What I actually do is three things. * First, there is tabbar-mode with a grouping function that assigns a single group to each window (not frame) and groups buffers by the window they were last seen in. (The =E2=80=9Clast seen in=E2=80=9D informat= ion is tracked by a hook.) I use M-S-/ to switch tabs and never switch groups. * Second, M-S- calls ibuffer (in the current window), allowing me to select a buffer if it=E2=80=99s too far away or bring a buffer from a different window. * Third, M-S- is bound to dired-jump, letting me navigate buffers according to the filesystem-based relationships.
