revert: fix(docs): set mode in file-local vars
emacs-straight/org-mode@e22b4eb7aa introduced a breaking change that
made it impossible to rely on .dir-locals.el to change org-mode buffers
in $EMACSDIR to doom-docs-org-mode (without infinite recursion), so we
used file-local variables in 7e400ab.

emacs-straight/org-mode@215de6176b reverted that change, so we can use
.dir-locals.el again, and this is my preference, since it requires less
boilerplate across our hundreds of org files.

:ui window-select

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.
