I feel a bit lost because emacs doesn't show tabs. I work on multiple projects, I get distracted by various things, but when I come back to the seat it is the tabs that remind me which project I was last working on. I know C-x C-b pops it up, but involves multiple keys and it also takes a a lot of screen real estate. I'm wondering how others overcame this. -Sam
