Say I have four windows, I'm currently in window a
, I have a compilation buffer in window d
, and I want to recompile. Currently this will require two window switch operations (I use C-o for AW dispatch): C-o d g C-o a. With this function, I only need one: C-o e d g.
This accepts arbitrary key sequences, like opening a Projectile shell buffer: C-o e f C-c p x s. That will open the shell buffer in window f
and then switch back.
I don't know if this is the best way to read key sequences, but I've been using the command for a while and it seems to work fine.
Thanks.
The aw-dispatch-alist
name: Execute Command Other Window
sounds like it might ask for a command name.
Since the prompt says: Enter key sequence:
maybe a more descriptive name would be: Key Sequence Other Window
Even if it isn't renamed, the two action lists in the readme https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window#change-the-action-midway https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window#aw-dispatch-alist is missing an entry for this command.
That's a good point. I don't have strong opinions either way.
If either one or two additional actions were added that opens the M-x
or/and Eval:
prompts in the other window.
Then at least one of them could be called Execute Command Other Window
.
What's the use-case for this?
