I'm wondering why you're singling out non-file buffers here... But in general, it seems to me that these keystrokes aren't that much more efficient than just C-x b scr RET or something. > 2.)

I don't quite see the utility here. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
