Ah, interesting. I took the more simple approach (for me): #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun esf/display-buffer-in-side-window (buffer alist) ;; (message "here we are with alist=%s" alist) ;; (message "frame width=%d height=%d" (frame-width) (frame-height)) (if (> (frame-width) 100) (display-buffer-in-side-window buffer '((window-width . 0.28) (side . left) (slot . 0))) (display-buffer-in-side-window buffer '((window-height . 0.25) (side . bottom) (slot . 0))))) (setq display-buffer-alist '(("^\\*Async Shell Command*" . (display-buffer-no-window)) ("\\*[Hh]elp\\*" . (esf/display-buffer-in-side-window)))) #+end_src (elided for clarity) Thank you all that pointed me in the right direction! -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50 & org 9.4.4 on Debian bullseye/sid
