Now I'm trying to bring this to the other application I spend a lot of time on: my web browser. I usually have about 20 web browser tabs open at any given time, and using the mouse to go to a specific tab just breaks my flow. I'm sure it's the same for other people. How do you guys overcome this? Is there a chrome extension I haven't learnt about yet? I found two extensions Emacsome and ChromEmacs, with the first one attempting to do what I want (but not going all the way) If there's none out there, I guess I will just be hacking/forking Emacsome to add the features I like to see. Basically C-x b to switch buffers with helm/ido like autocompletion Inside it, C-n and C-p to browse the suggestions Is the author of Emacsome in here by any chance?
