{script_name} can make sure that when switching to a buffer it appears only in a particular window.
To trigger this behaviour set the localvar 'stick_buffer_to_window' to the desired window number.

You will need the script 'buffer_autoset.py' installed to make local variables persistent; see the
examples below.

Examples:
 Temporarily stick the current buffer to window 3:
   /buffer set localvar_set_stick_buffer_to_window 3
 Stick buffer #weechat to window 2:
   /buffer #weechat
   /buffer set localvar_set_stick_buffer_to_window 2
   /buffer_autoset add irc.freenode.#weechat stick_buffer_to_window 2
 Set the default stick-to window to window 5:
   /set plugins.var.python.{script_name}.default_stick_window 5
 List buffers with persistent stickiness:
   /{script_name} list
 Show this help:
   /{script_name} help
 Display local variables for current buffer:
   /buffer localvar
