So I opened emacs through putty by executing the command “emacs -nw FILENAME”, where emacs opens up with the desired file. I split the screen in emacs in order to open different file by executing the command “C-x 2” in emacs to split the window horizontally so that I can view two windows at a time.
My question is, now that I can view both files next to each other through the split screen, how do I edit the other file? (I can’t use the mouse to click on the other file (other split window) to edit it because I can only use key commands when using emacs through putty)
Use C-x o,
