compiling and multiple windows

make the edit-compile-run-debug cycle more efficient!

action emacs vim (in command mode)
another file in second horizontal window control-x 2, control-x control-f :split file
move cursor to other window control-x o control-w arrow_key
compile program control-c c (runs compile command) :make (runs makefile)
see next error control-c n :copen opens window with errors, :cclose closes window

Our window manager (FVWM) will display a list of current windows if you hit control-escape. You can use this to jump between two windows you are frequently using (e.g., emacs and an xterm): control-escape-1.
