Here is the behaviour that I am used to and would like to return to. Emacs 23: C-x C-f (find-file) the file that I select opens in the current window Emacs 24: C-x C-f (find-file) the file that I select opens in another window the window that the file will open in, in emacs 24 is unpredictable, making it very difficult to organize a multiple window session. Could someone please post the setq command to get emacs 24 to behave the way I am used to. something along the lines of (setq display-buffer-alist '(??????)) all the other examples that I have seen use functions like setcar, setcdr which don't help me since my display-buffer-alist is nil.

I'm having a very hard time understanding the= =20 documentation for display-buffer-alist. =A0emacs24 behaves differently=20 than emacs23. =A0Here is the behaviour that I am used to and would like to return to.

Emacs 23:
C-x C-f =A0(find-file) =A0=A0
=
the file that I select opens in the current window


Emacs 24:
C-x C-f (find-file)
the = file that I select opens in another window

the window that the file will open in, in emacs 24=20 is unpredictable, making it very difficult to organize a multiple window session.

Could someone please post the setq comma= nd to get emacs 24 to behave the way I am used to.

something along the lines of

(= setq display-buffer-alist '(??????))

all the other examples that I have seen use functions like setcar, setcdr=20 which don't help me since my display-buffer-alist is nil. =A0


Thanks,
Paddy
