Can emacs (current 26.2) tie buffers to display only on a particular frame?
I usually work with just one frame and its mostly because the buffers can’t read my mind on which frame I want them to be on so it takes time to put them on the frame I want and that usually makes the use of multiple frames more costly than just using one frame.
Thank you,
Perry

We have dedicated windows that can be tied to their buffers.

Actually, I believe that when Emacs chooses a window to display a
buffer, it prefers a window on a frame where that buffer was last
displayed. So to some degree Emacs does try to read your mind. It
isn't as tight as dedicated windows, of course.
