+Make a list of buffers similarly to @kbd{M-x list-buffers} but

+@kbd{M-x bs-show} pops up a buffer list similar to the one normally
+displayed by @kbd{C-x C-b} but which can be customized.  You might like
+to bind it to @kbd{C-x C-b}.  You can customize the display, for
+instance to display a subset of buffers, in the @code{bs} Custom group.
+A special subset of all buffers is available---for instance avoiding
+ones like @samp{*Messages*}---through which you can cycle with @kbd{M-x
+bs-cycle-next} and @kbd{M-x bs-cycle-previous}.  Those commands could be
+bound to convenient keys.
