I get the following in my minibuffer and I want to disable these basic help messages. Anyone know how?
Type C-x 1 to delete the help window
Type "q" in help window to restore it's previous buffer
Looks like it comes from help-window-display-message.
I found the answer here: https://superuser.com/questions/669701/emacs-disable-some-minibuffer-messages
You suppress the message with advice-add
(defun suppress-messages (old-fun &rest args)
"Suppress messages from OLD-FUN with ARGS.
https://superuser.com/questions/669701/emacs-disable-some-minibuffer-messages"
(cl-flet ((silence (&rest args1) (ignore)))
(advice-add 'message :around #'silence)
(unwind-protect
(apply old-fun args)
(advice-remove 'message #'silence))))
(advice-add 'help-window-display-message :around #'suppress-messages)
