How to switch to the recent available buffer easily

How to switch to the recent available buffer easily

[Ronald]

I think ``C-x b ret" is not easy enough.
I find it is a common action for me recently.
Is there any good method?

I use cyclebuffer.el
When hitting f12 I switch to the previous buffer.

I use this

(global-set-key "\M-+" 'letztpuffer)

(defun letztpuffer ()
  " "
  (interactive)
  (switch-to-buffer (other-buffer)))

There are *many* good methods.  I prefer:

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'electric-buffer-list) ; was: list-buffers

Then `C-x C-b n SPC' to select the most recent buffer, or repeat
the `n' for less recent buffers.

I use this:

;; Cycle buffers #####################################
(autoload 'cyclebuffer-forward "cyclebuffer" "cycle forward" t)
(autoload 'cyclebuffer-backward "cyclebuffer" "cycle backward" t)
(global-set-key [?\C-x right] 'cyclebuffer-forward)
(global-set-key [?\C-x left] 'cyclebuffer-backward)

But tend to use iswitchb more often as I have a lot of buffers open:

Version 22.0.50 (and later) have next-buffer and previous-buffer
already mapped to C-x <right> and C-x <left>.

I bound some keys to next-buffer and previous-buffer (in cvs-emacs).  
Its good enough for me, but there are some other solutions.

Look here

Hope it helps

I don't find that to be true with:
GNU Emacs 22.0.92.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of 2006-12-21

Is it in some special mode?

Using:
GNU Emacs 22.0.92.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of 2006-12-21

That fails here.  I get this error after M-x eval-region on the code
then: C-x <left arrow>
 Loading /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/cyclebuffer.el (source)...

Strange it works fine for me (I am also using 22.0.92.1), C-x <left> is
bound to:

,----
| C-x <left> runs the command previous-buffer
|   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.

| <previous-buffer>. (previous-buffer)
| 
| Switch to the previous buffer in cyclic order.
`----

and C-x <right> is bound to:

,----
| C-x <right> runs the command next-buffer
|   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
| It is bound to C-x <C-right>, C-x <right>, <menu-bar> <buffer>

It looks like cyclebuffer.el is interferring here.

It's true with:
GNU Emacs 22.0.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2006-12-01
C-x <right> runs the command next-buffer
C-x <left> runs the command previous-buffer

Don't think so...

Yuck, I've apparently bound it to append-to-buffer at some point.

emacs -q --no-site-file 

and I see it works as advertised.

Looks like your region is the whole mail, starting with "From: ".  You
should probably eval a smaller region.

Good lord...  I don't believe I did that... and more than once too.
