Window Handling Convenience Features and Customization
======================================================

   `M-x winner-mode' is a global minor mode that records the changes in
the window configuration (i.e. how the frames are partitioned into
windows), so that you can "undo" them.  To undo, use `C-x left'
(`winner-undo').  If you change your mind while undoing, you can redo
the changes you had undone using `C-x right' (`M-x winner-redo').
Another way to enable Winner mode is by customizing the variable
`winner-mode'.

   The Windmove commands move directionally between neighboring windows
in a frame.  `M-x windmove-right' selects the window immediately to the
right of the currently selected one, and similarly for the "left," "up,"
and "down" counterparts.  `M-x windmove-default-keybindings' binds
these commands to `S-right' etc.  (Not all terminals support shifted
arrow keys, however.)

   Follow minor mode (`M-x follow-mode') synchronizes several windows
on the same buffer so that they always display adjacent sections of
that buffer.  Note: Follow Mode.

   `M-x scroll-all-mode' provides commands to scroll all visible
windows together.  You can also turn it on by customizing the variable
`scroll-all-mode'.  The commands provided are `M-x
scroll-all-scroll-down-all', `M-x scroll-all-page-down-all' and their
corresponding "up" equivalents.  To make this mode useful, you should
bind these commands to appropriate keys.
