switch buffer in one of splitted windows

switch buffer in one of splitted windows

[lehe]

While working with two splited windows, I am trying to switch buffer in one
window by first switching cursor to that window, then listing existing
buffers by "C-x C-b" but always end up with listing the existing buffers in
the other window. If I switch to the other window to select one buffer, then
the buffer will be shown in that window instead of the one I want. How to do
it correctly? Thanks for your help!

does it help if you put
(add-to-list 'same-window-buffer-names "*Buffer List*") in your .emacs ?

C-x 4 b     also comes to mind, especially if you use Iswitchb
for more details see (info "(emacs)Iswitchb")

That is a great suggestion.  I'm considering using that instead of 
what's been in my ~/.emacs for at least a decade:

;;; Override existing keybindings:
(global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'electric-buffer-list) ; list-buffers
