Description
Visual buffer switching using a window grid (ace-window key hints are optional):
Installation
For manual installation, clone the repository and call:
(package-install-file "/path/to/buffer-expose.el")
Config
To use the default bindings for switching buffers with buffer-expose use buffer-expose-mode:
(buffer-expose-mode 1)
The default bindings are defined in buffer-expose-mode-map:
(defvar buffer-expose-mode-map
(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
(define-key map (kbd "<s-tab>") 'buffer-expose)
(define-key map (kbd "<C-tab>") 'buffer-expose-no-stars)
(define-key map (kbd "C-c <C-tab>") 'buffer-expose-current-mode)
(define-key map (kbd "C-c C-m") 'buffer-expose-major-mode)
(define-key map (kbd "C-c C-d") 'buffer-expose-dired-buffers)
(define-key map (kbd "C-c C-*") 'buffer-expose-stars)
map)
"Mode map for command `buffer-expose-mode'.")
There are user options to customize which buffers are shown and you can easily write your own command, like this:
(defun my-expose-command (&optional max)
(interactive "P")
(buffer-expose-show-buffers
<your-buffer-list> max [<hide-regexes> <filter-func>]))
