* Description
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
#+begin_quote
|
|
~other-window~ is bound to ~C-x o~ and ~SPC w o~.
|
|
#+end_quote
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
** Module Flags
|
|
+ =+switch-window= Use the switch-window package as the backend, instead of

* Configuration
|
|
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 displayed characters are small and difficult to see.
|
|
|
|
** 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.
