Here are my kludges to get almost-optimal pop-up-windows
behavior, gathered over years.

You want org-src-window-setup.

Basically, people who use pop-up-windows set to nil want
same window for most things except modes like org agenda and
rare completion and menu popups where you need to see the
original text.  Keys can be bound to next-buffer and
previous-.

Most people are unaware that this is an important
accessibility issue.  People who require large fonts cannot
put up with unnecessary popped-up windows.  There aren't
enough lines left.  So they have to do all this.

I hope this helps somebody.
