I use a dual monitor setup on emacs, showing the *cider-result* buffer on one screen and the code buffers and repl on the other screen. When I evaluate cider--pprint-last-sexp , it always opens a *cider-result* buffer on the same screen I am coding on. I couldn't find a variable to customize this behavior. Maybe you are considering adding such a feature, or you could give me a hint and I will happily contribute a pull request.
