For example, having Emacs on the whole screen and splitting the buffers like this: A|B -+- C|D I know how to do the splitting, but I am curious about what people use to move around. Using C-x o (other-window) is a pain with many windows, same applies to selecting buffers by name (at least for me), and I want to avoid using the mouse for this. I am thinking of something like "move to buffer B, regardless of what is there". I am interested in how other people handle these setups. .emacs snippets are welcome, too. Also, feel free to tell me if I am trying to do something silly that does not mesh well with Emacs. Thanks, Tamas
