Windows

A window is a Lisp object representing a window (a rectangular section of the display) open in the windowing-system you are running Jade in.

Windows have two main functions, firstly to provide a means of seeing the contents of a buffer and secondly to receive input events. For more details about event handling see section Event Loop.

A window always displays a buffer and there is always at least one window open. The editor remembers which of the open windows is the current window, this is normally the window it last received an input event from, though it can be set by programs.

For some basic details about using windows see section Using Windows.
