moving buffers into different windows

moving buffers into different windows

[Sivaram Neelakantan]

I usually have 1 frame with 3 windows in it when coding; the top half
has 2 windows(side by side) and the bottom 1 wide window.  Lately, I
noticed that I prefer to use the bottom window to read code and I find
that trying to move the buffer from one of the 2 upper windows to the
bottom a bit tiresome.

Is there anything that allows for buffers to cycle through a fixed
window(s) arrangement in a frame?  Preferably, only the visible file
associated buffers attached to the windows should cycle through not
the hidden or scratch buffers.

Maybe windmove + windcycle? ( http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/windcycle )

Emacswiki also has a page for transposing windows which might be
helpful: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TransposeWindows

The second link gave an useful lisp snippet that was adequate for my
use.  Thanks.

Elscreen can manage windows layout in a frame.
