kill other buffer

kill other buffer

[Rami A]

Greetings,
I usually start emacs with split screen horizontally.
I have F3 programmed to kill-this-buffer "kills the current buffer without confirmation"

How would I have [S-F3] programmed to kill the buffer in the other window without confirmation and without deleting the window itself? "I would like to keep emacs split horizontally".

Thanks.

(defun kill-other-buffer ()
  (interactive)
  (other-window 1)
  (kill-this-buffer)
  (other-window 1))

with more windows you'd have to rewrite it, so probably not the most
elegant solution

you could try 'winner-mode' and bind [S-F3] to winner-undo, that would
not kill the other buffer, but go back to the last window configuration(s),
that might show other buffers in the other window and thus hide the current
buffer in that window.
