How fast swap between buffers? #139

Closed alexei-28 closed 6 years ago

alexei-28 commented 6 years ago

Windows 10, Emacs 25.1

I have 4 open buffers.

Here

step_0

To switch from buffer "file_1.txt" to buffer "file_2.txt" I use standard command windmove-right. It is bound to <M-right>.

step_1

To switch from buffer "file_2.txt" to buffer "file_3.txt" I use standard command windmove-down. It is bound to <M-down>.

And so on. It's very comfortable. Nice.

But what if I need to SWAP buffers "file_1.txt" and "file_2.txt"?

The result must be like this:

step_2

To do this I use package ace-window and command ace-swap-window.

Here steps.

  1. Start command ace-swap-window

step_3

Select number of windows I want to swap - "3" step_4

And as result the buffer "file_1.txt" and "file_2.txt" was swapped.

step_5

But I think it's very slow.

Is it possible when I stay on buffer "file_1.txt" and press, e.g. <M-S-right> to swap buffer "file_1.txt" and "file_2.txt".

Or when I stay on buffer "file_2.txt" and press, e.g. <M-S-down> to swap buffer "file_2.txt" and "file_4.txt".

I think it will be very fast and convenient.

Maybe so, but it's not the responsibility of ace-window. This looks like a feature request for windmove.

This is already available in repo github.com/emacsmirror/buffer-move.git

After install from Melpa and set in my init.el

(require 'buffer-move)

I restart Emacs and get error:

Symbol's value as variable is void: closed

When I evaluate

(require 'buffer-move)

I get error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable closed)
