Opening files in new buffers

I like the way vim allows you to view the files in a directory, then
directly go to them. But then to go back after editing the file I
chose, I repeatedly hit ctrl-O until I get back to the file listing.
It would be nice if I can maybe open the file in a new buffer, and
when I'm done, just close the new buffer I opened. Is there an easy
way to do this? Ctrl+w, followed by enter didn't seem to work, and
neither did gF.
Also, on a somewhat related note, is there a way to quickly save a
buffer and then close it. :wq allows you to save and quit, but I'm a
bit annoyed by having to do :w<enter>, :bd<enter>.
I think vim has started to make me lazy to type, where I'm always
looking for 1 or 2 letter commands to do everything.
