copied!<p>Here's a function that does what you want. After loading it into emacs, select the buffer you want to rearrange and do an <code>M-x my-shift-window-right</code>. You can also bind it to a key with <code>global-set-key</code>.</p> <pre><code>(defun my-shift-window-right (&optional start-window) "Reset the current window configuration with START-WINDOW on the right and the rest of the windows on the left. START-WINDOW defaults to the selected window. Return START-WINDOW, or nil if START-WINDOW isn't live or if there is only one visible window." (interactive (list (selected-window))) (if (or (one-window-p) (and start-window (not (window-live-p start-window)))) nil (let ((other-buffers '()) (start-window (or start-window (selected-window)))) ;; add all visible buffers other than the current one to other-buffers list (walk-windows #'(lambda (window) (when (not (eq window start-window)) (add-to-list 'other-buffers (window-buffer window))))) (delete-other-windows) ;; pop the first "other buffer" into a split window on the left (set-window-buffer (select-window (split-window start-window nil 'left)) (pop other-buffers)) ;; make a split window for each buffer in the "other-buffers" list ;; select the start-window and return it when finished (dolist (buffer other-buffers (select-window start-window)) (set-window-buffer (split-window (selected-window) nil 'above) buffer))))) </code></pre> <p>This function cycles through the other visible windows and stores each of their buffers in a list called <code>other-buffers</code>. Then it rearranges the windows the way you described by iterating over the <code>other-buffers</code> list.</p>
