I’d like magit-status to open full frame, ie a single window. When I hit q to exit, I’d like my previous window configuration to be restored.

What’s the best way to do this? Setting the follow var causes it to open full frame, but removes all windows except for one upon exit:

 (setq magit-display-buffer-function
  #'magit-display-buffer-fullframe-status-v1)

I can get to my previous window layout with winner-undo, but I’d like q to do the right thing in this case.

Any thoughts?

    This configuration only buries the magit buffer which may or may not be what you want, I prefer to actually kill the buffer so this is what I use instead:

    (use-package magit
    :preface (defun my/magit-kill-buffers ()
                 "Restore window configuration and kill all Magit buffers."
                 (interactive)
                 (let ((buffers (magit-mode-get-buffers)))
                     (magit-restore-window-configuration)
                     (mapc #'kill-buffer buffers)))
    :bind (:map magit-status-mode-map
                ("q" . #'my/magit-kill-buffers)
                ("C-x k" . #'my/magit-kill-buffers))
    :custom ((magit-display-buffer-function 'magit-display-buffer-same-window-except-diff-v1)
             (git-commit-summary-max-length 50)
             (magit-diff-refine-hunk t) ; show granular diffs in selected hunk.
             (magit-save-repository-buffers nil)
             (magit-define-global-key-bindings nil)))
