Feb 1, 2019 at 19:02 comment added Drew Yeah, sure, go ahead and use display-buffer-alist (overkill) instead, if you're a masochist. ;-) I don't consider them to be obsolete - that deprecation is misguided, IMHO. And thank goodness they are still supported. If they do what you want, I say go for it - simpler is better. If, in some complex corner situation, they don't seem to do what you want, go for display-buffer-alist if you want. (They're sufficient for me, but what do I know?) Special-display is a simple, useful feature. Its goal is not the same as the much more general (and complex) display-buffer-alist.
Feb 1, 2019 at 12:04 comment added SabreWolfy Help for the two special-display- variables indicates that they are obsolete since 24.3; use ‘display-buffer-alist’ instead.
