Sorry for the late response, but while you did get answers about scrolling and filtering the buffer list, I thought I'd mention one more option. If you enter ":buf bc.h" and then press <Tab>, Vim will tab complete to the full path of the first buffer matching that substring, if any. The substring does *not* appear to be treated as a regex. If there is more than one match, pressing <Tab> will cycle through them in buffer order, cycling back to what you typed (to let you easily change it?), and then back through the matches in order. -- Ed Blackman -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
