ess-switch-to-inferior-or-script-buffer when script and inferrior REPL are in different frames.

[jsilve24]

I use ess, emacs and i3. Because of the later I like to generally replace windows with frames.

Whenever I use ess-switch-to-inferior-or-script-buffer I would like it if it jumped to the iESS process in the other frame but instead it just opens a new window in the same frame as the script. Is there a way to generalize this behavior so it works across frames?

Thank you!
Justin

You should be able to customize display-buffer-alist: (info "(ess) Controlling buffer display")

I do the same as you. If you have an unconfigured display-buffer-alist, this should work:

(setq display-buffer-base-action '((display-buffer-use-some-frame
                                    display-buffer-pop-up-frame)
                                   ((reusable-frames . t))))

By the way, thanks for letting me know about this command!
