I am using Aquamacs 3.3 GNU Emacs 25.1.1 and Dired+. Sometimes the key sequence C-x C-j opens the Dired buffer in a new frame instead of a new tab in the running frame.

I want the behaviour that the the Dired buffer is opened in a new tab always. What can I do?

  • Did you really mean **tab**, or did you mean Emacs *window*? I edited it to say the latter, but please change it back if I was wrong. (You wrote "window" where you apparently meant "frame" - I changed that too.) – Drew May 03 '18 at 15:48
  • Perhaps what you see comes from Aquamacs. Dired+ just leaves `C-x C-j` bound to `dired-jump`, which does not open either a new frame or a new window. – Drew May 03 '18 at 15:51

    FYI -- for anyone who is curious about Aquamacs v. Emacs as to the tabbar library: Aquamacs is distributed with a built-in version of tabbar with some modifications to said library. The generic/vanilla version of Emacs does not ship with Emacs. Here is a link to various tabbar configurations for the generic/vanilla version of Emacs: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/10081/browser-style-tabs-for-emacs The following link to marmalade contains installation instructions: https://marmalade-repo.org/ – lawlist May 03 '18 at 15:51

I found the reason for the behaviour myself. It is not a dired problem. Aquamacs has the Options menu where you can select "Show buffers in new frames" what was set accidentally.
