@cindex mode, Winner
@cindex undoing window configuration changes
@cindex window configuration changes, undoing
@kbd{M-x winner-mode} provides a global minor mode that records the
changes in the window configuration (i.e. how the frames are partitioned
into windows) so that the changes can be `undone' using the command
@kbd{M-x winner-undo}, bound to @kbd{C-x left} by default. If you
change your mind (while undoing), you can use @kbd{M-x winner-redo}
(@kbd{C-x right}). You can also turn on Winner mode by customizing
@code{winner-mode}.
@vindex scroll-all-mode
@cindex scrolling windows together
@cindex Scroll-all mode
@cindex mode, Scroll-all
@kbd{M-x scroll-all-mode} provides commands to scroll all visible
windows together as in CRiSP/Brief emulation (@pxref{Emulation}). You
can also turn it on by customizing @code{scroll-all-mode}. The commands
provided are @kbd{M-x scroll-all-scroll-down-all}, @kbd{M-x
scroll-all-page-down-all} and their `up' equivalents. You would
probably want to bind these to appropriate keys.
@kbd{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 @kbd{C-x left} (@code{winner-undo}). If you change your mind
while undoing, you can redo the changes you had undone using @kbd{C-x
right} (@code{M-x winner-redo}). Another way to enable Winner mode is
by customizing the variable @code{winner-mode}.

The Windmode commands move directionally between neighbouring windows in
a frame. @kbd{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. @kbd{M-x windmove-default-keybindings} binds
these commands to @kbd{S-right} etc. (These bindings will only work if
your terminal supports shifted arrow keys.)
right of the currently selected one, and similarly for the ``left,'' ``up,''
and ``down'' counterparts. @kbd{M-x windmove-default-keybindings} binds
these commands to @kbd{S-right} etc. (Not all terminals support shifted
arrow keys, however.)

@cindex windows, synchronizing
@cindex synchronizing windows
Follow minor mode (@kbd{M-x follow-mode}) synchronizes several windows
on the same buffer so that they always display adjacent sections of that
buffer. Also if point moves outside a window, another window displaying
that point is selected if possible, so that you can move between windows
with normal movement commands. You can use this facility, for instance,
to operate effectively with double the number of lines of a file visible
in a given screen height using side-by-side windows on the same buffer:
split the window with @kbd{C-x 3} and then use @kbd{M-x follow-mode} to
synchronize the windows.
Follow minor mode (@kbd{M-x follow-mode}) synchronizes several
windows on the same buffer so that they always display adjacent
sections of that buffer. Also if point moves outside a window, it
moves automatically to another window which shows that part of the
buffer, if any. Thus, the windows act like one large window on
the buffer.
@cindex cursor in non-selected windows
@vindex show-cursor-in-non-selected-windows
@vindex cursor-in-non-selected-windows
Normally, the cursor in non-selected windows is shown as a hollow box.
If you want Emacs not to display the cursor in non-selected windows,
customize the option @code{show-cursor-in-non-selected-windows}, or set
the variable @code{cursor-in-non-selected-windows} to a non-@code{nil}
value.
One use of this feature is to effectively double the number of lines
in a given screen height, using side-by-side windows on the same
buffer. First split a window into side-by-side windows with @kbd{C-x
3}, then use @kbd{M-x follow-mode} to synchronize the windows.
@vindex scroll-all-mode
@cindex scrolling windows together
@cindex Scroll-all mode
@cindex mode, Scroll-all
@kbd{M-x scroll-all-mode} provides commands to scroll all visible
windows together. You can also turn it on by customizing the variable
@code{scroll-all-mode}. The commands provided are @kbd{M-x
scroll-all-scroll-down-all}, @kbd{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.
