I haven't seen any development on speedbar and dframe in many years.
Is this deprecated? Should I just use dired?
It appears that speedbar attaches to one frame at a time. This is
cumbersome when working with a large number of files in multiple
directories and multiple frames. I have to constantly close and reopen
speedbar in the current frame. I currently do this with a keyboard
macro assigned to a function key.
Please reply with recommendations:
* Should I add a timer? If speedbar's attached frame is not the
current frame then close the speedbar frame and reopen it.
* I don't know how to do the above with a hook since the focus-in-hook
is called recursively if a frame is deleted, and also because the
focus-in-hook is not called when switching frames using the keyboard
'C-x 5 o
* change speedbar and dframe to use an alist of associated frames and
attached frames?
