How to switch to a buffer in another frame? #127

Open whatacold opened 6 years ago

Hi,

Say there are two frames and I am woking on a buffer on frame 1, which is maximized, after some time I want to change to a specific buffer in frame 2, how to achive that?

I've tried M-x ace-window, but it only shows the window labels of frame 1, I can't change to frame 2 without the window labels of frame 2.

I've read README and in Usage section of README, it says:

ace-window works across multiple frames, as you can see from the in-action gif.

But I can't figure out how the second frame in the gif, which contains the *scratch* buffer, is popped out, would you shed me some light?

Thanks.

Even if the frame isn't visible, you can still select it using the corresponding char. If you can guess it, that is.

I don't know how this can be improved further. Suggestions welcome.
