;; The bs-package contains a main function bs-show for poping up a

;; The new buffer offers a Buffer Selection Menu for manipulating

;;; Quick Installation und Customization:

;; Use
;;   M-x bs-show
;; for buffer selection or optional bind a key to main function `bs-show'
;;   (global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'bs-show)    ;; or another key
;;
;; For customization use
;; M-x bs-customize


;;; More Commentary:

;; bs-show will generate a new buffer named *buffer-selection*, which shows
;; all buffers or a subset of them, and has possibilities for deleting,
;; saving and selecting buffers. For more details see docstring of
;; function `bs-mode'. A current configuration describes which buffers appear
;; in *buffer-selection*. See docstring of variable `bs-configurations' for
;; more details.
;;
;; The package bs combines the advantages of the Emacs functions
;; `list-buffers' and `electric-buffer-list'.
;;
;; Additional features for Buffer Selection Menu:
;;  - configurable list of buffers (show only files etc.).
;;  - comfortable way to change displayed subset of all buffers.
;;  - show sorted list of buffers.
;;  - cyclic navigation:
;;     - goes to top of buffer list if you are on last line and press down.
;;     - goes to end of buffer list if you are on first line and press up.
;;  - Offer an alternative buffer list by prefix key C-u.

;;; Cycling through buffers

;; This package offers two functions for buffer cycling. If you want to cycle
;; through buffer list you can use `bs-cycle-next' or `bs-cycle-previous'.
;; Bind these function to a key like
;;   (global-set-key [(f9)]   'bs-cycle-previous)
;;   (global-set-key [(f10)]  'bs-cycle-next)
;;
;; Both functions use a special subset of all buffers for cycling to avoid
;; to go through internal buffers like *Messages*.
;;
;; Cycling through buffers ignores sorting because sorting destroys
;; the logical buffer list. If buffer list is sorted by size you
;; won't be able to cycle to the smallest buffer.

;;; Customization:

;; There is a customization group called `bs' in group `convenience'.
;; Start customization by M-x bs-customize
;;
;; Buffer list
;; -----------
;; You can define your own configurations by extending variable
;; `bs-configurations' (see docstring for details).
;;
;; `bs-default-configuration' contains the name of default configuration.
;; The default value is "files" which means to show only files.
;;
;; If you always want to see all buffers, customize variable
;; `bs-default-configuration' in customization group `bs'.
;;
;; Configure sorting
;; -----------------
;; You can define functions for sorting the buffer list.
;; When selecting buffers, you can step through available sorting
;; methods with key 'S'.
;; To define a new way of sorting, customize variable `bs-sort-functions'.
;;
;; There are four basic functions for sorting:
;;   by buffer name, by mode, by size, or by filename
;;
;; Configure buffer cycling
;; ------------------------
;; When cycling through buffer list the functions for cycling will use
;; the current configuration of bs to calculate the buffer list.
;; If you want to use a different configuration for cycling you have to set
;; the variable `bs-cycle-configuration-name'. You can customize this variable.
;;
;; For example: If you use the configuration called "files-and-scratch" you
;; can cycle through all file buffers and *scratch* although your current
;; configuration perhaps is "files" which ignores buffer *scratch*.
