[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Sure, no problem at all. I use a tiling window manager. For this I have a script
for navigating between OS windows and for consistency I use the same script to
navigate windows in Emacs. The script uses emacsclient --eval “(evil-window-up
1)” to navigate a window up, if this fails it will call the window manager
instead because it means that there is no window in that direction. Because the
wait is now 2 seconds it takes 2 seconds to shift focus out of emacs. This might
be a minor nuisance but enough to be annoying.
