If you enjoy using windmove, this package is an add-on for you: it
has variants of the windmove commands which swap the buffers as you
move, so that you get the effect of "dragging" windows around
directionally with the arrow keys.
Update: as of Emacs 27.1, there are windmove-swap-* commands that
are mostly identical to this package, with the exception that they
will happily swap the contents of dedicated windows, while windswap
refuses to do so: this seems like a better behaviour to me.
You can install windswap from the
MELPA repository. The version of
windswap there will always be up-to-date.
Add global key bindings for windswap's commands manually, or use the
convenient windswap-default-keybindings function.
