Re: other-window-or-buffer
> Just out of curiousity, which keybinding have you replaced? C-x o or > C-x b ? The keybinding it replaces is actually C-kp-next, but that's because, in order to reduce the load on my hands (I have RSI) I have a set of footswitch units daisy-chained onto the keyboard, each unit having three buttons (large central one, small one on each side), the left one doing Ctrl, Shift and Meta, and the right one doing various commands, bound to some keys that I wasn't using but can be read with a full set of modifiers. So as I see it, the keybinding is "leftmost switch on the left foot and rightmost switch on the right foot"! I originally had this bound the same as C-x o, but then realized that (pedal allocation being a scarce resource) I was wasting a useful pedal combination when there was only one window, so I wrote this. (I have developed some software that lets you put different kinds of movement easily onto the cursor keys, and I use this with the left and middle pedals on the right, with modifiers -- I'll be posting this soon. And the rightmost right pedal brings up a slightly hacked tmm (text mode menu), the other right-foot pedals navigate the menu tree when in tmm, and the "menu" pedal again selects the current entry. I can recommend this setup highly to anyone who wants to offload some of the work from their hands.) ___ gnu-emacs-sources mailing list gnu-emacs-sources@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources

There are many ways to cycle through buffers. Have a look at this discussion and comparison: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SwitchingBuffers. ___ gnu-emacs-sources mailing list gnu-emacs-sources@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources

other-window-or-buffer
Here's one of those "commands I wouldn't be without", to avoid all that
typing of buffer names (and all that hurried mistyping of buffer
names).
(defun other-window-or-buffer ()
(interactive)
"Switch to the next window, or, if there is only one window, the next
buffer.
If done repeatedly when there is only one window, keeps getting
different
buffers from the buffer list"
(setq other-window-or-buffer-consecutive-count
(if (eq last-command 'other-window-or-buffer)
(1+ other-window-or-buffer-consecutive-count)
1))
(if (one-window-p)
(if (<= other-window-or-buffer-consecutive-count 2)
(switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))
(switch-to-buffer (nth other-window-or-buffer-consecutive-count
(buffer-list)))
(message "Next one will be %s"
(buffer-name (nth (1+
other-window-or-buffer-consecutive-count)
(buffer-list)
(if (<= other-window-or-buffer-consecutive-count 2)
(other-window 1)
