;;; buffer.el --- Working with Emacs buffers -*- lexical-binding: t -*- ;; Author: William Carroll ;;; Commentary: ;; Utilities for CRUDing buffers in Emacs. ;; ;; Many of these functions may seem unnecessary especially when you consider ;; there implementations. In general I believe that Elisp suffers from a ;; library disorganization problem. Providing simple wrapper functions that ;; rename functions or reorder parameters is worth the effort in my opinion if ;; it improves discoverability (via intuition) and improve composability. ;; ;; I support three ways for switching between what I'm calling "source code ;; buffers": ;; 1. Toggling previous: ;; 2. Using `ivy-read': b ;; TODO: These obscure evil KBDs. Maybe a hydra definition would be best? ;; 3.
