With no prefix arg, candidate windows are those of the selected frame. With a prefix arg, windows of all visible frames are candidates. A window name is the name of its displayed buffer, but suffixed as needed by [NUMBER], to make the name unique. For example, if you have two windows showing buffer *Help*, one of the windows will be called `*Help*[2]' for use with this command. By default, `C-x o' does this in Icicles: No prefix arg - almost same as vanilla Emacs: If multiple windows in frame, then `other-window'; else `other-frame' `C-0 C-x o' - If multiple windows in frame, `icicle-select-window'; else `icicle-select-frame' (analog to window) `C-u C-x o' - Like `C-o C-x o', but windows in all frames are candidates.
