Sorry, I was not very clear, you pointed the correct way. Actually, here are the steps I do: vi foo [some edit] :w :Explore [choose another file to edit] :b foo [go back to foo] u [doesn't work] It is not related to split windows (vi actually keeps my history when :Explore in another window). So my real question was: Is there a way to keep the history on current file when using :Explore to open another one? > > It seems I do not loose it when I stay in same > > window and switch buffer (with :b). > > This also seems normal.
