@cindex window configuration changes, undoing
-@kbd{M-x winner-mode} provides a global minor mode that records the
-changes in the window configuration (i.e. how the frames are partitioned
-into windows) so that the changes can be `undone' using the command
-@kbd{M-x winner-undo}, bound to @kbd{C-x left} by default. If you
-change your mind (while undoing), you can use @kbd{M-x winner-redo}
-(@kbd{C-x right}). You can also turn on Winner mode by customizing
-@code{winner-mode}.

@cindex windows, synchronizing
@cindex synchronizing windows
-Follow minor mode (@kbd{M-x follow-mode}) synchronizes several windows
-on the same buffer so that they always display adjacent sections of that
-buffer. Also if point moves outside a window, another window displaying
-that point is selected if possible, so that you can move between windows
-with normal movement commands. You can use this facility, for instance,
-to operate effectively with double the number of lines of a file visible
-in a given screen height using side-by-side windows on the same buffer:
-split the window with @kbd{C-x 3} and then use @kbd{M-x follow-mode} to
-synchronize the windows.

-@cindex cursor in non-selected windows
-@vindex show-cursor-in-non-selected-windows
-@vindex cursor-in-non-selected-windows
-Normally, the cursor in non-selected windows is shown as a hollow box.
-If you want Emacs not to display the cursor in non-selected windows,
-customize the option @code{show-cursor-in-non-selected-windows}, or set
-the variable @code{cursor-in-non-selected-windows} to a non-@code{nil}
-value.
+ Follow minor mode (@kbd{M-x follow-mode}) synchronizes several
+windows on the same buffer so that they always display adjacent
+sections of that buffer. Also if point moves outside a window, it
+moves automatically to another window which shows that part of the
+buffer, if any. Thus, the windows act like one large window on
+the buffer.
+
+ One use of this feature is to effectively double the number of lines
+in a given screen height, using side-by-side windows on the same
+buffer. First split a window into side-by-side windows with @kbd{C-x
+3}, then use @kbd{M-x follow-mode} to synchronize the windows.
