This is from jao [1]:

;;;; window navegation
(defun jao-first-window ()
  (interactive)
  (select-window (frame-first-window)))

(defmacro jao-nth-window (n)
  `'(lambda ()
     (interactive)
     (jao-first-window)
     (other-window ,n)))

and then he defines some keys:

    (global-set-key (kbd "\C-c1") 'jao-first-window)
    (global-set-key (kbd "\C-c2") (jao-nth-window 1))
    (global-set-key (kbd "\C-c3") (jao-nth-window 2))
    (global-set-key (kbd "\C-c4") (jao-nth-window 3))

does that help you?

yes, put the following in your .emacs:

(windmove-default-keybindings)

then you can switch windows with SHIFT-<arrow-key>. check out windmove.el
for further options.

Another possibility is window-number.el [1].  It numbers windows and you
can switch them with C-x C-j <number>.  With `window-number-meta-mode'
you can switch them more easily with M-<number>.

Hope that helps,

Edward,
don't waste your time with a reply. I don't actually use that code,
its from another guy..
I only split my frame in half, so it's not useful for me.
