navi-mode only sets "twin-markers" in the code/org buffer and the navi-buffer
for quick buffer-switching. Its based on occur (i.e. replace.el), and there I
find something like:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(win (or (get-buffer-window buf)
(display-buffer buf
'(nil (inhibit-same-window . t)
(inhibit-switch-frame . t)))))
#+end_src
and thats how its behaves: navi-buffer is not displayed in another frame, and
not in the same window as the code/org buffer.
maybe my (constant) gnus window config (stolen somewhere) is helpful for you?
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
; 3 part window for Gnus
(gnus-add-configuration '(article (horizontal 1.0 (vertical
65 (group 1.0) ) (vertical 1.0 (summary 0.15 point) (article 1.0)
))))
(gnus-add-configuration '(summary (horizontal 1.0 (vertical
65 (group 1.0) ) (vertical 1.0 (summary 1.0 point) ))))
#+end_src
`gnus-add-configuration' is defined in gnus-win.el.
Here is what C-1 a (in *Navi-buffer*) shows me about this library, I
guess there are quite a lot of things to copy/reuse for you:
