;;; Commentary:

;; This module allows you to switch to buffers even faster than with
;; iswitchb!  It is not intended to replace it, however, as it works
;; well only with buffers whose names don't typically overlap.  You'll
;; have to try it first, and see how your mileage varies.
;;
;; The first way to use isearchb is by holding down a modifier key, in
;; which case every letter you type while holding it searches for any
;; buffer matching what you're typing (using the same ordering scheme
;; employed by iswitchb).  To use it this way, add to your .emacs:
;;
;;   (isearchb-set-keybindings 'super)  ; s-x s-y s-z now finds "xyz"
;;
;; The other way is by using a command that puts you into "search"
;; mode, just like with isearch.  I use C-z for this.  The binding in
;; my .emacs looks like:
;;
;;   (define-key global-map [(control ?z)] 'isearchb-activate)
;;
;; Now, after pressing C-z (for example), each self-inserting
;; character thereafter will search for a buffer containing those
;; characters.  For instance, typing "C-z xyz" will switch to the
;; first buffer containing "xyz".  Once you press a non-self-inserting
;; character (such as any control key sequence), the search will end.
;;
;; C-z after C-z toggles between the previously selected buffer and
;; the current one.
;;
;; C-g aborts the search and returns you to your original buffer.
;;
;; TAB, after typing in a few characters (after C-z), will jump into
;; iswitchb, using the prefix you've typed so far.  This is handy when
;; you realize that isearchb is not powerful enough to find the buffer
;; you're looking for.
;;
;; C-s and C-r move forward and backward in the buffer list.  If
;; `isearchb-show-completions' is non-nil (the default), the list of
;; possible completions is shown in the minibuffer.
;;
;; If `isearchb-idle-timeout' is set to a number, isearchb will quit
;; after that many seconds of idle time.  I recommend trying it set to
;; one or two seconds.  Then, if you switch to a buffer and wait for
;; that amount of time, you can start typing without manually exiting
;; isearchb.

;; TODO:
;;   C-z C-z is broken
;;   killing iswitchb.el and then trying to switch back is broken
;;   make sure TAB isn't broken
