Hello guys,
I am using emacs 23.3.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.
I have 2 frames open. Now I am on frame A. When I switch to a buffer which is visible on frame B, then the frame is switched - frame B has the focus.
I feel not comfortable with this behavior (maybe because both frames are full screen). I prefer the frame is not switched - just switch the buffer to frame A.
Is there any way to avoid frame switching when do buffer switch?
Thanks in advance.
Btw, I am using ido-switch-buffer.
Regards,
Wenbo

I really don't know why it isn't a part of Emacs (but I don't have the latest release so perhaps it is now?). escreen doesn't give you side-by-side sessions, but even though I use multiple monitors I have never been tempted to use frames - escreens does everything I need. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
