To edit the alternate file, is there any difference between these:
nnoremap ,g :e!#<cr>
nnoremap ,g :b!#<cr>
While there may be other differences, you can edit unnamed
buffers with ":b!#" while ":e!#" requires that the file exist.
Additionally, if the file on-disk has changed, using e! will
prompt about a reload while b! will simply jump to the unedited
buffer.
Those are a few differences I sussed out by poking at the edges
of the two commands.

Thank you Tim
After doing some tests ":b!#" is the one I like.
It is useful when editing source code, then adding a mapping or
function to vimrc with a vim help file open.
With the vimrc and help open I can toggle back and forth.
When done ":bn" or ":bp" will take me thru my source files skipping
the "unlisted"/help files.

Don't forget that with an exclamation mark, if your current buffer (the
one you leave to edit the alternate file) is modified, and not open in
another window, all changes will be lost with no warning.
Best regards,
Tony.
