+* General window and buffer tweaks
+
+In this section we make use of the ~display-buffer-alist~ to control
+the display and placement of buffers in windows.  Each section covers
+the details.
+
+** Focus ~occur~ buffer when it is displayed
+
+Here we are leveraging the powerful ~display-buffer-alist~ to write
+rules for what should happen with buffers that are either using (or
+derived-from) the ~occur-mode~ OR are named =*Occur...=.  The buffer
+is displayed below the current window, thus remaining close to its
+context, while it automatically gets focus.
