An Old Vim Buffer Trick

When switching between buffers I usually forget that instead of typing :nextbuffer I can simply do :b where is the number of the next buffer. Or even better yet;

<CTRL>-^ to switch to the next buffer

To open the buffer in a new window in a new window <CTRL>-w followed by <CTRL>-^

With all those short cuts why remap the keys as Gmikeus shows us. butin matters of workflow there is no disputation. I do like Gmikeus' article which contains a lot of cool info.

I still find it easier to type :b in command mode. Well if I ever forget again I will look at either the buffer FAQ or vtk.org's useful commands list.

Hopefully now that I've written this the vim short cuts will ne'er be forgot.
