I like to use next-buffer bound to a key to cycle through the open buffers. I googled around and found buffer-stack.el, which kind of minimizes the problem by keeping the less recently used buffers at the bottom of the stack, however it's still annoying to have the clutter around. It's actually pretty surprising nobody has made a fix for this. > P.S. If you're not, you should probably be using IDO[1]. Thanks, but I'm not looking to change my behavior to fit emacs, but the other way around :)
