Thanks! That is really cool, I didn't know about clicking on the buffer
name to roate... Now to find which command it is running....

In Emacs 21.1 and later this can be done by clicking on the buffer name
in the mode line, left click to go to the previous buffer, right click
to go to the next buffer.  If he just has to have it assigned to a key
that can be done in his .emacs. Since the function is assigned to a
mouse click all that would need to be done to assign it to a key is find
out which function switches buffers and put the statement in his .emacs
to assign the functions to keys.

Hello,

I am trying to convince a co-worker to use emacs. He will do it if there
is a key stroke that will allow him to rotate between active buffers,
like alt-tab in windows allows you to cycle through windows.

I am totally down with ctrl-x b to go to a named buffer, and ctrl-x
ctrl-b to get the buffer list, and even control -left click to get a
buffer menu pop-up... but It has to be a keystroke according to him.. 

So is there any such command built in to emacs to do this, or does
anyone have something I can add on?

 

Thanks in advance!
