It selects and creates buffers with two-keystrokes sequences. I mapped it to the right Alt key. SELECT-l jump to last *.lisp/*.lsp file SELECT-L jump to or create ilisp Lisp buffer SELECT-c jump to last *.c/*.cpp file SELECT-c jump to last *.h/*.hh file SELECT-M jump to or load Makefile or GNUmakefile SELECT-M jump to or load README* in current dir SELECT-S jump to or create a shell buffer SELECT-Return<patter>Return jump to buffer matching <pattern> [etc. for m4, java info, manpages] If you are already on such a file then load the file with same characteristics that was second-to-last used. SELECT-SELECT go to previous buffer Especially this one is handy. Hit the right Alt key twice with your thumb and you switch between your Lisp file and your Lisp buffer, or your C file and the .h file. I also have all kinds of shortcuts, like a two-keystroke sequence to start C compilation and automatically figureing out whether you have Makefile or a GNUmakefile (geez!).
