Is there a way that makes it easier to navigate through buffers? What I
would really like is something like alt-tab to popup a list of recent
buffer to quickly switch back and forth between them. Does such an
extension exist?
S.
Stefan,
C-x b creates a list of open buffers.
The following code, in your init.el uses Ibuffer instead of buffer
for this, and makes it open in a new frame.
The frame is left open after you switch buffers, but that shouldn't
be a problem.
HTH,

(require 'ibuffer)
(global-set-key [(control x) (control b)] 'ibuffer-list-buffers)
(define-key ibuffer-mode-map [return] 'ibuffer-visit-buffer-other-window)
(setq special-display-buffer-names
'(
("*Ibuffer*"
(modeline . nil) (unsplittable . nil)
(top-toolbar-visible-p . nil) (menubar-visible-p . nil)
(height . 10) (width . 70) (top . 0) (left . 444)
(auto-raise-mode . t))
))
