The buffer list (C-x C-b) has abbreviated buffer names. Also the size and mode columns I rarely use. I began to look for an option to customize the buffer list or an alternative to it. I started to look at the code for buffer-list() and I got scared. It is twisted and it uses function names beginning with an uppercase letter! Couldn't find any customization. I found the well-hidden ibuffer, but that didn't give me what I was seeking. I found Buffer Menu Plus (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BufferMenuPlus) and that allows hiding the mode. Anyone have recommendations for any other solutions? Thanks
