Hi,

One may want to customize its `display-buffer-alist' carefully to 
apply the 'no-other-window parameter to eg side windows so they 
are not selected by the `other-window' command and to create 
custom functions of the family (eg creating a 
`find-file-in-other-window' that does not select windows with the 
no-other-window parameter)

Unfortunately by doing so, we actually limit the use of the 
windmove commands since `windmove-find-other-window' always ignore 
windows with this parameter.
It is not a fatality since `window-in-direction' can receive an 
argument to choose if we want to ignore this parameter or not.

This draft implements an user option to let the user choose that 
behavior.

Because it applies to `windmove-find-other-window', it allows the 
commands windmove-right, windmove-left, windmove-down, windmove-up 
to select windows with the no-other-window parameter, but not for 
the `windmove-display-*' functions. I suppose it is the desired 
behavior.

Thanks.  I don't use windmove, so I will let others comment.  But
please allow me a few minor nits:

This isn't formatted accoring to our rules.  In particular, each
sentence after the colon should begin with a capital letter and end
with a period.  See CONTRIBUTE for more details (and I suggest to use
Emacs commands for writing log messages, as they will take care of
some routine parts of the formatting for you).

> +(defcustom windmove-ignore-no-other-window nil

This name is not the best one.  For starters, "ignore-no" is a kind of
double negation, which makes it harder to understand and remember.
Can you come up with a better description of what exactly is ignored
here?

> +  "Whether the windmove commands are allowed to target all type of windows,

The first line of a doc string should be a complete sentence (it is)
and end with a period.

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"If non-nil, ..."

If you reference this parameter, I think you should say that it's a
parameter to be applied by display-buffer-alist's actions.

> +  :type 'boolean
> +  :group 'windmove)

New defcustoms should have a :version tag.  Also, I believe we don't
like redundant :group tags, such as the one here.

So that means you are recommending to use VC instead of Magit 
(that I used) for committing changes ?
Maybe Magit have a something that I am not aware for this purpose 
?

Yes, i think 'windmove-move-in-all-windows' will be more explicit.

got them. the last one may be a little bit confusing for the 
reader that is not aware of it because all others defcustoms of 
window.el applies a :group tag. Do you want that I remove the 
others unnecessary ones ?

No, it seems to be a bug on my end. Somewhere on a file

AFAIK, Magit does have such a command, but don't ask me what it is...

Fine with me if you remove them.

How you commit is up to you. This is about how to create the commit
message.

    >> Maybe Magit have a something that I am not aware for this purpose 
    >> ?

    Eli> AFAIK, Magit does have such a command, but don't ask me what it is...

'magit-generate-changelog', which you can run from your Magit commit
buffer. It's pretty much the same as C-x 4 A
(diff-add-change-log-entries-other-window), which you'd run from a
*vc-diff* buffer. The main difference is that C-x 4 A and C-x 4 a will
put entries into a ChangeLog file or buffer.

Repeating words "...move-move..." doesn't look nice.  Maybe a better name
would be 'windmove-allow-all-windows'.

You could try using new option in all functions that call window-in-direction:
in windmove-display-in-direction, in windmove-delete-in-direction,
in windmove-swap-states-in-direction.

Thanks you for the guidance, I think I would have had difficulties 
to find it
myself because it seems dependant of the context (at least the 
magit one)
and I couldn't find them directly with eg 'helpfull-function'.
However it don't seems to always works and another annoyance but 
it is
another topic.

Very much appreciated.

That is better, indeed, thank you.

Done.
I am in terra incognita for theses commands, The opportunity to 
add new
keybindings in my configuration is always nice :p

It was really simple and my tests seems to works fine with
'windmove-allow-all-windows' for all functions.

See the patch attached.

As a side note, while reading these commands,

I think 'windmove-display-same-window', 
'windmove-display-new-frame',
'windmove-display-new-tab' are not really at they own place in 
windmove.

We have already "C-x 4 1" (same-window-prefix) and "C-x 5 5"
(other-frame-prefix) and (other-tab-prefix) --that is not bound to 
any
key on my system but would eventually have its place in the "C-x 
t" map.

Should we --for these windmove-commands :
 1. keep them as they are
 2. make aliases and clean-up 'windmove-display-in-direction'
 3. delete them and clean-up 'windmove-display-in-direction'
?

Since it becomes to get off the topic with the removal of the
:group tag, I can start another patch "clean-up" if requested.

Thanks, now it's much better.

It's very strange that your configuration has unbound other-tab-prefix.
By default, it's bound to 'C-x t t'.

Please keep them as they are.  It's very convenient
to bind these commands to use the same prefix keys
that are configured by windmove customization
(that was greatly improved recently!)
