Don't close other windows in Emacs mode

[c02y]

When you active live-by-plugin, it will close all other windows except python buffer window and leaves only the two windows.

Please don't close other windows, just split the current python buffer window into two windows (python buffer window and live-by-plugin side-by-side).

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can figure out how to do that, unless @brandm volunteers his Emacs expertise.

I will probably not spend time on it, at least not soon, but would like to suggest a customization variable like live-py-preserve-other-windows. Nil would mean the current behavior with delete-other-windows which is useful too, non-nil would do something with delete-window and live-py-source-last-active-window and/or (get-buffer-window live-py-trace-name) or whatever.

As a partial workaround the Python buffer can be moved into an own frame with C-x 5 2.

Thanks for the hints, @brandm. I'll see what I can do.
