killing completion buffers

killing completion buffers

[Kester Clegg]

Just looked in the manual in the bit about completion - there doesn't
seem to be a way of automatically killing off completion buffers.  That
is, the possible completions pop up, I see the one I want and type it.
The file loads but behind it, the completion buffer (and hundreds
others) are still hanging around.

Anyone got any tips?

Not directly, you can use a timer to kill all buffer you don't want
from time to time, but if you only care about Completion buffers, i
don't understand your problem? Here is just one *Completion* buffer
that is reused every time completion is called....

Perhaps what is needed is a smarter version of iswitchb that skips *foo* 
buffers...

I have iswitchb-buffer-ignore here, but i'm not sure if that is a cvs
feature...
