In vim and evil mode, normal-state C-w prefixes various window-related
commands. For example, C-w l moves focus to the right, and C-w L
moves the currently focused window to the right.
I would like access these commands in buffers that do not play well with
evil mode (such as PDF buffers). Is it possible to make C-c w act
globally as C-w does in evil normal state? It should be possible to
use prefixes and counts.
All you need to do is assign your keybinding of choice to
evil-window-map, whose docstring is:
Prefix command (definition is a keymap associating keystrokes with commands).
In your case, the following should work:
(global-set-key (kbd "\C-c w") #'evil-window-map)
