[feature request] Act as if aw-dispatch-always is on when invoked with prefix arg

[j-cr]

What the title says. The reasoning is to use ace-window for all window operations (deleting, swapping, etc) without introducing separate keybindings, while also being able to switch between windows with one keystroke when there're only two windows.

Since it is a breaking change probably a switch to turn this behavior on and off is needed.

I vote against any change that breaks the way the prefix arg has been used in ace-window for a long time (greater than a year).

I was just going through the issue tracker to mention an unrelated topic and came across your request. Sorry that it's over a year late ;)

I do this locally with 0 arg (C-0 C-o with my bindings) instead of the usual toggling of aw-ignore-on. You can add this definition to your init:

(defun ace-window (arg)
    "Select a window.
Perform an action based on ARG described below.

By default, behaves like extended `other-window'.
See `aw-scope' which extends it to work with frames.

Prefixed with one \\[universal-argument], does a swap between the
selected window and the current window, so that the selected
buffer moves to current window (and current buffer moves to
selected window).

Prefixed with two \\[universal-argument]'s, deletes the selected
window."
    (interactive "p")
    (setq avy-current-path "")
    (cl-case arg
      (0
       (let ((aw-dispatch-always (not aw-dispatch-always)))
         (ace-select-window)))
      (4 (ace-swap-window))
      (16 (ace-delete-window))
      (t (ace-select-window))))

Thanks.
