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!).

You can download the .emacs from here:
