Switching to previous buffer

[Vivien]

Hello,

When you switch to another buffer (C-x b RET), helm first proposes the previous buffer, except when this buffer is already shown in another window. How can you tell helm to always propose the previous buffer in first place? even when this previous buffer is already opened in the current frame?

Thanks!

AFAIK we use `ido-make-buffer-list' for calculating `helm-buffer-list'.
What you want is unfortunately not configurable for ido's
`ido-make-buffer-list', so you would need to redefine (advice) it.


Regards,

Michael.

No, OP is using here C-x b which I guess is the vanilla switch-to-buffer
helmized, and switch-to-buffer is using buffer-list.
