[ jEdit-users ] RE: Switch Buffer

[Dave B. <da...@po...>]

Follow up from private mail :-

Quite often I'll have a jEdit session with lots of buffers (>20) open, but
I'll be switching between two or three of them often.  It'd be nice if I
could say Buffer "docs.bml" is C-1, and "docs2.bml" is C-2, and "docs3.bml"
is C-3.  Even if I had to open the switchbuffer dialog first - which is on a
shortcut anyway.  I reckon this is a fairly common configuration - if it's
not, then I'll just have a play with the source on my own (if it's
available).

Incidentally, there seems to be a tiny bug, it doesn't work for the first
character typed.  It seems to be close, but not quite.  If the source is
available for this, I'll take a look if you want (promise I'll be careful!)

Thanks again,
Dave
