window setup that works with org-agenda

Hi! 

I use both org mode and org-roam. 

org-roam opens a right-hand side window that displays backlinks. 

When I run org-agenda, the right window is closed automatically. 

I would like to receive tips regarding how to permanently set up the
window layout that I have on my mind. The layout has three windows. 

The right window, *c*, displays the backlinks from org-roam. The rest of
the space is divided in half, which I call them as the window *a* and
the window *b*. 

|-----------------------------| 

|          a             |       | 

|----------------------|   c  | 

|          b             |       | 

|-----------------------------| 

When org-agenda displays agendas, it will not close *c* and it will not
resize *b*. It will display the agendas in the window *b*. 

Cheers, 

Xianwen

Have a look at this variable which may provide what you want:

,----[ C-h v org-agenda-window-setup RET ]
| org-agenda-window-setup is a variable defined in ‘org-agenda.el’.
| Its value is ‘other-frame’
| Original value was ‘reorganize-frame’
| 
|   You can customize this variable.
| 
| Documentation:
| How the agenda buffer should be displayed.
| Possible values for this option are:
| 
| current-window    Show agenda in the current window, keeping all other windows.
| other-window      Use ‘switch-to-buffer-other-window’ to display agenda.
| only-window       Show agenda, deleting all other windows.
| reorganize-frame  Show only two windows on the current frame, the current
|                   window and the agenda.
| other-frame       Use ‘switch-to-buffer-other-frame’ to display agenda.
|                   Also, when exiting the agenda, kill that frame.
| See also the variable ‘org-agenda-restore-windows-after-quit’.
`----

I have a new frame popup when I ask for an agenda view, leaving the
window setup for the original frame untouched.

Dear Professor Fraga, 

Thank you very much! I set in ~/.emacs that 

(setq org-agenda-window-setup "current-window") 

It works beautifully! 

Yours sincerely, 

Xianwen
