Monkey patch and restore builtin set-window-dedicated-p during advice

I would like to make set-window-dedicated-p a NOP when called from xref--show-pos-in-buf. Below is an attempt to do so using advice. It doesn't work, I think because fset is not really copying the original function definition, just pointing things…

How to prevent emacs from popping up with new frames in response to dedicated windows? I would much rather it split the existing window

I've recently started using dedicated windows because I have certain windows (a python interpreter, sometimes a PDF of a LaTeX document), that I do not want obstructed under any circumstances. This mostly works great, except sometimes, I run a…

How can I make a window always show the same file buffer?

How can I force Emacs to keep a certain file in a particular window? For example, if I am editing a LaTeX file and there is a compile error, I want to inspect the error in another window. I essentially want to "freeze" a file in a window until I…

Aquamacs: Display *Occur* in current frame

I use split-frame (split-window-right in setup) for most things but would like Emacs to open some file types (specifically PDF files) in a new frame when using find-file. Other files (for example .org files) should be opened in split-frame as…

Can eldoc display in a dedicated window?

Currently eldoc pops up a window, mostly it's fine but with large docs it gets intrusive & jarring to loose so much screen space. Is there a way to have eldoc use it's own dedicated window? (which could be empty or closed when not in use?)

Provide hint about which windows for a function to use?

I like follow-mode which I have recently discovered. But I would like to avoid completely losing my window setup within a frame. Is there a way to label a window as usable by a function?

Magit reuse same window for different project when switching window

I'm a new user of magit and I'm currently using it in a separate frame with a single window (magit-status). I'd like that to show the git status of the project of the latest visited buffer. Imagine that in another frame I have two windows with two…
