I have 3 windows opened and I want to change which buffers they display.
For example: when programming in C, I want to have the C code on the left, and the right side split into two windows showing gdb and the locals variables. If I open them in order, Emacs puts the buffers in a layout I'm not comfortable with.
How can I arrange which buffers are in which windows? Can I do it without using non-built-in packages?
The ace-window package provides a function ace-swap-window that provides a nice interface for this. When you call the command each window gets a letter label. Type that letter and it will swap the buffers in the current window and the selected window. Variations allow you to select or delete different windows as well.
