for the cases when it's different is fine, I guess).
How would 'C-x p v v' differ from 'C-x v v'?

How is this different from bookmark.el?
And if we don't want these key bindings to be available always, we
could have a separate autoloads file for project.el. Some packages do
that already.

Why is that a problem? A user who updates project.el is most
probably going to use it, right?
And if we do care about this, we could use a separate autoloads file.

The patch below fixes that, but allows changing if you only want the
listed keys to be valid (the default) or every key in
project-prefix-map.
It turned out that the transiment map approach didn't work, as it
ignored the value in default-directory, thus running all commands in
whatever the current project was.

We might not want them when the package is simply installed through ELPA.
But we'll probably always want them on by default in Emacs 28 and newer.
I'm curious what Stefan thinks about it.

Probably. But it's also a dependency of certain packages like eglot or
xref, so it's not a given that the user chose to update it intentionally.

Which the users would have to (require '...)?

[ I'm not sure if your objection is on where the bindings are located in
the source code (which could be adjusted by moving them to project.el
with an appropriate autoload cookie), or whether the bindings are
placed in the global map. I'll assume below that the problem is with
the actual bindings rather than their source location. ]
It's the case for rect.el bindings, for gud-key-prefix bindings,
bookmark bindings, a few others, tho.
[ I'd put register.el bindings in that same boat because I consider this
package just as optional (I never use it), tho it's admittedly
preloaded ]
The question is whether project.el is special enough to warrant changing
the default global map.
If not, then the only other sane way is to link them to a minor mode
and only activate the bindings when that minor mode is enabled.
My own take on what Emacs is mostly used for makes me feel that the
notion of project is probably important enough to justify its place in
the default keymap. But I must admit I haven't looked at the actual
bindings that are discussed, so feel free to ignore me.

I don't think it matters whether project.el is update on its own right
or as a dependency. It will be used regardless, so having its
autoloads loaded doesn't sound like a serious problem.

Do they do that with the likes of tramp-loaddefs.el?

I hope this will be the case in some not too distant future. But

There's no magic. Tramp isn't used by many users, so it tries to keep
calm. Only the absolute minimum of functions and variables are
;;;###autoloaded. Everything else, which needs to be autoloaded in Tramp
(mainly objects which are shared by different tramp-*.el files), are
autoloaded with the ";;;###tramp-autoload" cookie. A file
tramp-loaddefs.el is generated during compilation, and this file is
required once the Tramp basic file, tramp.el, is loaded. That's it.
Such a *-loaddefs.el could also contain key bindings, which are activated
once the *.loaddefs.el file is loaded. Tramp doesn't define own key bindings,
so there's no need for it in tramp-loaddefs.el.

Of course not! It is required tramp.el.

Please specify the commit(s), as "last night" is too ambiguous, and
there were a lot of commits in project.el lately. I could easily make
a mistake.

Thanks, the fixed patch is below.
Another minor change to the last patch is settign
project-switch-use-entire-map to nil, so that by default not all keys in
project-prefix-map are usable, as to avoid the potential for confusion
mentioned before.

Thank you.
So what did you mean by "in some not too distant future" and "no reason
to hurry"? Project commands are functional, and they are in the global
map, for all practical purposes.

I realized there is a question: why we need to bind project-switch-project
to 'C-x p p'?
For example, why we need to duplicate such key sequences:
'C-x p d' - project dired without dispatch prompt
'C-x p p d' - the same with dispatch prompt
Couldn't 'C-x p' display the same dispatch prompt (that actually is
just an echo-area hint) after a short delay?

It's not the same. It asks you to select a _different_ project.

Sounds like which-key-mode. But it would dispatch on commands for the
current project. Not a different one.

Actually my question would be better formulated like this:
Should we reserve the key 'C-x p v' as a prefix map for possible future
extensions when such need to add more vc keys will arise?
Currently I see no such need, but who knows.

I'd rather keep it as is. And if such actual need arises, we can change
the binding for project-vc-dir. It already "reserves" it, in a way. :-)

Oh, I forgot it's about switching projects.
I'm not sure how frequently this key will be used.
If not often, then better to use easier-to-type 'C-x p p'
for other more frequent commands, such as using it as
a prefix for any command to run in the project root dir,
for example, 'C-x p p M-! git pull' will run git commands
in the project root dir.

