Like Emacs, Conkeror makes use of buffers in order to allow multiple pages to remain open at the same time (similar to tabs in traditional browsers). Users can open new buffers and navigate through them using key bindings. For example, codice_4 opens a hyperlink in a new buffer, codice_5 goes to a URL or search term in a new buffer, and codice_6 opens the start page in a new buffer. Buffers can be cycled through using codice_7 to go to the next buffer or codice_8 to go to the previous one. codice_9 displays a list of the currently open buffers from which the user can choose a buffer using the up and down arrows.
