In i3 there's a neat way to move the current window around the desktop.

Say I have windows

XXX|YYY

and I'm in window X. With Shift+Win+Down I can change the layout to

YYY

XXX

Pressing Shift-Win-Up gives

XXX|YYY

again and pressing Shirt-Win-Up once again gives

XXX

YYY

I would like to have the same for emacs windows within one emacs frame, but so far I haven't figured out a way how to do it. I'm familiar with winmove-<up/down>, but this just changes the active window. buf-move keeps the layout but just switches buffers between windows. So far I haven't found a way to get a behavior similar to i3.

Any kind of help is appreciated.

  • I don't think it's a duplicate because *none* of these replies address the functionality I was asking about. I know that I can change the split (horizontal to vertical and vice versa) and I know how I can switch buffer inside existing windows. – Axel Schröder Nov 14 '20 at 10:08
