next-window(2)

NAME

next-window - Move the cursor to the next window
previous-window - Move the cursor to the previous window

SYNOPSIS

n next-window (C-x o) 
n previous-window (C-x p) 

DESCRIPTION

next-window makes the next window down the current window. A +ve argument n, makes the nth window from the top current, where 1 is the first window. A -ve argument n specifies the nth window from the bottom current. An argument n of 0, makes the next window down current, if this is the last window then the command fails.

previous-window makes the next window up the current window. A +ve argument n, this makes the nth window from the bottom the current window. A -ve argument n makes the nth window from the top current. An argument n of zero makes the previous window current, if this is the first window then the command fails.

When no argument is supplied then the next (or previous) window becomes the current window. Wrapping occurs from bottom to top on next-window, and top to bottom on previous-window.

NOTES

The n=0 argument is typically used to traverse the window list from top to bottom, where the FALSE status may be trapped and used as an indicator that end of the windows list has been reached.
