In a 2 window setup, is there a way to make all temporary popup buffers (help, compile, occur, etc) always open in a specific window?
For example, I have a left and right window. I do most of my work in the left window. When I lookup something in help it opens in the right window which is what I want.
But let’s say I’m in the right window already and look up help, it will open in the left window. Is there a way to make it always open in the right?

to your liking. There is an Emacs manual section devoted to it as well as several online tutorials.Not sure your definition of easy, but this kind of setup (and much more) is certainly possible: https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/demystifying-emacs-window-manager
