Tabbed browsing in Gnu Emacs

Tabbed browsing in Gnu Emacs

[Davin Pearson]

Isn't it about time the developers
of Gnu Emacs thought about
implementing a tabbed-browsing
feature similar to XEmacs and
Mozilla Firefox.

Such a feature would be
appreciated greatly by Emacs
novices.

This might be what you want,

But really, ido is the most efficient way of switching buffers..

It works for me.  Thank you for pointing
out the link for me!  Wouldn't it be a
good idea if this feature was included
with Gnu Emacs?

Hi Davin,

See

,----[ C-h f ido-mode RET ]
| ido-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `ido.el'.
| (ido-mode &optional ARG)
| 
| Toggle ido speed-ups on or off.
| With ARG, turn ido speed-up on if arg is positive, off otherwise.
| Turning on ido-mode will remap (via a minor-mode keymap) the default
| keybindings for the `find-file' and `switch-to-buffer' families of
| commands to the ido versions of these functions.
| However, if ARG arg equals 'files, remap only commands for files, or
| if it equals 'buffers, remap only commands for buffer switching.  This
| function also adds a hook to the minibuffer.
`----

If you don't know it, give it a try.

Bye,
Tassilo
