Window configuration rings
This package provides lightweight support for circular rings of window configurations. A window configuration is the layout of windows and associated buffers within a frame. There is always at least one configuration on the ring, the current configuration. You can create new configurations and cycle through the layouts in either direction. You can also delete configurations from the ring (except the last one of course!). Window configurations are named, and you can jump to and delete named configurations. Display of the current window configuration name in the mode line supported. Window configuration rings are frame specific. That is, each frame has its own ring which can be cycled through independently of other frames. You are always looking at the current window configuration for each frame, which consists of the windows in the frame, the buffers in those windows, and point in the current buffer. As you run commands such as "C-x 4 b", "C-x 2", and "C-x 0" you are modifying the current window configuration. When you jump to a new configuration, the layout that existed before the jump is captured, and the ring is rotated to the selected configuration. Window configurations are captured with `current-window-configuration', however winring also saves point for the current buffer. To use, make sure this file is on your `load-path' and put the following in your .emacs file: (require 'winring) (winring-initialize) Note that by default, this binds the winring keymap to the C-x 7 prefix, but you can change this by setting the value of `winring-keymap-prefix', before you call `winring-initialize'. The following commands are defined: C-x 7 n -- Create a new window configuration. The new configuration will contain a single buffer, the one named in the variable `winring-new-config-buffer-name' With C-u, winring prompts for the name of the new configuration. If you don't use C-u the function in `winring-name-generator' will be called to get the new configuration's name. C-x 7 2 -- Create a duplicate of the current window configuration. C-x 7 j -- Jump to a named configuration (prompts for the name). C-x 7 0 -- Kill the current window configuration and rotate to the previous layout on the ring. You cannot delete the last configuration in the ring. With C-u, prompts for the name of the configuration to kill. C-x 7 o -- Go to the next configuration on the ring. C-x 7 p -- Go to the previous configuration on the ring. Note that the sequence `C-x 7 o C-x 7 p' is a no-op; it leaves you in the same configuration you were in before the sequence. C-x 7 r -- Rename the current window configuration. C-x 7 b -- Submit a bug report on winring. C-x 7 v -- Echo the winring version.
