I don't think I should have to read minibuffer.el to discover that. I can get the information from the user manual, but the docstring of switch-to-buffer doesn't help me get there. It says: See `read-buffer' for features related to input and completion of buffer names. read-buffer's docstring then leads to completing-read, which in turn points at the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.[1] In short: there's a missing link, and I'm not sure where to put it. Robert Footnotes: [1] Info-goto-node only works if you're in an *info* file. Should it be taught to work from *Help* buffers as well? Or perhaps "(filename)Node name" strings should be clickable?
