If you have <code>minibuffer-follows-selected-frame</code> set to <code>nil</code>, you can have minibuffers visible on several frames at the same time.

A command can also achieve this by binding <code>enable-recursive-minibuffers</code> to <code>t</code> in the interactive declaration (see <a href="using-interactive">Using Interactive</a>). The minibuffer command <code>next-matching-history-element</code> (normally <kbd>M-s</kbd> in the minibuffer) does the latter. </p><div class="_attribution"> + <p class="_attribution-p"> + Copyright © 1990-1996, 1998-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU GPL license.<br> + <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Recursive-Mini.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Recursive-Mini.html</a> + </p> +</div> |
