Define functions to start and stop the repetition.Set up a variable to store the timer object.There are a few steps to set up a function to be repeated every now and again. *shell* that completion makes the latter hard to type. *Shell Command Output* buffer - that buffer's name is so similar to (message 'Killing buffer %s' (buffer-name victim)) (when (and victim (not (get-buffer-window victim t))) (let ((victim (get-buffer '*Shell Command Output*'))) The “periodically” part is what run-with-idle-timer does for us. Rather than telling completion to honor case (which is annoying on Win32, since the file system is itself case-insensitive), I simply tell Emacs to periodically kill any buffers named “ Shell Command Output” that it finds lying around (if they’re not currently displayed in a window). Thus, when I then hit RET, I find myself looking at a new, empty, useless buffer instead of the one I wanted. Since that buffer’s name shares a common prefix with the name of the buffer to which I want to switch, completion doesn’t completely complete the name “ Shell” instead it leaves me with “*Shell”. However, sometimes there’s a buffer lying around named “ Shell Command Output”. Here’s the problem it solves: I frequently want to switch to a buffer named “ Shell” I’ve formed the habit of typing merely * S h e RET, and letting completion complete the buffer name. The following use has vastly improved my life using NTEmacsWithCygwin, for example. The function run-with-idle-timer has a million and one uses.
