I am very glad with this: (require 'bs) (global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'bs-show) ;; invoke buffer-list with C-F11 (global-set-key [(control f11)] 'bs-show) and this: ;; M-F12 opens a buffer that contains the recent opened buffers ;;recentf (require 'recentf) (recentf-mode 1) (setq recentf-max-saved-items 500) (setq recentf-max-menu-items 60) (global-set-key [(control f12)] 'recentf-open-files) rainer
