Hints and Tips

Map Ctrl Tab to RecentBufferSwitcher - Open Buffers for quick switching.

Map Alt W (or any combination) to RecentBufferSwitcher - Open Buffers to open the dialog, type the first few letters of the buffer to move to it, then press enter to open it.

Utilities - Global Options - Filesystem Browser - Colors: map filename regular expressions to colors here e.g. *.py to green. These colours will then appear in the recent buffer dialog switcher.
