Strategies for Emacs Window Management - System Crafters Live!

In this stream, we will take a look at an excellent new article by Karthik Chikmagalur called "The Emacs Window Management Almanac" and discuss the various strategies that he has described. Perhaps we'll learn a more efficient way to work with windows in Emacs?

Awesome stuff! I am new to emacs and still struggling with this, but I now set up different layers on my programmable keyboard with specific keybindings for buffer-, window- and tab management, in addition to modifier based keybindings and hydras. The possibilities are endless, but what matters to me is finding a way to do things that are intuitive and become quickly muscle memory.

[@maxfriis]

As a emacs bindings person I think you should try ace-swap-window instead of windmove-whatever. It will prompt you if you have 3+ windows. I think that is a bit more Emacs style. Evil is the approach that don't like dialogs.
You can even combine it with another little function provided:
(defun my/ace-swap-window ()
"Swap two windows (prompt if 3+) focus the current window"
(interactive)
(ace-swap-window)
(aw-flip-window))
I never combine swapping windows with moving to another window.

Good idea!

it's more important to stream about useful things, with an open source setup and understandable audio.
resolution and frame rate consistency is secondary within reason, min 480p 24fps is still readable, 720p is almost sharp, 1080p 30fps is already professional level, anything beyond is besides the point of the channel, imho.
Let's not forget how NTSC TV was 525p 30fps & PAL was 625p 25fps and served humanity pretty well for decades...

4k and beyond allows to zoom in on tiny details like text too small to read or in some distance (in a photo as a part of some example or presentation).
Also the visual difference is visible and makes watching and learning etc. nicer.

@@undefinednull5749 if it's just bit better than czcams.com/play/PLE18841CABEA24090.html&si=6zsNm33SbguVv-uE then I'm already happy.
this recording was below my standards too :) still watched it, because i wanted to understand it.
