# ido-select-window
A tiny package to change the window focus in Emacs using `ido` and the
name of each window's buffer.
Yes, there are plenty of packages for switching the window focus. As
far as I can tell they're all based on the position of a window
(e.g. focus left, focus right, etc.) The [switch-window] [] package
makes this a bit more visual but covers up the contents of the window
and doesn't play nicely with my IRC buffers.
I thought it would be an interesting experiment to use `ido` and the
mini-buffer for switching windows based on buffer names. That's what
this package does.

# Usage
If you're using the Emacs packaging system then this package should
automatically load. If not, require it.
Then set a key binding. I like the idea of replacing `C-x o`:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x o") 'ido-select-window)
