Iswitchb global minor mode provides convenient switching between buffers
using substrings of their names by replacing the normal keybindings
@kbd{C-x b}, @kbd{C-x 4 b}, @kbd{C-x 5 b} and @kbd{C-x 4 C-o}.
When you are prompted for a buffer name, as you type in a substring the
list of buffers currently matching it is displayed as you type, with the
most recent buffers visited towards the start of the list. The buffer
at the start will be the one visited when you press @key{RET}. By
typing more of the substring, the list is narrowed down so that
gradually the buffer you want will be at the top of the list.
Alternatively, you can use @kbd{C-s} and @kbd{C-r} to rotate buffer
names in the list until the one you want is at the top of the list.
Completion is available so that you can see what is common to all of the
matching buffers as you type.

MSB global minor mode provides a different and customizable mouse buffer
menu which you may prefer. It replaces the bindings of
@code{mouse-buffer-menu}, normally on @kbd{C-down-mouse-1}, and the menu
bar buffer menu. You can customize the menu in the @code{msb} Custom
group.
