I'm using emacs for my daily javascript editing, to switch between buffers I use C-x LEFT and C-x RIGHT and I'm fine with this (even if I find it difficult to know the path of the file I'm modifying).My problems:at the startup I always have *scratch* and *Messages* opened, I thought that putting (kill-buffer *scratch*) in my .emacs would solve the issue, but it's not, do you have a suggestion? when I open files I always do TAB autocomplete, so each time I'm creating a new *Messages* buffer containing the options for the completion, how do I prevent this from creating, or better, how do I make emacs kill it, after I've made my choice?Do say your opinion if you think I'm doing something that's not the way it should be with me navigating as I said at the top.
Prevent unwanted buffers from opening
emacs;buffer
This drove me mad.. until I fixed it.Now there's no scratch, messages, or completions buffers to screw with your flow. Enjoy!Place this in your .emacs: ;; Makes *scratch* empty.(setq initial-scratch-message );; Removes *scratch* from buffer after the mode has been set.(defun remove-scratch-buffer ()  (if (get-buffer *scratch*)      (kill-buffer *scratch*)))(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook 'remove-scratch-buffer);; Removes *messages* from the buffer.(setq-default message-log-max nil)(kill-buffer *Messages*);; Removes *Completions* from buffer after you've opened a file.(add-hook 'minibuffer-exit-hook      '(lambda ()         (let ((buffer *Completions*))           (and (get-buffer buffer)                (kill-buffer buffer)))));; Don't show *Buffer list* when opening multiple files at the same time.(setq inhibit-startup-buffer-menu t);; Show only one active window when opening multiple files at the same time.(add-hook 'window-setup-hook 'delete-other-windows)Bonus:;; No more typing the whole yes or no. Just y or n will do.(fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
