Possible Duplicate:
Emacs, switch to previous window

other-window advances me to the next window in the current frame, but I also want a way to move back to the previous window.

Emacs has next-buffer and previous-buffer, but no analogous interactive functions for window navigation. Just other-window.

    Provide a negative argument with C-u - (‘Control+U’ then ‘minus’), or even more simply C-- (‘Control minus’).

    • Move to previous window: C-- C-x o
    • Move to previous frame: C-- C-x 5 o

    From code, (other-window -1) or (other-frame -1) will do the same thing.

    Check out the help for the key you want to reverse (e.g. C-h k C-x o to show help for C-x o) and if it says ‘A negative argument…’ you know you can use C--.
