Hey all,
Somebody can explain why the code below does not work
as expected ?
(add-to-list 'same-window-regexps "\\`\\*Man.*\\*\\'")
nor
(add-to-list 'same-window-regexps "\\*Man.*\\*")
does not force display man pages with M-x man
in the same window (as expected).
I am totally annoyed to switch to *Man buffers for C-x 1 when
I working in shell mode. I found it more naturally to view
man pages in the window of the shell mode (as in Un*x shell).
Please, any workaround (solution)?

Because "M-x man" doesn't use display-buffer?

Try customizing Man-notify-method to the value `pushy'.

To my blame I was confused by same-window-regexps
and didn't tried to figure out this variable myself...
Thank you very much!
PS. Maybe it should be documented (noticed) in the documentation
here
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Force-Same-Window.html
?
Because I personally considered that the M-x man affected
by same-window-regexps as M-x shell after reading 25.4 chapter
of the doc...
