You can kill the other buffers the same way you kill the one you're
in--with the C-x k command. When you use it just type in the name of
the buffer you want killed. It'll delete that one rather than the one
you're in.

You can use C-x 1 to close all other buffers except the one you current in
You also can use C-x 0 to close your current active buffer

  You also can use C-x 0 to close your current active buffer

I almost replied with the same advice earlier, but I think the poster asked
about "closing files", which in Emacs corresponds closest to killing their
buffers.

What you describe does not kill the buffers; it merely deletes the windows
displaying them. Maybe that's good enough for the OP, but it is not really
what was requested.

No.  At least, not a standard one.

As an alternative, try this:  With C-x C-b, get a list of buffers, and
with C-x o (that's "control-x oh") go to that list.  Use D to mark each
buffer you want to kill.  (C-d can be useful, too; use U to unmark
buffers you didn't really mean to mark.)  Finally, type X to delete the
lot of them.

Kill other buffers

[Pedro Sa da Costa]

Suppose that i have 3 files opened in emacs.

Now, i'm in file 1 and i want to close file 2 and file 3. There is any 
short- key to close (kill) other buffers opened, while i'm in file 1?

Thanks,
Pedro

Try `M-x electric-buffer-list'.  I prefer it to list-buffers, so I
override the default binding:

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'electric-buffer-list)

Right, or try that:

(defun kill-all-buffers (&optional arg)
  "with arg, save all buffers before deleting them"
  (interactive "P")
  (if arg
      (save-some-buffers))
  (let ((pufferliste (buffer-list)))
    (while pufferliste
      (progn
        (if (not (equal (car pufferliste) (current-buffer)))
            (kill-buffer (car pufferliste)))
        (setq pufferliste (cdr pufferliste))))))

;; make a key at `C-c k' 
(global-set-key "\C-ck" 'kill-all-buffers)

ar

Wow!  You're a brave, brave man!  With a binding like that in my .emacs,
I'd be trembling in fear every time I did C-x k, lest I accidentally
wiped out everything.
