to be sure, there are dozens of ways
the simplest is to use the
:ls
command to list open buffers, make note of the buffer number
of the one you want to close -- it's the first number on the
left of the list -- then issue a
:bd #
command, where bd is short for buffer-delete, and replace
the # with the number of the buffer you want closed
a more fun method is to download and install BufExplorer:
" http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=42
with a map to it, for example:
nmap <F2> :BufExplorer<CR>
you can hit F2, get the cursor on the buffer you want
deleted, and hit D
a third way is to simply :bnext to the buffer you want gone
and enter :bdelete -- these are actions so frequently
performed by me i keep mappings in my .vimrc:
nmap <silent> <F3> :silent bdelete<CR>
imap <F3> <ESC>:bdelete<CR>
nmap <S-F3> :qall<CR>
imap <S-F3> <ESC>:qall<CR>
and
nmap <silent> <F6> :silent bnext<CR>
imap <silent> <F6> <ESC>:silent bnext<CR>
nmap <silent> <S-F6> :silent bprev<CR>
imap <silent> <S-F6> <ESC>:silent bprev<CR>
i'm sure there are other ways, but this will get you
started...
