Title: previous-buffer Ref: sub20 Author: Jon Green Date: 2001-08-23 As of the July 2001 release then previous buffer may be evaluated using:- -1 next-buffer Hence a key binding in the July 2001 release should be defined as follows. Assuming that "f6" allows you to move between the previous and next buffers, the binding may be defined as follows:- -1 global-bind-key next-buffer "S-f6" ; previous-buffer global-bind-key next-buffer "f6" ; next-buffer If you require a command called "previous-buffer" then define the macro as follows:- define-macro previous-buffer &neg @# next-buffer !emacro The @# processing propagates the numeric argument so 2 previous-buffer goes back 2 buffers, -2 previous-buffer goes forward 2 buffers !!
