I am using emacs in ido-mode. When selecting a desired buffer, instead of the buffer showing up in the current window I will be taken to a separate frame and window in which the buffer is already open. Is there a way to modify (turn off) this behavior? It seems like something I expect from (pop-to-buffer) but in ido.el there is no such reference that I can find. I think it's an ido-mode "feature" because it does not happen when I start emacs with the -q option. Thanks much in advance...
ido-default-buffer-method
may be what you are looking for, it has the same possible values as ido-default-file-method
, and directs you to its help, which is:
ido-default-file-method is a variable defined in `ido.el'.
Its value is raise-frame
Documentation:
How to visit a new file when using `ido-find-file'.
Possible values:
`selected-window' Show new file in selected window
`other-window' Show new file in another window (same frame)
`display' Display file in another window without selecting to it
`other-frame' Show new file in another frame
`maybe-frame' If a file is visible in another frame, prompt to ask if you
you want to see the file in the same window of the current
frame or in the other frame
`raise-frame' If a file is visible in another frame, raise that
frame; otherwise, visit the file in the same window
