Can you be a little bit more specific, what your problem is and what you
like to be improved?

Hmm, sorry, I do not know how to improve it, I just feel current Vim windows
position management is weak.
There is another example, If you use plugin `minibufexplr`, it should at top of
all windows. But when you execute command `:help` then the help window will be
at top of this `minibufexplr` window. This is not good, even though this is not
a big problem.

I guess the problem is `minibufexplr` can not always keep it's position on
top. I report this in Tagma_buffer_manage (a plugin similar with minibufexplr)
issues, but the author said it can not be changed. So now, I suggest vim-dev can
improve it. About how, and what on earth ? I guess I do not know. I'm sorry for
this bad implicit post.

Annoying behavior of quicklist appearance: just like the OP, I would like to quickfix at the bottom of the current window, not at the bottom of rightmost window or at the bottom of all windows.

Note: according to the doc, `belowright copen` should make quickfix window appear at the bottom of the *current* window, but it still opens at the bottom of rightmost one. `belowright new` works as intended. Guess it needs to be a bug report in a separate thread (in the linked page nobody mentioned belowright).

I checked out command `:help :belowright`. I found it doesn't work for
`:execute` and `:normal`. Plugin SingleCompile code use `rightbelow` in `exec`.

False. It is meant there that

belowright execute 'new'
is not guaranteed to work (in fact it does not), but it was never meant that

execute 'belowright new'
won’t work.
