Jumping to the previous window
In a multi-window setup with a terminal, I often find myself having to jump between the terminal and a specific window.
Until now, I had been using the evil-window-<direction> commands:
| Shortcut | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
SPC w l |
evil-window-right |
move to window right of current |
SPC w h |
evil-window-left |
move to window left of current |
SPC w j |
evil-window-down |
move to window below current |
SPC w k |
evil-window-up |
move to window above current |
This gets a bit repetitive when say you’re moving from the terminal on the bottom to a window on the far right.

Recently, I came across evil-window-mru, bound to SPC w C-p. It jumps to the
last window you used.

So if you go from any window to the terminal with SPC o t, you can get right
back with SPC w C-p. Wish I’d have found this earlier!
