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.
