How to change between buffers?

How to change between buffers?

[Paminu]

I have split my emacs in two buffers. Are there some kind of keyboard
shortcut that shifts between a buffer that has been split in two?

are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.       -- H. L. Mencken

Is C-x o what you need?

,----[ C-h k C-x o ]
| C-x o runs the command other-window
| (other-window ARG &optional ALL-FRAMES)
|    which is an interactive built-in function.
| 
| Select the ARG'th different window on this frame.
| All windows on current frame are arranged in a cyclic order.
| This command selects the window ARG steps away in that order.
| A negative ARG moves in the opposite order.  If the optional second
| argument ALL_FRAMES is non-nil, cycle through all frames.
`----

Albert.

No.  But when you have two windows in an emacs frame, you can switch
from one window to the other with: C-x o
or:                                M-x other-window RET

In EMACS-speak,  a buffer cannot be split because it's not a display
element.  Here's the definitions that are used in EMACsia:

buffer - any file that is open in EMACS.
window - any view of a buffer
frame  - the X-window in which one or more EMACS windows reside

hi,

look at the result of C-h b (runs the command describe-bindings).

you will find

  C-x o runs the command other-window

there is also the command

  bury-buffer is an interactive built-in function.
  (bury-buffer &optional BUFFER)

  Put BUFFER at the end of the list of all buffers.
  There it is the least likely candidate for `other-buffer' to return;
  thus, the least likely buffer for M-x switch-to-buffer to select by default.
  If BUFFER is nil or omitted, bury the current buffer.
  Also, if BUFFER is nil or omitted, remove the current buffer from the
  selected window if it is displayed there.

you may bind it to key of your choice.

have fun

martin
