Is there a way to switch among splitted windows counter-clockwisely in Emacs?

[meili100]

I know this thread is a little off-topic, but since most of C++ programmers use emacs, I think this question is interested by many C++ programmers:

Suppose you have 5 splitted windows and you are in window 2. You want to switch to window 1. I know a way to switch to the next window is Ctrl-x o, but you have to switch 4 times to window 1. Is there a way to switch counter-clockwisely?

Thanks

perhaps write it into your .emacs file?

Thanks. That sounds a good idea. But I am not sure what to write to the .emacs file

Decide what key combination you want to use. Suppose you choose C-x p. Add this to your .emacs file:

(global-set-key "\C-xp" 'switch-prev)

(defun switch-prev () (interactive) "Switch to previous buffer"
  (other-window -1))

EDIT: There is no typo in the above code

There's a forum for off-topic questions, you know. Two of them, actually.

Or "C-U -1 C-X o" will do that for you.

And there is already a function "backward-other-window", which in my Xemacs is bound to Ctrl-Shift-Tab.
