emacs-mission-control's Introduction

Misson control

This package provides a macOS mission-control-like way to switch between buffers.

mission control:

mcon-swith to open preview panel, use number to select buffer to switch to.

C TAB:

Press mcon-c-tab (C-S-tab on terminal) (mcon-c-tab-graphic) to open preview panel, mcon-c-tab (C-S-tab) to loop through them. After mcon-c-tab-timeout seconds of idle buffer will switch to the selected one.

Install

(require 'mission-control)
;; to use mcon-c-tab
(mcon-c-tab-setup-binding)

Functions

mcon-switch: switch between buffers
mcon-c-tab-graphic: switch between buffers. You can’t directly call this function though. Configure mcon-c-tab-key-list and call mcon-c-tab-setup-binding to bind keys.
