Hi
I'd like to have dedicated emacs frames for special buffers.
Let's say all *info* and help buffers always opening in a special
"Help" frame with predefined geometry.
Switching to these buffers should also raise these frames.
Think of how other Applications show helpcontent on F1, they raise
another (X-) window.
I was trying
(setq special-display-buffer-names
'("*info*"))
but without success...
Thanks for any help
Rolf

Hi Rolf,
On Xemacs, it is
(setq special-display-buffer-names
'(
( "buffer-name-1" (variable-1a . 'value1a) (variable-1b . 'value1b) )
( "buffer-name-2" (variable-2a . 'value1a) (variable-2b . 'value2b) )
)
)
should be the same for GNU emacs.

C-h v special-display-buffer-names
If this variable appears "not to work", because you added a name to
it but the corresponding buffer is displayed in the selected window,
look at the values of `same-window-buffer-names' and
`same-window-regexps'. Those variables take precedence over this one.

Thanks deleting the "info" regexp in `same-window-regexps' helped. 8)
BTW: I read the "C-h v" description of all these variables yesterday
more than once but was confused what "same" has to mean.
Now I know It's not the "same" window where "*info*" was already
displayed but the "actual" window from where the command is invoked...

I do exactly that: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OneOnOneEmacs.
If you don't like exactly the same thing out-of-the-box, looking at the code
might nevertheless help you get what you want.
