That's the idea. You can also switch buffers into the same window --
then it looks like you are changing mode. This could be done
automatically, although as linked-buffers can have different text in
them, this can be a little bit jarring visually since some of the text
moves.

Sometimes, I just open two buffers side-by-side and just move by eyes,
leaving point where it is. At the moment, linked-buffers is too new for
me to be sure about the user interface. I'm knocking off the rough-edges
as I go. These things take years.
