Previous: Change Window, Up: Windows
M-x winner-mode is a global minor mode that records the
changes in the window configuration (i.e. how the frames are
partitioned into windows), so that you can “undo” them. To undo,
use C-c left (winner-undo). If you change your mind
while undoing, you can redo the changes you had undone using C-c
right (M-x winner-redo). Another way to enable Winner mode is
by customizing the variable winner-mode.
The Windmove commands move directionally between neighboring windows in a frame. M-x windmove-right selects the window immediately to the right of the currently selected one, and similarly for the “left,” “up,” and “down” counterparts. M-x windmove-default-keybindings binds these commands to S-right etc. (Not all terminals support shifted arrow keys, however.)
Follow minor mode (M-x follow-mode) synchronizes several windows on the same buffer so that they always display adjacent sections of that buffer. See Follow Mode.
M-x scroll-all-mode provides commands to scroll all visible
windows together. You can also turn it on by customizing the variable
scroll-all-mode. The commands provided are M-x
scroll-all-scroll-down-all, M-x scroll-all-page-down-all and
their corresponding “up” equivalents. To make this mode useful,
you should bind these commands to appropriate keys.
