I got it from somewhere on the > Interweb... IIRC (my memory is fuzzy, and I'm only to blame for the design of this monster ;-) you can do: (setq display-buffer-alist '(("^\\*Async Shell Command*" . (display-buffer-no-window)) ("some regexp that works fine" my-tall-display-buffer-in-side-window (window-width . ) (side . bottom) (slot . 0)) ("some regexp that works fine" display-buffer-in-side-window (window-width . 0.28) (side . left) (slot . 0)))) (defun my-tall-display-buffer-in-side-window (&rest args) (when (my-current-monitor-is-tall) (apply #'display-buffer-in-side-window args))) So the middle entry is only used when `my-current-monitor-is-tall` returns non-nil. An alternative would be something like: (setq display-buffer-alist '(("^\\*Async Shell Command*" . (display-buffer-no-window)) ("some regexp that works fine" my-display-buffer-in-side-window (if-tall ((window-width . ) (side . bottom)) ((window-width . 0.28) (side . left))) (slot . 0)))) (defun my-display-buffer-in-side-window (buf alist) (display-buffer-in-side-window buf (append (nth (if (my-current-monitor-is-tall) 1 2) (assq 'if-tall alist)) alist))) -- Stefan
