But in (info "(elisp) Window Parameters"), the only occurrence of window-side is in: There are additional parameters `window-atom' and `window-side'; these are reserved and should not be used by applications. What are these parameters ? The docstring of delete-other-windows has : Otherwise, if WINDOW is part of an atomic window, call this function with the root of the atomic window as its argument. If WINDOW is a non-side window, make WINDOW the only non-side window on the frame. Side windows are not deleted. If WINDOW is a side window signal an error. but I don't get it, and I'm not even sure it is related to the above parameters. I tried (progn (set-window-parameter (selected-window) 'window-side t) (delete-other-windows (selected-window))) but that doesn't signal any error. So perhaps window-side parameter isn't about side windows at all ? After a bit more of fiddling, I understand that (display-buffer-in-side-window BUFFER ALIST) is used to make the side windows, but that isn't mentionned in the elisp manual.

But in (info "(elisp) Window Parameters"), the only occurrence of window-side is in: There are additional parameters `window-atom' and `window-side'; these are reserved and should not be used by applications. What are these parameters ? The docstring of delete-other-windows has : Otherwise, if WINDOW is part of an atomic window, call this function with the root of the atomic window as its argument. If WINDOW is a non-side window, make WINDOW the only non-side window on the frame. Side windows are not deleted. If WINDOW is a side window signal an error. but I don't get it, and I'm not even sure it is related to the above parameters. I tried (progn (set-window-parameter (selected-window) 'window-side t) (delete-other-windows (selected-window))) but that doesn't signal any error. So perhaps window-side parameter isn't about side windows at all ? After a bit more of fiddling, I understand that (display-buffer-in-side-window BUFFER ALIST) is used to make the side windows, but that isn't mentionned in the elisp manual.
