[emacs] retain window configuration for nav-mode?

Question

I often have my emacs frame split vertically so that I have R or Python running in the lower window and a script open in the upper window. When I invoke nav-mode, this configuration is lost. I wonder if there is an easy fix to have nav-mode retain this vertical-split configuration when it opens its own window to the left.

Answer 1

AFAIK - there is not. Nav always kills all open windows, but the current one - this was design decision. And there is no way to alter it, other than altering the nav code itself(which is not that hard).
