RecentBufferSwitcher for jEdit

Introduction

RecentBufferSwitcher is a plugin for the jEdit text editor, which allows fast changing of a buffer to the most recently viewed buffer.

It emulates the Alt+Tab behaviour found in Gnome, KDE and windows for switching between applications, allowing you to switch to your most recently used buffers.

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.
