Once upon a time, Choose Window (invoked by C-x C-b
) used to always split the window vertically.
Starting from a certain Emacs version (I can't recall which one), that split is now either vertical or horizontal, depending on the containing windows aspect ratio.
Is there a way to force C-x C-b
to always split vertically?

will tell you, "C-x C-b runs the commandlist-buffers
". Even taking into account that it's paraphrasing the commands, "Choose Window" doesn't make sense as a description forlist-buffers