I think it's rather handy. Some actual usage data would be good, but
we're unlikely to get that with any accuracy.

If you like to implement such a prefix command, please go ahead.
Either way, 'C-x p P' is free.

I'm glad to see project.el being actively worked on, but IMO it has
yet some turf to cover before it becomes useful enough for us to think
about preloading it.

Looks good to me too!
My only gripe would be that it makes it a bit harder to add new
commands, since it now requires modifying both project-switch-commands
and project-prefix-map. Maybe we could reintroduce the helper function
we had for that purpose earlier.
-(defvar project-switch-commands
- '((?f "Find file" project-find-file)
- (?g "Find regexp" project-find-regexp)
- (?d "Dired" project-dired)
- (?v "VC-Dir" project-vc-dir)
- (?e "Eshell" project-eshell))
- "Alist mapping keys to project switching menu entries.
+(defcustom project-switch-commands
+ '((project-find-file . "Find file")
+ (project-find-regexp . "Find regexp")
+ (project-dired . "Dired")
+ (project-vc-dir . "VC-Dir")
+ (project-shell . "Shell")
+ (project-eshell . "Eshell"))
The project-shell command is added here, don't know if that was
intentional?
Also why not stick with the easier extensible list format? I could
imagine for instance adding long descriptions as an optimal third
element for the commands later on.

As in for developers, when they want to contribute a new project-*
function or users who want to just change stuff (I know the line might
be blury)?

I missed when this happened. In what commit was it removed, or was it

No, this must have been a local git mistake.

The main reason I changed it was so that the alist was recognized as an
alist in customize, but I agree that changing this would be good for
forwards compatibility.

Sorry, yes, it was just a patch. Maybe it could look something like
this:

(define-key project-prefix-map key command)
(add-to-list 'project-switch-commands (list command label) t))

Not sure the above will change things too much. It's a function, not a
Customize interface (which could be added for the current format of
project-switch-commands), and its valid values would have to be
documented and understood by the user anyway. We could as well put its
body in the documentation as customization instructions.
Now, I think the current setup is pretty good already. The extra
capability that the patch brings will be the ability to turn on
project-switch-use-entire-map in their local configs.
Are there people here who intend to do that?

So now we finally have a key sequence 'C-x p v' with the same length
as 'C-x v d' but that doesn't require confirmation by RET? Nice.

Indeed. It can fail with non-default project backends, but we'll get

I hope no-one will object if I ping to ask about the status of this
patch -- is it likely to get applied soon?
Over in #42210 I'm looking to add a project-other-place-commands
defcustom following the lead of this patch, and I'll need to generalise
project--keymap-prompt a bit, so I'd prefer to see this patch committed
before working on that, if that's possible.

You can post the patch you are working on, even if it depends on this one.
But why project--keymap-prompt, though? I thought you were going to do
something that would look like a "normal" prefix keymap. They don't prompt.

Over in the other bug I received feedback from Juri which I understood
as saying that only a patch using the prompting approach would be likely
to be merged, so I've been working on that. Sounds like things are more
undecided than I thought?
I myself am mostly neutral between the standard prefix and prompting
approaches. Since I'm waiting on assign <at> gnu.org anyway, maybe it would
be best to wait a bit longer on this discussion.

There's no decision indeed. I'd like to know what people think, and if
there's no strong opinion, how the proposal would look in practice.
So unless you're strapped for time, a prototype patch would help.
But we can of course first ask Juri what UI did he mean exactly in his
feedback.
Juri, could you clarify?

Sorry for the confusion. Actually I referred to the patch that sets
the transient map. The fact that it also displays a prompt is a minor detail,
not needed for your patch.
The patch that I referred to was posted by Philip in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/41890#50 This patch uses
set-transient-map to set project-prefix-map,
and the prompt is displayed by ‘message’.
But later Philip sent another patch in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/41890#100
that doesn't use set-transient-map
for the reasons that I don't understand.
Providing the explanation Philip said:
It turned out that the transient map approach didn't work, as it
ignored the value in default-directory, thus running all commands in
whatever the current project was.
Maybe the same function can set default-directory
to solve the problem to be able to use set-transient-map?

