Subject: rotating between = buffers

 

Hello,<= /p>

I am trying to = convince a co-worker to use emacs. He will do it if there is a key stroke that = will allow him to rotate between active buffers, like alt-tab = in windows allows you to cycle through windows.<= /p>

I am totally = down with ctrl-x b to go to a named buffer, and ctrl-x = ctrl-b to get the buffer list, and even control –left = click to get a buffer menu pop-up… but It has to be a keystroke according to = him.. <= /p>

So is there any = such command built in to emacs to do this, or does anyone have something I = can add on?<= /p>

 <= /p>

Thanks in = advance!<= /p>
