In a 2 window setup, is there a way to make all temporary popup buffers (help, compile, occur, etc) always open in a specific window?
For example, I have a left and right window. I do most of my work in the left window. When I lookup something in help it opens in the right window which is what I want.
But let’s say I’m in the right window already and look up help, it will open in the left window. Is there a way to make it always open in the right?
Not sure your definition of easy, but this kind of setup (and much more) is certainly possible: https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/demystifying-emacs-window-manager
