Hi all,
I have a setup with multiple monitors and when using Emacs I have a frame in
each monitor.
I recently asked a question on this list and the solution was to set
(setq-default display-buffer-reuse-frames t)
so that 'next-error would not popup a new window (when the window was already
open in a new frame).
That worked great! I've recently been extending my use of basic emacs commands
to include the commands under `C-x 5 ...` (i.e. the "do in the other frame"
commands)
However, when I type `C-x 5 b` and select a buffer name, I am expecting the
buffer to be shown in the other frame. But instead, the buffer is opened in a
new frame.
It would appear that setting 'display-buffer-reuse-frames is not enough to
force re-use of existing frames and this function is popping up a new one.
Is there something else I must do to re-use frames? I note that
display-buffer-reuse-frames is deprecated, but I'm not entirely sure how to
migrate to the new world.
Best regards,
Sam
