Can I disable the cider stacktrace popup when an exception is thrown? I'd rather show it manually only when I need it.

Yes you can. There’s a defvar for it

On mobile so not sure what it’s called. If you C-h v and start typing cider error I bet you’ll see it

(setq cider-show-error-buffer nil) is the ticket

Perfect, thanks!

every time auto complete kicks in for my shadow project, i get a npe, any suggestions?

When in a cljc file, how do I force (cider-find-var) to jump to the cljs source rather than the clj source? Currently it always defaults to the clj file.
