[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I don't know whether I missed something but I can't find a hook like
select-window-hook in stand
hooks<http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Standard-Hooks.html>,
and I find some other emacs user has the same issue.

I really want to have a function as select-last-window for emacs, by now, I
hack it in a ugly way, and I think select-window-hook can make it better.

Thanks.

Try

(defvar my-window nil)
(defvar my-last-window nil)

(defun my-last-window ()
  (unless (or (window-minibuffer-p)
	      (eq (selected-window) my-window))
    (setq my-last-window my-window)
    (setq my-window (selected-window))))

(add-hook 'buffer-list-update-hook 'my-last-window)

(defun select-last-window ()
  (interactive)
  (when (and (window-live-p my-last-window)
	     (not (eq my-last-window (selected-window))))
    (select-window my-last-window)))

Emacs now provides a hook called 'window-selection-change-functions'
which should fix your problem.  Please have a look.

Thanks, martin
