What did you search? This information is in the Emacs manual, which is available on-line from within Emacs. Type "i C-x b" inside Emacs's manual, and you will be led to the section which explains the command "C-x b", and has a cross-reference to the section about completion. (Note: You should type the literal characters C - x b after `i' in the above command, not press Ctrl and hit x as usual.) > 1: To switch to another buffer, after issue C-x b, and type something in minibuffer followed by Tab for completion, > is there any way to scroll through those possible completions in minibuffer, instead of having to type more words > or go to the newly opened buffer to chose one ? Type `?' after "C-x b", and Emacs will pop a window with possible completions.
