Is there a way to customize how the buffer list appears in the mini buffer? I think more visual differentiation would be a good idea, maybe by customizing separators, colors, word space, etc.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Call iflip-next-buffer to make some buffer the current iflipb buffer
2. M-x ibuffer

After doing so, the name of the current iflipb buffer will be shown using iflipb-current-buffer-face inside Ibuffer. I've been able to reproduce this on Emacs 28.1, with iflip as the only external package installed.

hi, there!

I'm relatively new to emacs so if you have an tips for how I can debug this kind of thing on my own in the future I'd love to hear your input :)

when I open a file, replacing the currently opened file in my emacs buffer - either with C-x C-f (spacemacs/helm-find-files) or with helm-projectile-find-file, it becomes the last file in my iflipb stack. That is to say, if I am viewing file A, open file B, then execute iflipb-next-buffer, it takes me to the file before A, and then iflip-previous-buffer takes me back to A. But B is way back at the end.

thanks so much for your help :):)

Hi!

I often create multiple windows with the intention of using different sets of buffers in each.

So it would be really great if this package could be configured so as to, for each window, start with the buffers most recently displayed in that window, and then show the rest from the global list.

I'm not sure which data to use as the basis for this feature, but there is the quit-restore window parameter, and alternatively it could just use its own history (based on which buffers I switched from and to with iflipb in each window).

Where it says:

(not (or (eq last-command 'iflipb-next-buffer)
          (eq last-command 'iflipb-previous-buffer))))

I found it useful to change it to this:

[ something that also checks if last-command is kill-buffer ]

This facilitates cleaning up my buffer list, since I often see a buffer I don't need anymore when I cycle the list using iflipb. With my improvement, I can kill it without losing my place in the list.

(Edited: the first version of the above code was incorrect, but please see below)

Hi,

I really love the package.
I have a improvement request as similarly discussed in the Wiki: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/iflipb

atomic flip
I want to be able to switch between the two most recently used buffers by pressing C-tab and then releasing both key.
Then if I hit C-tab again I get back to the before buffer.

iterative flip
Holding down C and pressing tab repeatedly I can switch between all last recently used buffer.

At the moment I have something like this:

(defun iflipb-atomic-flip () 
  (interactive) 
  (iflipb-next-buffer nil) 
  (iflipb-select-buffer 1))
 
(bind-key* "C-`" 'iflipb-atomic-flip)
(bind-key* "<C-tab>" 'iflipb-next-buffer)
(bind-key* "<C-iso-lefttab>" 'iflipb-previous-buffer)

Do you see a way to combining them into a general C-tab?
