如何强制Emacs显示* Messages窗口

Question

I'm printing a message like this

(interactive "P")
(message "test")

If the Messages buffer is not visible in the frame, it should appear as a split window. I've seen some softwares do this (maybe tramp) not sure how to do this.

I already read http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Displaying-Messages.html

I think this works

(defun my-kbd-x-hook (&optional use-generic-p)
  "Curl call"
  (interactive "P")
  (message "hi")
  (switch-to-buffer-other-window "*Messages"))
