Buffer Concept

  • Buffers aren’t files!
  • You can view the same buffer in multiple places and/or ways.

Speeding Up Buffer Access

  • Two available modes
    • ido-mode (Emacs 22+)
    • iswitchb-mode (Emacs 21)
  • With either of these modes, you still use C-x b
  • Rotate through available buffers with C-s and C-r
  • Filter buffers by typing!
  • Kill buffers from the menu with C-k
  • Create a new buffer by typing the name
    • Press enter twice in ido-mode
    • Press y in iswitchb-mode

Selecting Buffers

  • Use C-x b

Killing Buffers

  • Use C-x k
