Hello guys,
I am using emacs 23.3.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.
I have 2 frames open. Now I am on frame A. When I switch to a buffer which is visible on frame B, then the frame is switched - frame B has the focus.
I feel not comfortable with this behavior (maybe because both frames are full screen). I prefer the frame is not switched - just switch the buffer to frame A.
Is there any way to avoid frame switching when do buffer switch?
Thanks in advance.
Btw, I am using ido-switch-buffer.
Regards,
Wenbo
