Re: how to switch to last visited buffer in other window ?

[Ben Barrowes]

This just switches to the next buffer window in some predetermined list. 
I want to go to the last buffer visited before the current buffer 
regardless of how I got there.

BTW, other-buffer didn't do anything on my emacs, other-window worked, 
though...
