Klick on the buffer you want, press RET, and the buffer appears in the active frame of Emacs. I found this most convenient if you work with a lot of buffers and often want to switch between them. A few days ago, I replaced the normal speedbar by sr-speedbar, which I prefer in priciple (no separate frame, easier to change position). However, it seems that I cannot use it the way I was used to. If, in the buffer mode, I klick on a particular buffer and press RET, then the buffer does not open, but generates the error message "Cannot switch buffers in a dedicated window." Apparently, Emacs tries to switch the buffer in the speedbar window itself (which, as far as I can see, is the only "dedicated" one). I would have expected the buffer to be opened in (one of) the normal Emacs frame(s). Is this a bug or a feature that I do not understand? -- Any suggestions for a fix? Stefan -- Den Haag, Netherlands
