I have the following, which works: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq display-buffer-alist '(("^\\*Async Shell Command*" . (display-buffer-no-window)) ("some regexp that works fine" (display-buffer-in-side-window) (window-width . 0.28) (side . left) (slot . 0)))) #+end_src I have two monitors, one in landscape for which the above is ideal, although I do not quite understand it. I got it from somewhere on the Interweb... In any case, my other monitor is portrait and I would rather set the width and the side to be bottom for windows on that monitor. Is it possible to have a conditional of some sort in the list of conses, one where I would look at the frame width and height? (I use exwm, by the way.)
