Multiple Windows/Buffers in Emacs

Emacs is like an endless box of goodies. Some of the basics I know well and a few advanced tricks. But then, I miss some of the other basics in my daily usage. Here is a tip that I donot want to forget, so figure, posting it here..

stealing from that page:

Emacs window keybinding quick reference

Ctrl-x 2 splits the current window vertically.
Ctrl-x 3 splits the window horizontally.
Ctrl-x o cycles through the windows, left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
Ctrl-x ^ grows the active window one line.
Ctrl-x } widens the active window.
Ctrl-x { narrows the active window.
Ctrl-x + resizes all windows to equal size (height).
Ctrl-x 0 closes the active window.
Ctrl-x 1 closes all but the active window.
Ctrl-Meta-v scrolls the text in the next (i.e., not active) window.
Meta-x compare-windows searches for and jumps to mismatching text.
