Hi all, Has anyone else noticed that window switching in emacs is a bit cumbersome?
About a month ago I created a new prefix key C-t and bound h,j,k,l to move to the left, top, bottom, and right window respectively. Here is the snippet in my .emacs file that makes this happen. Please note that this destroys C-t which is by default bound to transpose-char. If you use this a lot try another prefix key.
;;Make window switching a little easier. C-x-o is a pain. ;;Unbind C-t. I don't really care about transposing chars. (global-unset-key "\C-t") ;; Turn C-t into a prefix key (define-prefix-command 'ctrl-t-prefix) ;; And within C-t bind vi-style navigation shortcuts ;; to window switching (define-key 'ctrl-t-prefix "j" 'windmove-down) (define-key 'ctrl-t-prefix "k" 'windmove-up) (define-key 'ctrl-t-prefix "h" 'windmove-left) (define-key 'ctrl-t-prefix "l" 'windmove-right) (global-set-key "\C-t" 'ctrl-t-prefix)

I used to think so till I bound C-o to other-window. Some people will tell you it's heresy to override default emacs bindings :) -- Ivan http://kanis.fr
