;; Implementation:
;;
;; The main method by which Follow mode aligns windows is via the
-;; function `follow-post-command-hook', which is run after each
-;; command. This "fixes up" the alignment of other windows which are
+;; function `follow-pre-redisplay-function', which is run before each
+;; redisplay. This "fixes up" the alignment of other windows which are
;; showing the same Follow mode buffer, on the same frame as the
;; selected window. It does not try to deal with buffers other than
;; the buffer of the selected frame, or windows on other frames.
