How to Edit
- Correct minor typos or mistakes

How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. org-mode), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
display-buffer-pop-up-frame: gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/… Another idea idea would be to issue amake-framewhile usingdisplay-bufferwith a custom function to target that new frame. If you are interested in locating and targeting an existing frame, then take a look at this example: stackoverflow.com/questions/18346785/…display-buffer-pop-up-frame, since it is quite close to what I seek. But... the frame pops up in another place (not my current frame), and I must dispatch it with cmd-w, not "q" in help-style. Saving / restoring window configs is not the underlying problem. Currently I'm leaning toward cloning and modifying the source of with-help-window to give it an option that I can let-bind, or wrap with with a defmacro or something. I smile at how picky we emacs people are at wanting exactly what we want from Emacs.help-return-method,quit-window, thequit-restorewindow parameter, and probably some custom code to set/use all those things to create the desired effect.
