1 9.2 Window Commands
1 ===================
1 
1 It can be convenient to view more than one node at a time.  To allow
1 this, Info can display more than one "window".  Each window has its own
1 mode line (⇒The Mode Line) and history of nodes viewed in that
1 window (⇒'history-node' Node Commands.).
1 
1 'C-x o' ('next-window')
1      Select the next window on the screen.  Note that the echo area can
1      only be selected if it is already in use, and you have left it
1      temporarily.  Normally, 'C-x o' simply moves the cursor into the
1      next window on the screen, or if you are already within the last
1      window, into the first window on the screen.  Given a numeric
1      argument, 'C-x o' moves over that many windows.  A negative
1      argument causes 'C-x o' to select the previous window on the
1      screen.
1 
1 'M-x prev-window'
1      Select the previous window on the screen.  This is identical to
1      'C-x o' with a negative argument.
1 
1 'C-x 2' ('split-window')
1      Split the current window into two windows, both showing the same
1      node.  Each window is one half the size of the original window, and
1      the cursor remains in the original window.  The variable
1      'automatic-tiling' can cause all of the windows on the screen to be
11      resized for you automatically (⇒'automatic-tiling'
      Variables.).
1 
1 'C-x 0' ('delete-window')
1      Delete the current window from the screen.  If you have made too
1      many windows and your screen appears cluttered, this is the way to
1      get rid of some of them.
1 
1 'C-x 1' ('keep-one-window')
1      Delete all of the windows excepting the current one.
1 
1 'ESC C-v' ('scroll-other-window')
1      Scroll the other window, in the same fashion that 'C-v' might
1      scroll the current window.  Given a negative argument, scroll the
1      "other" window backward.
1 
1 'C-x ^' ('grow-window')
1      Grow (or shrink) the current window.  Given a numeric argument,
1      grow the current window that many lines; with a negative numeric
1      argument, shrink the window instead.
1 
1 'C-x t' ('tile-windows')
1      Divide the available screen space among all of the visible windows.
1      Each window is given an equal portion of the screen in which to
1      display its contents.  The variable 'automatic-tiling' can cause
1      'tile-windows' to be called when a window is created or deleted.
