Re: [ELPA] New package: beacon

[Kaushal Modi]

​I have one more optimization request:

If the same buffer is shown in multiple windows, the beacon "leaks" in all those windows.

It would be nice to have a customization option like hl-line-sticky-flag​ (from the hl-line package) such that the beacon is shown only in the active window.

That worked!

beacon--ov-put-after-string, between the two calls to `overlay-put'
    (overlay-put overlay 'priority most-positive-fixnum)

​I commented out the fci-mode hacks, did the above and re-evalled.. this works even better! Thanks!​

I didn't quite understand why setting the beacon overlay priority to the max worked.. Was it that earlier the fci-mode overlays were fighting to get displayed inbetween the beacon overlay displays?

You can try reenabling it at the end of beacon--vanish.
But here's another idea: try adding this line inside
beacon--ov-put-after-string, between the two calls to `overlay-put'