I think I can explain that: you can set the transient map to handle the
next command, but you can let-bind a variable to only have the binding
have the effect during the next command.
And you can't exactly setq that value either, or else it would overwrite
the buffer-local default-directory value in the current buffer.

project-switch-project could set a new global variable
project-default-directory and project commands could use it.

Is there something wrong with the second approach?
I'd have to try it out myself, but getting a global variable could
introduce a double-state situation where when I switch to a project
using C-x p p, open another on and then manually switch back to the
first one (C-x b), that the global variable project-switch-project would
still indicate that the second project is "open".
As I said, I haven't tried anything out, and maybe the issue doesn't
exist or is circumventable (eg. by having every function reset the
global value after using it), but is that really worth it just to use a
transient map? Or did I miss something?

I think it's fine.
Juri's suggestion could work as well, but it sounds like it would
require more fiddly management of the new global variable.

I'm missing the context, what exactly is the issue? Or what part of this
patch would Sean want to depend on? I hope I understand correctly that
this is the patch that should merge C-x 4 4 C-x p f into C-x 4 p f?

A new variable could introduce a new notion of "the current project".
This implies that some commands used in other buffers will be applied
to the currently active project.
This is similar to the notion of next-error-last-buffer -
the most recent buffer for next-error commands.
I don't know if a real need exists for such thing,
so please leave project-switch-project without a
transient map if it already works well.

I'd get a "last active project" variable, as in a fallback when the
project cannot be determined after switching buffer or opening new
files. But when I hear current project, I'd assume you would have to
manually change, which would turn project.el from a tool that assists
your workflow to one that dictates it.

So we're talking about a "last active project"?

Fine by me, I'm just asking in case there's a need to update the patch.

BTW, a question for related discussion: should next-error-find-buffer-function
provide an option to support project-local value of next-error-find-buffer?
So calling ‘next-error’ on the current project's files will use the last
next-error buffer belonging to the same project.

Or maybe "the most recently used project" if put in other words.

Related to this, it might also be worth considering a project-local xref
stack. If I don't clear the stack before switching between projects (or
even just my scratch buffer), I can easily get surprised by landing
somewhere I didn't expect.

Interesting thought.
We can make the xref stack storage pluggable. One or two user options
should do the trick.
Personally, I've been using window-local locations history (via a
third-party package), that can become another value of said options.

Yes, that one.
Juri suggested that I try to make C-x 4 p work like C-x p p, so my patch
is probably going to need to generalise some of the code which powers
C-x p p, but it seems there is some disagreement right now about how C-x
p p is going to work.

Okay, here's a prototype. I had to rebase Philip's patch so I thought I
might as well attach my version of that too.
I have been wanting the new C-x 4 p bindings all week as C-x p f with
fido-mode has replaced a lot of my use of C-x C-f, so I hope I can
replace my use of C-x 4 f with C-x 4 p f soon :)

The code LGTM, but I still wonder whether we do need the prompt in this
case. The downsides are that we'll need to keep the list up-to-date, and
at some point (maybe) it will grow too big to fit in the prompt. Will we
need a variable project-other-place-use-entire-map too?
Juri, did you have this particular approach in mind, or something different?

Indeed, this approach. I think it's a step forward. Actually two steps forward.
Both patches improve this part of project functionality greatly.
Regarding project-other-place-use-entire-map, I don't know, first need
to try using new commands for some time to see what's missing.
Currently to open a new project in a new tab I have to type:
‘C-x t t C-x p p’ then a project dir and some key e.g. ‘v’.
When Sean will turn the prototype into the final patch,
then the key sequence will be much shorter:
‘C-x t p v’.

OK then, here's a question:
Should project-other-place-commands include an entry for
project-or-external-find-file?

Also, GNU standards frown on using "legal" when you actually mean
"valid". "Legal" and "illegal" should be reserved to describing
issues pertaining to laws and breaking the laws.

If all one has in mind is C-x 4, then it doesn't seem like this is a big
danger -- many commands display in the other window by default, such as
project-find-regexp, and it reasonable to guess that a good proportion
of new commands which get added will also be like this.
However, if you have C-x 5 and C-x t in mind as well, then it starts to
seem like we'll want project-other-place-use-entire-map.
How about having a project-other-window-commands defcustom for C-x 4 p,
and using the entirety of project-prefix-map for C-x 5 p and C-x t t?
C-x 4 p can prompt as per my patch, and C-x 5 p and C-x t t could just
put a static message in the minibuffer like other-frame-prefix and
other-tab-prefix do at present.

