Comment on Emacs as a tiling window manager

Comments

This is possible in Vim as well :D, check out -> http://amix.dk/blog/post/19403#Hacking-without-distractions

Regarding the moving between windows it can be done with following maps in Vim:

   map <C-j> <C-W>j
   map <C-k> <C-W>k
   map <C-h> <C-W>h
   map <C-l> <C-W>l

Not really. Vim can't run a command inside a window like Emacs.

His hack isn't about running commands inside Emacs, but Emacs in fullscreen mode and Emacs window management - and... Vim can do pretty much the same as what he shows in that blog post and in his screenshots.

His screenshot shows at least one window running a shell.
