Should 'xref-goto-ref' widen the buffer before attempting to jump to the definition? Or should 'xref-find-definitions' not show definitions that are outside the narrowed area?The latter is pretty hard to do, so the former, I guess.It could also signal a clean error telling the user the destination is outside of the narrowed region, so the user can decide whether to widen or not (and is aware of the fact that the source of the problem is the narrowing).
True. It's also an option.I don't use narrowing, and don't understand its intended behavior, so someone else should make the choice on what is the best approach here.
