I like the virtual buffers feature, but most of the time I switch to an existing bufer, so having a dozen virtual buffers in the list is just cruft. `auto' seems like the answer... except when I can not remember how the file was named. > So how about this: toggles virtual buffers temporarily, and if > `ido-use-virtual-buffers' is non-nil, then "no match" enables them, too. Similar to what I'm proposing, that is, that in `auto' mode, after "C-x b", should temporarily switch to `always'. > So basically, `ido-use-virtual-buffers' non-nil does what 'auto does > with Leo's patch now. =C2=A0There's no way to have virtual buffers per > default, which is pretty useless IMHO anyway. Difficult to say. I wouldn't be surprised to find people who wants the virtual buffers to be shown all the time. > I think should not only enable but toggle, because else I could > not create a new buffer "foo.a" if `ido-use-virtual-buffers' is non-nil. C-o already toggles it, i.e., C-x b foo.a C-o Juanma
