Is there some way to take a command that ordinarily only acts on the current buffer and make it be applied to all of the buffers? Or to all buffers of a certain type? Or to have emacs run through the buffer list and inquire if you want the command applied to each buffer one at a time? Also, is there some way to modify the switch-to-buffer command so the default is to run through the buffer list rather than to choose the most recently used buffer?

Here's a little function that I use for selecting lisp buffers without having to type in names. If you want to go through the list looking for something else, just modify the regexp. No doubt there are elisp hackers out there who could improve on this. (defun switch-to-lisp-buffer () "Offers to switch to any lisp buffers that are already opened." (interactive) (let ((buffers (cdr (buffer-list))) (selected nil)) (while (and buffers (not selected)) (let ((buff (buffer-name (car buffers)))) (if (string-match ".lsp$" buff) (if (y-or-n-p (format "Switch to %s? " buff)) (setq selected (car buffers)))) (setq buffers (cdr buffers)))) (cond (selected (switch-to-buffer selected) (message "")) (t (beep) (message "No more Lisp buffers")))))
