Does anyone know of a way I could set up a similar navigation system that only navigates through *scratch* and files I have opened myself, i.e. not some temporary buffer a function or mode has created or opened. There are many libraries that let you quickly switch among existing buffers (ignoring the temporary buffers you want to ignore). Here is a good place to start: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SwitchingBuffers. I (naturally) recommend my own library, Icicles, which does what you want (IIUC) and more. The library is here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/icicles.el. Doc is here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Icicles. HTH.
