Maybe you could just show the N most recent buffers that fit in the tabBar. To switch to a less recent buffer you could still use C-c b. As an added bonus, we could sort the tabBar by recent usage. This way, having many open files is not so expensive anymore. And frequently toggling between two files becomes a very cheap operation. Maurizio
