<div dir="ltr">Pete, in case it's useful for you: the original tabbar mode (upon which Aquamacs's tabbed interface is built) is organized precisely around grouping buffers by major-mode.<div><br></div><div><a href="http://emacswiki.org/emacs/TabBarMode">http://emacswiki.org/emacs/TabBarMode</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Having said that, it might take a bit of work to get that original-tabbar behavior, given the changes that have been implemented on top of that base in Aquamacs.

But I think I might sometimes like it better if it opened similar files in the same window. For example, if I'm editing several Perl files that are part of one program, I might like to handle them in the same window. I'd like a "find-file-same-frame" command. I understand that I can use open-buffer-one-frame-mode to set the behavior, but I'd like some guidance as to how to do it elegantly.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">I looked around a bit and found, in the Aquamacs Wiki under "Customize Aquamacs" a description of how to define a function that does the opposite of what I want, like so:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><pre style="padding:9.5px;font-family:Monaco,Menlo,Consolas,'Courier New',monospace;font-size:12.8000001907349px;color:rgb(51,51,51);border-radius:4px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;line-height:1.5em;word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.14902);background-color:rgb(245,245,245)">(<span style="color:rgb(127,0,127)">defun</span> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)">my-new-frame-with-new-scratch</span> ()
