After writing about switch buffer in emacs last year. I keep looking for the way to switch buffer quicker and more comfortably. I mentioned the package awesome-tab in that post and I’m still using it.

Talking about buffer switching in emacs in the last post , I said that I have keybindings to switch between the two and three most recent used buffers. And the author of the reddit post chose to use buffer-flip package.

The buffer-flip package makes switching buffer like those switching applications behavior in operating system, like alt-tab in MS Windows and command-tab in macOS. VSCode also can switch among opened files with control-tab. The problem of these methods are obvious. They can only switching in a specific order and they all bind to these uncomfortable keys.

Recently I’m developing this GokuRakuJoudo tool to enable user config karabiner with edn file instead of json file.

I deploy it to the macOS package manager homebrew so that user can install it with homebrew easily. Since the tool is used to watch the edn file and transform it to json file. It’s naturally to use homebrew services to run the command.

Recently there’s a new post on r/emacs discussing about switching buffer in emacs. As I posted before, I have that kind of problem as well. It’s just most of us use ibuffer, helm or ivy and we use them for a long time. Yet we still interest in these discussions. Cause maybe all of us want it to be faster or more convenient.

For me, I use counsel-projectile-switch-to-buffer and ivy-switch-buffer to switch buffer in current project or global. And I have two functions to switch between the two and three most recent buffer.

So I checked the notion tool recently. It’s pretty good if everyone around use it. But as an emacs user, I still prefer org-mode.

It’s just there’s one functionality I never thought about when I was using org-mode, the ability to record your activity. Like when you reschedule something or change the state of tasks.
