Subject: bug#64868: 29.1; C-x O binding suggestion for (other-window -1)
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2023 06:46:30 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202307260646.36Q6kU0Q011468@sdf.org> (raw)
When there are three or more windows in a frame C-x o runs the command
other-window. Wanting to goto the previous window the keybinding for
that is not obvious. C-x p is a keymap prefix for project related work.
May I suggest to make possible the binding C-x O for (other-window -1)
as follows
(global-set-key
(kbd "C-x O")
#'(lambda ()
"Previous window."
(interactive)
(other-window -1)))
Use case to demonstrate idea suggested
1. run, emacs -Q -nw --color=no
2. create three windows in one frame
3. when wanting to goto the prev window, C-x o runs the command other-window that goes the long way around
4. C-x O that runs the command (other-window -1) improves the life quality experience
The *Messages* buffer says
C-x o (translated from C-x O) runs the command other-window
Similarly if C-j behaves like C-m in the dired buffer to run the command dired-find-file that feels better.
