The main function, `ace-window' is meant to replace `other-window'
|
||
|
by assigning each window a short, unique label. When there are only
|
||
|
two windows present, `other-window' is called (unless
|
||
|
aw-dispatch-always is set non-nil). If there are more, each
|
||
|
window will have its first label character highlighted. Once a
|
||
|
unique label is typed, ace-window will switch to that window.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To setup this package, just add to your .emacs:
|
||
|
|
||
|
(global-set-key (kbd "M-o") 'ace-window)
|
||
|
|
||
|
replacing "M-o" with an appropriate shortcut.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, ace-window uses numbers for window labels so the window
|
||
|
labeling is intuitively ordered. But if you prefer to type keys on
|
||
|
your home row for quicker access, use this setting:
|
||
|
|
||
|
(setq aw-keys '(?a ?s ?d ?f ?g ?h ?j ?k ?l))
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whenever ace-window prompts for a window selection, it grays out
|
||
|
all the window characters, highlighting window labels in red. To
|
||
|
disable this behavior, set this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
(setq aw-background nil)
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to know the selection characters ahead of time, turn on
|
||
|
`ace-window-display-mode'.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When prefixed with one `universal-argument', instead of switching
|
||
|
to the selected window, the selected window is swapped with the
|
||
|
current one.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When prefixed with two `universal-argument', the selected window is
|
||
|
deleted instead.
