How can I create a command to always move focus to a specific
window/buffer

I'd like to have a command which always moved the focus that a window
named `*org-roam*`, regardless of position or amount of windows
currently at the display. How can I do that?

I'm using Doom Emacs, if that's relevant.

Thanks!

Look into `pop-to-buffer`, `pop-to-buffer-same-window`, and how they
interact with `display-buffer-alist`.

This works fine, thanks! Just added this to my Doom init:

    (map! :map (org-mode-map evil-org-mode-map)
        :nvieg "M-ç" (lambda ()
                        (interactive)
                        (pop-to-buffer "*org-roam*")))
