Description unfold
This module provides several methods for selecting windows without the use of the mouse or spatial navigation (e.g. C-w {h,j,k,l}).
The command other-window is remapped to either switch-window or ace-window,
depending on which backend you've enabled. It is bound to C-x o (and C-w C-w for
evil users).
It also provides numbered windows and selection with the winum package, if desired. Evil users can jump to window N in C-w <N> (where N is a number between 0 and 9). Non evil users have C-x w <N> instead.

This module provides two backends, both providing the same functionality, but with different visual cues. They are ace-window and switch-window.
ace-window
The first character of the buffers changes to a highlighted, user-selectable character.
- Pros: the content of the buffers are always visible.
- Cons: The display characters are small and difficult to see (see below for a way to enlarge them).
Custom font-face example
This changes the ace-window display to show a white letter with a red background. The box attribute adds some padding:
(custom-set-faces!
'(aw-leading-char-face
:foreground "white" :background "red"
:weight bold :height 2.5 :box (:line-width 10 :color "red")))switch-window
Replaces the entire buffer with large letters.
- Pros: The displayed characters are really easy to see.
- Cons: You can't see the contents of the buffers.
