Colors in emacs buffer list

Question

Hi how can I colorize the emacs buffer menu, I'd like to have different colors for different type of files. That should make it easier to navigate a large list of buffers.

Answer 2

Try M-xibuffer. It can serve as a replacement for list-buffers(C-x C-b), with a wealth of extra functionalities for filtering, sorting, etc. After invocation, use C-h m for more details.

Answer 3

See EmacsWiki, it contains some links to enhanced buffer menus.

Answer 4

Or you can find your best Keybind:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-b") 'buffer-menu)

instead C-x C-b if you have another better choice.
