#+TITLE: :ui window-select
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.
* Keybindings
The default function to switch windows is automatically changed to work with this module. More specifically, the function ~other-window~ is automatically remapped. This function is bounded by default to ~C-x o~.
* Customization
There are two packages that accomplish the same but with a different visual queue.
** ace-window
The first character of the buffers change to a user selectable character.
+ Pros: The content of the buffers are always visible.
+ Cons: The displayed characters are small and difficult to see.
This is the module's default if no module flag is specified. To explicitly enable this, write in *init.el*: ~(doom! :ui (window-select +ace-window))~
** switch-window
The entire buffer is replaced by big letters than enable the user to easily select a desired window.
+ Pros: The displayed characters are easy to see. They will never be missed.
+ Cons: The contents of the buffers is entirely replaced by a big character.
To enable this, write in *init.el*: ~(doom! :ui (window-select +switch-window))~
