Now that I have lots of frame space, I find it annoying w= hen functions like (describe-function) split the frame I am on. I am wonder= ing if it is possible to change something so that functions like that inste= ad display the buffer in a different frame. Looking for someplace to start, I dove down into `describe-function' source= code and eventually found myself trying to hack temp-buffer-window-show, s= o that its display-buffer call got passed another frame, i.e., from `get-ot= her-frame'. Aside from thinking there must be some simpler solution, I also= couldn't get this to work consistently. It worked on the first call to des= cribe-function but not after that. I also looked a bit into override temp-buffer-show-function but changing th= is variable didn't seem to have any effect. --=20 =F0=9F=93=9B Christopher Howard =F0=9F=9A=80 gemini://gem.librehacker.com =F0=9F=8C=90 http://gem.librehacker.com =D7=91=D7=A8=D7=90=D7=A9=D7=99=D7=AA =D7=91=D7=A8=D7=90 =D7=90=D7=9C=D7=94= =D7=99=D7=9D =D7=90=D7=AA =D7=94=D7=A9=D7=9E=D7=99=D7=9D =D7=95=D7=90=D7=AA= =D7=94=D7=90=D7=A8=D7=A5
