Cycling among Emacs buffers using Ctrl + TAB or mouse navigation buttons
Hi,
I'm used to navigate Firefox tabs using Ctrl + TAB or mouse buttons. It's just a "die hard" habit. Emacs is awesome and you can easly customize it to provide this feature. Just edit your emacs config file:
hamen@sanniolug:~$ emacs .emacs
Append this line:
(global-set-key [(control tab)] 'crs-bury-buffer)
Reload .emacs or just restart emacs and you will navigate bufffers with Ctrl + TAB. If you already have a working "tons of buttons" mouse, you can identify nav buttons simply pressing them in emacs. Emacs will report, for instance, an errore like this:
mouse-8 is undefined
As above, just append this lines to your .emacs file:
(global-set-key [(mouse-8)] 'crs-bury-buffer)
(global-set-key [(mouse-9)] (lambda () (interactive) (crs-bury-buffer -1)))
You can use mouse buttons and Ctrl + TAB to navigate Emacs buffers ;)

Useful tip!
Thx hamen! ^_^
I was a little bit tired of `C^x+arrow keys`...I'm going to edit my .emacs right now!
Now I can increase my buffer's number and navigate among them more easily;-D
C- ya -soon! @8-)

...Debian issue?...
In my emacs v22.2.1 installed on Debian 5.0.3 (lenny) i have to edit this string
`crs-bury-buffer`
in
`bury-buffer`
if not, C^TAB doesn't work and an error message appears in emacs.
Maybe this issue it's only for Debian's users...
