@joelittlejohn The behavior of this command hasn’t been changed since it was introduced. Perhaps you’ve changed something in your Emacs setup?

@bozhidar ah, okay, thanks. What's the default behaviour? Is it supposed to be customisable?

@joelittlejohn I like cider-find-var to always use the current window. I have a hack for this — see https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/2499#issue-375036811 (I really should get around to submitting a PR to provide the behaviour I want.)

Hmm, so it seems that the implementation actually tries to be smart when there are several open windows. I’ve re-opened the ticket and I’ll try to reproduce the problem when I can.

I’ve created a PR so that by default cider-find-var uses the current window, but there is an option to have the old behaviour. (The default behaviour matches what Emacs does in .el files.) https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/2757
