** Module flags
This module provides two flags:
+ ~+ace-window~ Use avy (and ace-window) as the backend.
+ ~+switch-window~ Use switch-window as the backend.
If neither flag is specified, ~+ace-window~ will be used.
* Usage
This module remaps the function ~other-window~ to either ~switch-window~ or
~ace-window~ , depending on which backend you've enabled.
~other-window~ is bound to ~C-x o~ and ~SPC w o~ .
* Configuration
This module provides two backends, both providing the same functionality, but
with different visual cues. They are =ace-window= and =switch-window= .
