This extension displays a categorized list of Emacs buffers with different
buffer attributes, and allows to perform different operations on separate
buffer or on groups of buffers.
This view emulates the default display of function 'list-buffers'.
| r-filter |
filters out the buffers whose names begin with space.
The *ee-buffers* buffer itself is filtered out as well. |
| c-path-finder |
no categories in this view |
| r-sorter |
unsorted, i.e. buffers are sorted by recency |
| r-title-printer |
emulates the title printed by 'list-buffers' |
| r-printer |
emulates the rows printed by 'list-buffers' |
| post-update |
moves point to previously visited buffer |
| r-select |
switches to the selected buffer |

This view categorizes the file buffers by their directory names.
Buffers not visiting a file are categorized under their mode name.
Inside every category the buffers are sorted alphabetically (and sorting
them by recency could be also useful). Every buffer row is printed in
format very similar to the output of function 'dired', where the buffer
attributes replace the file attributes: inode is replaced by
buffer-display-count, user name - by mode name, file modification time
- by buffer-display-time, and file name - by buffer name. Typing
`M-o' will disable/enable filter very much like dired-omit-toggle does
with dired-omit-files. Toggled buffer names are displayed in the same
color as in the dired mode. Buffers not visited some time amount are
"faded away" and displayed in gray color instead of black.
Categorizing the buffers by their directory names is the most useful
way to group buffers, because often an user simultaneouly works only
with files located in one or very few directories, so other groups of
ununsed buffers can be easily hidden from view by collapsing their
directory category. This is my favorite ee-buffers view.
| r-filter |
filters out the buffers whose names begin with
space character, some buffers whose names are surrounded by
asterisks, buffers in dired mode except the buffer *Find*, and the
*ee-buffers* buffer itself. |
| c-path-finder |
categorizes by buffer directory name |
| c-sorter |
sorts alphabetically |
| r-sorter |
sorts alphabetically by buffer name |
| c-printer |
shows in parentheses the amount of buffers in
a category, and amount of marked buffers (alternatively, useful
could be total size of buffers) |
| r-printer |
columns are mark, modified, read-only, display-count,
mode-name, size, buffer display time and buffer name |
| post-update |
moves point to the previously visited buffer |
| r-select |
switches to the selected buffer |

Alternatively, directory paths can be splitted into a directory
trees. To do this, in the c-path-finder the property function 'list'
should be replaced by 'ee-split-string' with argument "/".
Also buffer sizes can be summed up on the category lines.

The variables 'ee-buffer-directory-name-regexp-alist' and
'ee-buffer-file-name-regexp-alist' can be used to specify
the mappings between directory or file names and project names.
For example, the next value of 'ee-buffer-directory-name-regexp-alist'
(("ee" . "ee")
("emacs" . "emacs")
("html\\|www" . "www"))
will place the files with the directory names matching the keys
of this association list under the associated project names.

Buffers in this view are categorized by mode names and additionally
by buffer "types", such as modified, read-only, invisible, etc.
In this view every buffer can appear under several categories.
| r-filter |
filters out the *ee-buffers* buffer |
| c-path-finder |
categorizes by mode name and by buffer "type" |
| c-sorter |
first level sorted alphabetically, second level is unsorted |
| r-sorter |
sorts alphabetically by buffer name |
| c-printer |
shows in parentheses the amount of buffers in
a category, and amount of marked buffers (alternatively, useful
could be total size of buffers) |
| r-printer |
columns are mark, modified, read-only, display-count,
mode-name, size, buffer display time and buffer name |
| post-update |
moves point to the previously visited buffer |
| r-select |
switches to the selected buffer |
