More than two is a bit painful, in my experience, as I don't think Emacs has directional focus like the usual X11 WMs (e.g. i3, bspwm) and C-o works well with only two. Magit and sly/SLIME work much better with a second window, I'd say. | ||

> I don't think Emacs has directional focus It does, but I don't think they have default bindings. The commands are windmove-{left,down,up,right}. I've had them bound to C-S-{h,j,k,l} for years and it makes moving around much more fluid and predictable than C-x o. | ||

If you need to manage multiple windows in emacs I find ace-window perfect. Pops up a number in the top left of the window and you hit it to jump to it. If only two, C-o works as before. https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window I have never used more than like 5 windows and only for a short time. I guess it doesn't work past 10 but that's gotta be enough for anyone... | ||
