​Now that we have resolved this issue by utilizing
display-buffer-in-side-window, I went back to the Elisp manual to see why I
did not
find this.  I was looking for information related to preserving the display
of a window and window splitting.  That led me to
both the sections on "Preserving Window Sizes" and "Splitting Windows"
neither of which have references to the sections on
Side Windows or Atomic Windows.

The last two paragraphs in the "Displaying Buffers in Side Windows" section
are key to understanding that one would want
to use a side window when a non-splittable window is desired.  I think a
mention of that (and/or link) should be added near the
beginning of the "Splitting Windows" section.  It might save others a lot
of time.

Regards,

Bob

I have looked through the Windows sections of the Elisp manual but did not
see an option that would do this specifically, though I imagine it must be
there.

For a window, I would like to be able to mark it so it is never split.
For a major mode, I would like to say for any windows displaying buffers in
this major mode, don't split them.

Is there a simple way to program that?

Thanks,

Bob