I intended to say a bit more: C-x p f has replaced a lot of my use of
C-x b too. It is very nice not to have to guess whether something is
already visited and just complete across all the project's files. I use
C-x 4 b a lot so I'm looking forward to C-x 4 p f.

Currently there are separate key sequences ‘C-x p’ and ‘C-x p p’
followed by almost the same list of possibles suffixes, where e.g.
‘C-x p f’ visits a file of the current project, whereas ‘C-x p p f’
prompts for another project and visits its file.
Should the same distinction be preserved in other-place commands?
Then ‘C-x 4 p f’ will visit a file of the current project in another
window, whereas ‘C-x 4 p p f’ will prompt for another project and visit
its file in another window. The same distinction could apply also to
‘C-x 5 p f’ / ‘C-x 5 p p f’ and ‘C-x t p f’ / ‘C-x t p p f’.

I don't see why someone might want to use such commands as
project-or-external-find-file or project-or-external-find-regexp.
These commands operate on some obscure directories
(copied from the output of '(project-external-roots (project-current t))'):
"/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/"
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/autoconf/"
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gtk-doc-tools/"
...
I don't know why the user might want to find files or search in such
non-project directories as /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gtk-doc-tools/.

Apparently these directories are in your load-path.
I think it makes sense to search for files across your load path sometimes.
Or if you have multiple tag files loaded, it would search across
directories containing those files.
And that's just with the built-in backend. Other projects can have other
examples of what constitutes external roots.

Yes, I think so, but I'm not sure how that directly addresses the
suggestion of mine you quote.

Just to clarify: are you proposing this because you really like how the
prompt works, yet can't find a good way to incorporate it for the two
other prefixes?

Right! That mirrors my experience: it's often handy to just search
across the project files because you're guaranteed to find the needed
file, and because there is no ambiguity caused by having only the base
name available.
One can also "guess" the eventual file name based on the partial matches
in its name and in its parent directories' names.

I wouldn't say that I really like the prompt, but it could be useful to
someone to see the bindings available to them, when we're sure it's
going to fit.
I do think we should avoid binding commands under C-x 4 where the
versions under C-x p would already display in another window -- I think
it is potentially quite confusing to have bindings with identical
behaviour under both C-x 4 p and C-x p.
But that means we need the defcustom, because a user could use
display-buffer-alist to change which commands under C-x p will use
another window.

While the prompt is active, the key '?' and 'C-h' could (and I think should)
display a list of *ALL* available key bindings from the project keymap
in the *Help* buffer (like e.g. 'query-replace' does after typing 'C-h').

Shouldn't some key sequence force displaying the project buffer in the
same window (when a version under C-x p displays it in another window)?

I now understand that your top message above implies that a user
could customize display-buffer-alist to display a buffer in another window,
but usually users don't customize display-buffer-alist to display a buffer
in another frame/tab?

That's a valid benefit.
There is also a package called 'which-key', but I think it's
incompatible with the implementation strategy here.

If we're using the prompt, it shows all allowed bindings already.

At the moment, there's none.

Either way, I think the concern that someone could type 'C-x p 4 g' and
see that the search results are *still* displayed in another window
(gasp), is not too significant.
Like, there's no other behavior that should result from key sequence,
and if someone wanted to make doubly sure the resulting buffer will be
displayed in the other window, why not let them.

What would determine which of the bindings get shown in the prompt,
then, supposing there were too many to fit them all?

It's hard to know what key sequence to use.

I exclusively use it to display buffers in other windows :)

I think it could be a barrier to learning how to use project.el -- it's
weird for the same thing to be bound to two places, so the user might
think they've misunderstood something when they see it happen.

This makes sense, and would be useful, so probably overrides my worry
about it being harder to learn. So, shall I prepare a new patch which
just uses the whole prefix map and drops the defcustom?

Hmm, a further complication: I would like to be able to bind C-x 4 p C-o
to work like C-x 4 C-o.
I think this could be achieved by having an additional keymap, and the
command bound to C-x 4 p can look up keys in both project-prefix-map and
this new keymap.

