Open buffered files in emacs 24.02.23

use C-x b and after use TAB to autocomplete

How do you switch between opening buffers? C-x b opens a prompt to enter a buffer name. You can TAB to complete the buffer name similar to how you complete file names in C-x C-f.

After you open a file, and if point is in that buffer, C-x C-f prompts the current directory, so you can open another file within this directory. For example, buffer A is from ~/dir1/ and buffer B is in ~/dir2/, if point is in buffer A, C-x C-f starts in ~/dir1/; if point is in buffer B, C-x C-f starts in ~/dir2/.

In an Emacs session, you may have a lot of buffers, including non-file buffers such as shell buffers, email buffers… How do you manage buffers when it's getting large? C-x C-b executes list-buffers, provide you a list of buffer in which you can search. However, list-buffers is a simple command for buffer management. Emacs also provides ibuffer, which is a superior alternative. You will surely want to use ibuffer, but first let's replace list-buffers with ibuffer (by placing next directive to your ~/.emacs file):
