Variable: other-window-scroll-default

other-window-scroll-default is a variable defined in window.c.

Value

nil

Documentation

Function that provides the window to scroll by C-M-v (scroll-other-window).

The function other-window-for-scrolling first tries to use minibuffer-scroll-window and other-window-scroll-buffer. But when both are nil, then by default it uses a neighboring window. This variable is intended to get another default instead of next-window.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 29.1.
