buffer list sequence

buffer list sequence

[Samuel Wales]

when i do delete-other-windows, soimetims i wasnt to go to the bufeer
iwhose window i  just deelted .  but i dont knoww hwat it is.

i'[d like for it to be in the buffer list right next tot the current
buffer so i can just do prev or next buffer.

sometimes it is not there.  there is fancy burying or special cases of
*buffer* and maybe more things like that [certainly also with "
buffer"].

If it's the last buffer you were in before switching to the current one,
it'll be next in the list.

The previous buffer will be last one you buried.

You'll probably have to customize/advice `delete-other-windows' to do
one of the above, if you want it consistently.

thanks.

do you maen visit all other windows?  or bury them?  ugh.

apropos of nothing, in old code [i am less capable of coding now]
sometimes i do (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer)) which sometimes
fixes buffer liust problems.  i do not know why as it looks like it
should be a no-op but i ahve no idea.

One reason I can think of for that is if a `switch-to-buffer' somewhere
used the NORECORD option. Your code would undo that.

You should also read (info "(elisp) Buffer List")
