• Installation

For manual installation, clone the repository and call:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp (package-install-file "/path/to/buffer-expose.el") #+END_SRC

• Config

To use the default bindings for switching buffers with buffer-expose use buffer-expose-mode:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp (buffer-expose-mode 1) #+END_SRC

The default bindings are defined in buffer-expose-mode-map:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp (defvar buffer-expose-mode-map (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap))) (define-key map (kbd "") 'buffer-expose) (define-key map (kbd "<C-tab>") 'buffer-expose-no-stars) (define-key map (kbd "C-c <C-tab>") 'buffer-expose-current-mode) (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-m") 'buffer-expose-major-mode) (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-d") 'buffer-expose-dired-buffers) (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-*") 'buffer-expose-stars) map) "Mode map for command `buffer-expose-mode'.") #+END_SRC

There are user options to customize which buffers are shown and you can easily write your own command, like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp (defun my-expose-command (&optional max) (interactive "P") (buffer-expose-show-buffers max [ ])) #+END_SRC
