When redisplaying the current window, Hemlock makes sure the current point is visible. This is the behavior you see when you are entering text near the bottom of the window, and suddenly redisplay shifts your position to the window’s center.
Some buffers receive input from streams and other processes, and you might have windows displaying these. However, if those windows are not the current window, the output will run off the bottom of the windows, and you won’t be able to see the output as it appears in the buffers. You can change to a window in which you want to track output and invoke the following command to remedy this situation.
This command makes the current window track the buffer’s point. This means that each time Hemlock redisplays, it will make sure the buffer’s point is visible in the window. This is useful for windows that are not current and that display buffer’s that receive output from streams coming from other processes.
