However, commands such as e.g. 'man' might change the buffer in that window. Is there a way to dedicate a window to a particular buffer so that that window becomes invisible to commands that request a window for showing output? calculator is another such example where I obviously dont want the man page to show up in the tiny window created by the calculator command.
