Usually, I :split open (maximized) my active files and switch back and forth using some helpful mappings (Alt-j and Alt-k). When the number of splits are more, I open a tab and do similar stuff there. I usually do not like the ":split" opening window unmaximized, so these mappings help in achieving that:
"--8<-- set nocp set winminheight=0 set laststatus=2 au WinEnter * wincmd _ "Map Alt-j to edit split window one below. "Alt" works well in GUI, use something else inside terminals nnoremap <m-j> <c-w>j "Map Alt-k to edit split window one above nnoremap <m-k> <c-w>k "--8<-- Regards, -Arun On Tue, Dec 13, 2022 at 5:10 PM Steve Litt <sl...@troubleshooters.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I typically use :bn and :bp to move between buffers, but I have five > buffers open on my current project, which requires a heck of a lot of > keystrokes to move to a specific buffer.
