Per frame buffer list

Per frame buffer list

[Greg Bognar]

If you open a buffer in a new frame and return to the original frame, the
newly created buffer appears in the buffer list in the original frame and
you can switch to the buffer in this frame.  Is it possible to change this
behavior?  The idea would be to have buffers associated with only one
frame, so there could be "dedicated" frames.  For instance, you could
dedicate one frame to working on lisp files, another to email, etc.  I've
looked around, but I haven't found anything.

Here's one approach to one-buffer-per-frame (by default): http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OneOnOneEmacs.

Sorry, I think I mis-read your post. You're speaking of the buffer list associated with a frame; I thought you were asking about having only one buffer per frame.

I have a mode that I've written to achieve this that I've been
intending to clean up and make publicly release-able.  Let me know if
you'd like a copy.  (You'd sort of be an alpha tester for it, though.)