Maybe it's possible to show all them by using 'read-char-choice' when only
the initial letters are displayed in the prompt like "(f, g, d, v, s, ?): "
or using 'read-answer' or 'read-multiple-choice', e.g.:
(read-multiple-choice "Select project"
'((?f "Find file")
(?g "Find regexp")
(?d "dired")
(?v "vc-dir")
(?s "shell")))

Indeed, it's hard to find a key prefix analogous to 'C-x 4 1'.
Maybe 'C-x 4 1 p'?

If we're only displaying single letters, then I'm not sure there is much
point in prompting at all? Either someone knows what letter to press or
they don't -- in either case the prompt seems useless.

I'd be cautious about this, because it breaks the general semantics of
C-x 4 1. It seems reasonable that someone might have a major-mode in
which 'p' displays another buffer, and then they might want to use C-x 4
1 to reuse the same window.

Since we're struggling between the choices, and you don't feel a strong
attachment to the prompt either, yes, please.
Then we can install it and maybe continue the discussion of an optional
patch which will add the prompt on top of it.

Yup. The new keymap could inherit from project-prefix-map, then the
lookup should be just one funcall.

In the end I didn't use inheritance; hopefully it is clear from the
patch why I thought this would not be a good idea.

This interface strikes me as unusual and even unexpected for a command
that switches to another buffer. I would expect it to have an API
similar to that of switch-to-buffer: that it should accept the buffer
to switch to as an argument, and set up that argument in the
'interactive' spec according to the preferences of this command
(offering buffers in the same project etc.). The API you propose
makes it awkward, to say the least, to invoke this command from Lisp.
Granted, the original API doesn't allow such invocation, either, but
as long as we are changing this API, let's try fixing that, okay?

This doesn't say where that buffer will be displayed. Please add that
important detail to the doc string.

The "preferably" part needs to be explained some more, perhaps by
pointing to display-buffer-other-frame for the details. Otherwise it
leaves some of the command's MO a mystery.

Do you mean "commands _that_ display in other windows"? If so, please
use "that" instead of "to". Also, I think the doc string should
explain what do those commands display in those other windows.

Same here.

Comma is missing there.
More importantly, the "its" part is ambiguous. What does it allude
to?

Same here.

Same here, except that in this case even the idea of "displaying in a
tab" is unclear. This needs rewording.

I added the argument just so I could reuse the code in
project-switch-to-buffer, so a simple alternative for the purposes of my
patch would be to factor that code out into a new
project--select-project-buffer defun. Then no existing APIs would be
changed.
Would that be sufficient?
> Granted, the original API doesn't allow such invocation, either, but

This is a bit tricky actually -- what should the function do if some
Lisp code passes it a buffer which is not part of the current project?
Throw an error? But then surely the Lisp code would prefer to just
check if the buffer is part of the project itself, and use
switch-to-buffer.
I'd be grateful if you could say more about the sort of Lisp code you
have in mind. I'm struggling to imagine wanting to call this function
from Lisp except via call-interactively.

What you added is not my problem, my problem is that there's no easy
way of calling this function from Lisp.

Just switch to that buffer, I think.

These are good patches, working well.
But here's a change on top of yours that simplified things a little, and
makes a few things unnecessary (I think). All by using the variable
called switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions.
What do you and others think?
I'll easily admit to being out of my depth when it comes to window
management, so if there are reasons to go with the full-on approach, no
objections from me.

I don't think this is going to work, for two reasons:
- for consistency with the existing C-x 4 C-o binding, C-x 4 p C-o
should be bound to project-display-buffer, but C-x p C-o should not,
so we cannot add the C-o binding to project-prefix-map, so another map
is needed
- I suspect that by relying on switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions,
when you use project-display-buffer the other window will end up
selected, which is not meant to happen.

Right, it's really complicated, so I wrote the patch as conservatively
as possible.

Fair enough, thank you.
I'll wait a day or two for the others to have a chance to leave some

This doc string should mention display-buffer, for the same reasons
and with the same surrounding test as how

Thank you, fixed, along with fixing some references to function
arguments which were incorrect in the previous series (they were
'buffer-or-name' in one place but 'buffer' in another).
