Seems to work fine (I assume there's a missing "nil" here).

Quitting view mode iconifies the frame, which seems odd to me. This issue?

Seems to work fine.

Seems to work fine.

Yes, AFAICS.

Yes, AFAICS.

Not sure what you mean. If you mean the "type foo to quit" message, it
seems to disappear on scrolling, clicking a link, indeed any key
press. That doesn't seem like a big problem to me though.

Probably not too important. I would guess either kill the frame, or
display the other buffer, but it's not my use pattern.

Looks like it could be.
