Excellent! I really like this. I currently use both bs-show and ido for buffer selection but I could easily be convinced to use this instead of bs-show. Some comments: > The buffer has some special key-bindings: I have a problem with the current bindings: you are (I guess) trying to emulate dired to some degree (cf. bindings for RET, 'd', 'o' [1] and 'x'). It would be nice therefore to have movement bindings as well ('n' and 'p'). I can obviously bind these myself but 'p' is already taken and it would be nice to be as consistent with the defaults as possible. Maybe 'P' for properties on/off? When I tried column view, the default widths are much too wide for my netbook. Can these be changed? More importantly, when I left column view, the buffer view was now different than the original view. Originally, I had two levels (mode + buffer) and now it was a single level (buffer). How do I get back to mode+buffer two level view? Thanks again! eric Footnotes: [1] I found 'o' initially annoying as knowing that I was in org, I expected it to behave like 'o' in agenda (hide other window)...
