Yes, it makes sense to have the following composite buffer-list: window-local buffer-list tab-local buffer-list frame-local buffer-list global buffer-list frame-local buried-buffer-list tab-local buried-buffer-list window-local buried-buffer-list But how would you implement tab-local buffer-list without modifying frame-local buffer-list? > Can tab-bar live with the fact that a user switches buffers without > using tab-bar and thus `select-window' changes the list? A user can switch buffers inside the same tab - this modifies the frame-local (tab-local) buffer-list. A user can switch tabs without using tab-bar - this updates the frame-local (tab-local) buffer-list with the buffer-list of another tab. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
