Documentation

Alist of parameters for special frames.

Special frames are used for buffers whose names are listed in special-display-buffer-names and for buffers whose names match one of the regular expressions in special-display-regexps.

This variable can be set in your init file, like this:

  (setq special-display-frame-alist '((width . 80) (height . 20)))

These supersede the values given in default-frame-alist.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.24.
