* Description

This module provides the user with a visual way to switch windows. By default,
|
|
|
|
|
the module only kicks in if there are more than two windows open at the same
|
|
|
|
|
time.

|
|
|
This module remaps the function ~other-window~ to either ~switch-window~ or
|
|
|
|
|
~ace-window~, depending on which backend you've enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~other-window~ is bound to ~C-x o~ and ~SPC w o~.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
This module provides two backends, both providing the same functionality, but
|
|
|
|
|
with different visual cues. They are =ace-window= and =switch-window=.
