I might be missing something, but isn't tabbar.el sufficient? http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/TabBarMode >From tabbar.el: ;; Buffer tabs ;; ----------- ;; ;; The default tab bar implementation provided displays buffers in ;; dedicated tabs. Selecting a tab, switch (mouse-1), or pop ;; (mouse-2), to the buffer it contains. ;; ;; The list of buffers put in tabs is provided by the function ;; specified in the variable `tabbar-buffer-list-function'. The ;; default function: `tabbar-buffer-list', excludes buffers whose name ;; starts with a space, when they are not visiting a file. ;; ;; Buffers are organized in groups, each one represented by a tab set. ;; A buffer can have no group, or belong to more than one group. The ;; function specified by the variable `tabbar-buffer-groups-function' ;; is called for each buffer to obtain the groups it belongs to. The ;; default function provided: `tabbar-buffer-groups' organizes buffers ;; depending on their major mode (see that function for details). ;; ;; The "home" button toggles display of buffer groups on the tab bar, ;; allowing to easily show another buffer group by clicking on the ;; associated tab. rsi
