org-edit-src-code window setup

[Michael Bach]

Dear org-mode Developers and Users,

(Org-mode version 8.2.5g from git)

I want to change the behaviour of C-c ' when inside a source block.
What I am after is best described in a schematic:

+---------------+---------------+
|		|		|
|		|	2	|		 	
|		|		|
|		|		|
+	1	+---------------+
|		|		|
|		|	3	|
|		|		|
|		|		|
+---------------+---------------+

I am editing the .org file in window 1 ('org').  I want C-c ' to display
the code block contents in window 2 ('source').  In window 3 I want to
have the interpreter for the language I am editing ('interpreter').

I read up on the internal documentation:
`org-edit-special' > `org-edit-src-code' > `org-src-window-setup' >
other-window (`switch-to-buffer-other-window')

Now, when I do C-c ' multiple times, the source buffer changes from 2 to
3 and back again and so on - effectively switching the 'source' and
'interpreter' window contents on each C-c '.

After reading the documentation for `switch-to-buffer-other-window', I
wanted to check out the NORECORD option that has the description:

	Optional second argument NORECORD non-nil means do not put this
	buffer at the front of the list of recently selected ones.

Now is there a way to control this option that I miss?  Would it have
any effect?  How would you handle this situation?

Best Regards,
Michael Bach

Can you clarify whether you simply want to obtain this view in Emacs
and are not sure how, or if you are asking for a way to automate the
process via a keyboard binding/macros/function in order to do this
automatically on every use of =C-c '=?

I set this view up myself and also remember that there is a way to
automate this.  My problem is not with the setup per se, but with the
behaviour that if I repeatedly press =C-c '= in the mentioned window
setup, the org src buffer is alternatingly displayed in window 2 and 3,
which is annoying (distracting)

I would like the interpreter buffer to stay in window 3 and the org src
buffer always be displayed in window 2 if I press =C-c '=.
