Emacs move around split windows in a specified direction?

Question

In Terminal Emacs (no mouse), I\'m using split windows to work with multiple buffers at the same time. I\'m finding moving between the split windows much more painful than h

You can give a prefix argument to C-x o like this C-u -1 C-x o. This way you can go any number of windows forward or backward. Personally I think it's easier to create a special key for moving back one window. I have this in my .emacs:

(defun other-window-backward ()
  "Goto previous window"
  (interactive)
  (other-window -1))
(global-set-key (kbd "\C-x p") 'other-window-backward)
