Emacs, switch to previous window

Question

In Emacs, C-x o takes me to the next window.

What keyboard macro takes me to the previous window in Emacs?

Answer 1

The fastest method I have found for switching to the previous window is to mash a couple keys together as a "key-chord". The following lets you use your left pinky+ring fingers together to go to previous window:

(key-chord-define-global "qw" 'prev-window)
(key-chord-define-global "'y" 'other-window) ; bonus for my colemak, adjust otherwise
(key-chord-define-global ";'" 'other-window) ; probably normal

(This is possible because Emacs key chords are order independent, meaning that qw is the same as wq.)
