Protesilaos Stavrou explains how to configure window rules and control buffer placement in Emacs using display-buffer-alist.
In this ~30 minute video I show how to tell Emacs where to place specific buffers. The idea is to have a set of rules that specify how you want Emacs to make use of the available space in the frame and which windows to use. You can find actual code and further links on my website.
