If you run helm-ag
(I typically do this with helm-projectile-ag
, but I think it should be similar) and select a match, the file / buffer opens in the last used window.
My question is this: If a you already have the file / buffer open in an existing window, can you force the match to open in that window? This keeps the position of files in your frame more stable.
There's a similar question here: Open file in a specific window, but I figured this would be a common (and perhaps solved) use-case. If not, maybe I could override the action initiated on RET
to scan my existing windows and, if a window has the right buffer already open, open it there? I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it.
Thanks for any help!
