28 ;; The bs-package contains a main function bs-show for poping up a
29 ;; buffer in a way similar to `list-buffers' and `electric-buffer-list':
30 ;; The new buffer offers a Buffer Selection Menu for manipulating
31 ;; the buffer list and buffers.

43 ;;; Quick Installation und Customization:
47 ;; for buffer selection or optional bind a key to main function `bs-show'
48 ;; (global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'bs-show) ;; or another key
50 ;; For customization use
56 ;; bs-show will generate a new buffer named *buffer-selection*, which shows
57 ;; all buffers or a subset of them, and has possibilities for deleting,
58 ;; saving and selecting buffers. For more details see docstring of
59 ;; function `bs-mode'. A current configuration describes which buffers appear
60 ;; in *buffer-selection*. See docstring of variable `bs-configurations' for
63 ;; The package bs combines the advantages of the Emacs functions
64 ;; `list-buffers' and `electric-buffer-list'.
66 ;; Additional features for Buffer Selection Menu:
67 ;; - configurable list of buffers (show only files etc.).
68 ;; - comfortable way to change displayed subset of all buffers.
69 ;; - show sorted list of buffers.
70 ;; - cyclic navigation:
71 ;; - goes to top of buffer list if you are on last line and press down.
72 ;; - goes to end of buffer list if you are on first line and press up.
73 ;; - Offer an alternative buffer list by prefix key C-u.
75 ;;; Cycling through buffers
77 ;; This package offers two functions for buffer cycling. If you want to cycle
78 ;; through buffer list you can use `bs-cycle-next' or `bs-cycle-previous'.
79 ;; Bind these function to a key like
80 ;; (global-set-key [(f9)] 'bs-cycle-previous)
81 ;; (global-set-key [(f10)] 'bs-cycle-next)
83 ;; Both functions use a special subset of all buffers for cycling to avoid
84 ;; to go through internal buffers like *Messages*.
86 ;; Cycling through buffers ignores sorting because sorting destroys
87 ;; the logical buffer list. If buffer list is sorted by size you
88 ;; won't be able to cycle to the smallest buffer.
92 ;; There is a customization group called `bs' in group `convenience'.
93 ;; Start customization by M-x bs-customize
97 ;; You can define your own configurations by extending variable
98 ;; `bs-configurations' (see docstring for details).
100 ;; `bs-default-configuration' contains the name of default configuration.
101 ;; The default value is "files" which means to show only files.
103 ;; If you always want to see all buffers, customize variable
104 ;; `bs-default-configuration' in customization group `bs'.
108 ;; You can define functions for sorting the buffer list.
109 ;; When selecting buffers, you can step through available sorting
110 ;; methods with key 'S'.
111 ;; To define a new way of sorting, customize variable `bs-sort-functions'.
113 ;; There are four basic functions for sorting:
114 ;; by buffer name, by mode, by size, or by filename
116 ;; Configure buffer cycling
117 ;; ------------------------
118 ;; When cycling through buffer list the functions for cycling will use
119 ;; the current configuration of bs to calculate the buffer list.
120 ;; If you want to use a different configuration for cycling you have to set
121 ;; the variable `bs-cycle-configuration-name'. You can customize this variable.
123 ;; For example: If you use the configuration called "files-and-scratch" you
124 ;; can cycle through all file buffers and *scratch* although your current
125 ;; configuration perhaps is "files" which ignores buffer *scratch*.
