File: uniquify.el.html
Emacs's traditional method for making buffer names unique adds <2>, <3>,
etc. to the end of (all but one of) the buffers. This file replaces
that behavior, for buffers visiting files and dired buffers, with a
uniquification that adds parts of the file name until the buffer names
are unique. For instance, buffers visiting /u/mernst/tmp/Makefile and
/usr/projects/zaphod/Makefile would be named Makefile|tmp and
Makefile|zaphod, respectively (instead of Makefile and Makefile<2>).
Other buffer name styles are also available.
To use this file, do (require 'uniquify) and set uniquify-buffer-name-style to one of its non-nil alternative values.
For other options, see "User-visible variables", below.
