Commentary
Purpose of this package:
1. Offer a function for letting the user choose buffer,
not necessarily for switching to it.
2. Make a better mouse-buffer-menu. This is done as a global
minor mode, msb-mode.
Customization:
Look at the variable `msb-menu-cond' for deciding what menus you
want. It's not that hard to customize, despite my not-so-good
doc-string. Feel free to send me a better doc-string.
There are some constants for you to try here:
msb--few-menus
msb--very-many-menus (default)
Look at the variable `msb-item-handling-function' for customization
of the appearance of every menu item. Try for instance setting
it to `msb-alon-item-handler'.
Look at the variable `msb-item-sort-function' for customization
of sorting the menus. Set it to t for instance, which means no
sorting - you will get latest used buffer first.
Also check out the variable `msb-display-invisible-buffers-p'.
Known bugs:
- Files-by-directory
+ No possibility to show client/changed buffers separately.
+ All file buffers only appear in a file sub-menu, they will
for instance not appear in the Mail sub-menu.
Future enhancements:
