switch-to-buffer isn't sufficient. When switch-to-buffer is called, itdefaults to taking you to currently undusplayed buffer, or you can scroll through buffer-name-history, which doesn't always list the last buffer you visited last.
I want to visit the last buffer I visited before the present one in the other buffer's window. Problem is I can't seem to find out a way to switch back when I don't know the name of the buffer I came from.

I want to go to the last buffer visited before the current buffer regardless of how I got there. BTW, other-buffer didn't do anything on my emacs, other-window worked, though...

Is there any way to save the current buffer name into a register? or somewhere where I can get it back?I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want, but I use this: (defun switch-prev-buffer () (interactive) (switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))) (global-set-key [f1] 'switch-prev-buffer) Try it and see. /Mathias
