Variable: ediff-floating-control-frame

ediff-floating-control-frame is a customizable variable defined in ediff-wind.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

If non-nil, try making the control frame be floating rather than tiled.

If your X window manager makes the Ediff control frame a tiled one, set this to a non-nil value, and Emacs will try to make it floating. This only has effect on X displays.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 30.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 30.1.
