Click on the heading to find all pages related to window management in
Emacs.

== Emacs Windows – the Basics ==

* [[Window]] -- what a window is in Emacs
* WindowConfiguration -- what a window configuration is
* ModeLine, ModeLinePosition -- the mode-line of a window

[:Navigation]
== Windows Navigation (Selection) ==

Move among windows -- alternatives to <kbd>C-x o</kbd>
(`other-window').

* Use arrow keys to choose
** [[windcycle]]
** WindMove
** WindowNavigation
* Use a window name or number to choose
** [[Ace Window]] -- move to another window by typing the first
   character of the window's name
** [[Icicles]]: <kbd>C-u C-x o</kbd> in Icicle mode -- Cycle/filter/complete
   window names to choose a window
** NumberedWindows
** [[Switch Window]] -- shows big numbers in each window, you input
   the number to get where you want to.
** WindowNumberingMode
* Use a transient keymap to move among windows
** WinSwitch -- a dynamic, transient mode that enables easy, efficient
   navigation among windows (and frames)
* <kbd>M-x next-multiframe-window</kbd> -- similar to `other-window' but cycles
  both through windows and frames.

== Resizing, Splitting, … Windows ==

* DoReMi -- Resize windows incrementally, using arrow keys or mouse
  wheel. Hold Meta key to boost resizing increment.
* GridLayout -- how to quickly split the frame into a grid
* HorizontalSplitting -- Force Emacs to always use
  split-window-horizontally instead of split-window for temporary
  buffers, like <kbd>C-x C-b</kbd> and
  <kbd>M-x describe-function</kbd>.
* [[https://github.com/ramnes/move-border|move-border.el]] -- Resize
  windows by moving their own border in a given direction
* [[Multicolumn]] -- improved handling of multiple side-by-side windows in a frame
* OneWindow -- Make Emacs always use only one window for whatever it
  does
* PlaceWindows ([[place-windows.el]]) -- place active windows
  according to number of rows, incrementally or with universal
  argument.  Each row height is equal, each column height equal in
  current row.
* QuickTiling -- If you like xmonad, tmux etc., chances are you'll
  this too.
* ThreeWindows -- Enjoy your work in three windows per [[Frame]].  One
  big and two small.
* ToggleWindowSplit -- Toggle between vertical and horizontal split
* TransposeFrame -- Transpose windows arrangement in a [[Frame]]
* TransposeWindows -- Rearrange windows within a [[Frame]]
* WidenWindow -- Widen the active window
* WindowResize -- Resize windows using simple keybindings

== Switching Window Configurations ==

* BFocus ([[bfocus.el]]) -- Temporarly fill a frame with a window and
  then change back to previous configuration
* CategorizingInformationManager -- Ee-windows for switching between
  window configurations
* EmacsLispScreen (elscreen.el) -- Switch between numbered screens
  with the <kbd>C-\</kbd> prefix command
* EmacsScreen (escreen.el) -- same thing
* LayoutRestore -- Save multi-window layout and restore it
* PolicySwitch -- Manage lists of window configurations as policies.
  Persistence across sessions.
* PopWin -- Manage temporary windows that pop up, eg
  <code>*Help*</code> and <code>*Completions*</code> buffer windows,
  and get them out of the way fast
* RecursiveEditPreservingWindowConfig -- Temporarily change the window
  configuration using RecursiveEdit
* WindowsAndRegisters -- Store window configurations in registers
* WindowsMode -- Open new configurations, keep track of them, and
  store them to disk (SessionManagement)
* WinnerMode -- Undo and redo changes to the window configuration
* WinRing -- Switch between named window configurations ("mail",
  "irc", "gnus" etc.) using prefix key <kbd>C-x 7</kbd>.
* WorkgroupsForWindows -- A simple window-configuration persistence
  package

* CategoryBufferSwitching -- Rather than switching window
  configurations, maybe you just want to switch buffers?

== Frame Configurations ==

To save the current configuration of ''[[frame]]s'' and later restore
it, use <kbd>C-x r f</kbd> (`frame-configuration-to-register') and
<kbd>C-x r j</kbd> (`jump-to-register'), respectively.  See
FramesAndRegisters.

'''See also:'''

* DoReMi -- Commands to resize and move frames incrementally, using
  the arrow keys or mouse wheel.
* [[FrameModes#FrameCommands]] -- Commands to manipulate frames:
** Iconify/hide all frames and restore them using <kbd>C-M-z</kbd>.
** Resize and move frames incrementally, using the arrow keys.
** Tile all visible frames horizontally or vertically.  Particularly
   useful before comparing buffers with Ediff.
* [[Shrink-Wrapping Frames]] -- Commands to resize frames.
