I wrote a map for that, but I haven't made it public, yet:

fun! FileJump(count, ...)
let backward = (a:0 >= 1 ? a:1 : 'b')
let ind = (backward == 'b' ? -1 : 1)
for x in range(a:count)
let file = expand('%:p')
while file == expand('%:p')
let line = line('.')
if ind == 1
exe "normal! 1\<C-I>"
else
exe "normal! 1\<C-O>"
endif
if line == line('.') && file == expand('%:p')
break
endif
endwhile
endfor
endfun
nm <Leader><c-o> :<c-u>call FileJump(v:count1, 'b')<cr>
nm <Leader><c-i> :<c-u>call FileJump(v:count1, 'f')<cr> You can never be sure how many beers you had last night.

Best regards,
Marcin
