Hey I was just thinking something similar about the *Help* buffer: I
often look up docs for functions and variables, and then end up TAB-bing
to the source file link and hitting return to see the definition.
I like that the *Help* buffer itself opens a new window, but once I've
got that new window I want the source file in question to re-use it,
rather than going back and clobbering the window I was in.
That's not quite the same thing as the OP's question, but it seems like
a close cousin. I eventually found `display-buffer-alist' (I'm on 24.3),
but the docstring for that is as confusing as any emacs docs I've ever
read. Has anyone accomplished what I'm after?
Thanks!
Eric
