I have the following line of code in my `.emacs` file: (global-set-key (kbd "C-<tab>") 'next-buffer) This key-binding allows me to `C-<tab>` my way around Emacs. However, because of certain buffers that I have open by default this becomes very tedious. So I would like a function that switches to the next buffer unless the next buffer is a certain file/buffer. More specifically the following buffers: 1. `*GNU Emacs*` 2. `*scratch*` 3. `*Messages*` **Note:** Just because I want to skip them when I call `next-buffer` does not mean that I want to kill that buffer. I rather just get to it by pressing `C-x` `b`.
