[Conkeror] Braindump about buffer handling

[Daniel Clemente]

  What I would like to see is a dialog to switch buffers, but I mean a full-window comfortable dialog, not just little things to do in the minibuffer.
  Something like ibuffer for Emacs, but adapted to web. Concretely, I would like to see a buffer tree where each buffer hangs on the buffer which opened it. Ex:

- Page 1: Google results
 - Page 2: the first result you opened from page 1
 - Page 3: the second result you opened
  - Page 4: one link from page 3 which you opened in a new tab
- Page 5: something else you had open before searching the web in page 1

  Note: history isn't involved here; only the state of the current tab set.

  This is useful because normally you have several navigation threads, each one comprising many tabs. The tab bar fails to represent this because it uses only one line. A buffer selection dialog could show a more descriptive page with links that switch to each buffer.
  This dialog could be activated by just one key.
  Further enhancements would be: a checkbox near each buffer's name, so that you can mark many and click „kill“ to kill several buffers at once; being able to change their names, reordering them, …

  Should I submit this as a request enhancement? :-)
