With chord bindings, you could use these commands to easily and quickly cycle among buffers. A glance at the subject of switching buffers at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CategoryBufferSwitching shows that such buffer cycling is a need that has been answered many times by many different libraries. However, the default bindings for these commands are `C-x ' and `C-x ', which are not chords, so cannot be simply pressed and held to cycle among buffers. Can we find some available chord bindings and change these defaults? (In my own Emacs I use `C-' and `M-', but I'm not suggesting that those are particularly good choices - they just happened to be available to me.) - Drew
