Re: Binding a key to an ibuffer filter

[etay . meiri]

Thanks a lot.
Looks like some progress was made.
Now when I click F1 I get an error: "Symbol's function definition is
void: c"

My filter definition is as follow:

'(ibuffer-saved-filters (quote (("c" ((mode . c++-mode))) ("gnus" ((or
(mode . message-mode) (mode . mail-mode) (mode . gnus-group-mode)
(mode . gnus-summary-mode) (mode . gnus-article-mode))))
("programming" ((or (mode . emacs-lisp-mode) (mode . cperl-mode)
(mode . c-mode) (mode . java-mode) (mode . idl-mode) (mode . lisp-
mode)))))))

And I'm calling the switch function using:

(ibuffer-switch-to-saved-filters "c")

Maybe I'm not passing the parameter correctly?

Thanks,

-Etay
