Here is a possible way,
function! Bufnames(A, L, P)
redir => bufnames
silent ls
redir END
let list = []
for name in split(bufnames, "\n")
let buf = fnamemodify(split(name, '"')[-2], ":t")
if match(buf, "No Name") == -1
call add(list, buf)
endif
endfor
return filter(sort(list), 'v:val =~ "^".a:A')
endfunction
command! -nargs=1 -complete=customlist,Bufnames Myls exec "buffer "<q-args>
Now use:
:Myls<tab> or
:Myls<Control-D> or
:Myls [first letter from a buffer name]
for a custom completion.
