Currently I work with ruby and rspec. I really like the idea of having a separate frame in another monitor showing me the compilation buffer. My current setup uses a 'code' frame (in which I do actual work) and a 'test-result' frame (in which I see rspec results)
The problem is that when I try to open some compilation error or file in the 'test-result' frame, the window splits in that frame. What I would really like to do is for it to open in my 'code' frame.
I already use the option display-buffer-reuse-frames
.
I also tried to set the compilation results window dedicated
, but whenever emacs try to open a new window, a new frame would be created (which is particularly awful if you use Helm.)
Is there some easy way to achieve this ?
popwin.el
from MELPA to popup compile and help buffers which persist tillC-g
is pressed. If I need them fulltime, I just switch to them in another window. I have not thought about pinning windows because emacs doessplit-windows-sensibly
