Adding a menu bar entry under Terminal that lists all terminal buffers would be easy enough to add -- but I'm not sure it would be very useful. As you point out, the terminal buffers usually have very similar names (*ansi-term*<1>, *ansi-term*<2>...). But perhaps the new menu thing could also try to list some other distinguishing factors, like the current working directory? Is there anything else we could use? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
