I don't understand.

And, if you bind bs-show to C-x b or C-x C-b, that's *exactly* what you can do: C-x b (or whatever), click or select with arrows, RET, and you're on the desired buffer. In fact, bs-show provides also bs-next and bs-prev to ease switching buffers withouth showing the list, and ways to configure which buffers are displayed, and to switch between configurations (so showing only "relevant" buffers, or all buffers, is trivial). Since I loaded bs.el in my .emacs years ago, I haven't used *any* other command to switch buffers. /L/e/k/t/u
