Is that (a) special for the buffer list, or (b) do you want emacs never to split vertically? In case (b), add (setq split-width-threshold nil) to your ~/.emacs. In case (b), you can use an advice around buffer-list. (defadvice list-buffers (around forbid-horizontal-split activate) (let ((split-width-threshold nil)) ad-do-it)) Bye, Tassilo
