That's great 👍
Can you try to make it work with helm ?

[oppenlander]

@syl20bnr I'll look in to this.
It will probably involve creating a functions utilizing completing-read, which should automatically select between ido and helm.

I have also found frame-move to be greatly helpful. It makes it so that the window move commands move between frames if an error is thrown. This is brilliant for multi monitor setups because you don't have to use a separate command to switch between frames; you can just use the same evil-window-up etc.

Use this if you want to add this functionality. Seems to work very well on my machine but should be tested on macs/different versions.

(use-package framemove
  :init
  (setq framemove-hook-into-windmove t)))

Might be good to add to this PR, or I can make a new PR adding it. I don't know what the procedure is.

[oppenlander]

@Devagamster I don't like it hooking in to windmove, but I do like the idea of including framemove.el for SPC F [hjkl].
Maybe compound this with documenting that (setq framemove-hook-into-windmove t) is available?

[Kethku]

Sounds perfect 😄

@oppenlander Can you rebase your work on develop ? :-)

[oppenlander]

@StreakyCobra Sorry for the late reply.
I'm in the middle of a move, and don't have much time to work on this, but will get back to it when I can.

There is a bit more work to be done on this.
Right now IDO and Helm override certain built in functions, so we need to specially handle some of the manipulation commands.

[StreakyCobra]

@oppenlander No worries, take your time, I'm just trying to resurrect/reanimate old interesting PR :-)

[shobute]

Sorry for bumping an extremely old MR, but I'd love to see this functionality. Just wondering what additional work would be needed to get this in? I'd be happy to pick it up.

[robbyoconnor]

Hey @shobute,

1. Conflicts would need to be resolved.
2. I'm not sure if @oppenlander was done yet...

[oppenlander]

Go ahead and use the PR by @shobute
I never found the time to add the Helm/windmove commands.
