Re: How to quickly move to a specific buffer?

I usually have one tab open for each buffer. Then I can jump between the tabs/buffers with COUNT + gt. You can set up 'tabline' to display the tab number and/or use :tabs (which I have mapped to <F-11>t) to see a list of the tabs. (Note: when I'm on termux and don't have too many tabs open I can just point my thumb on the tagline to switch — purists may shudder all they want! :-)

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. So I'd like a command to bring
up a list of buffers so I can chose a specific one.

I've looked up :h buffers and can't find anything. Is there a way I
could do this?

Theoretically I could use the gvim menu system to do this, but it
involves taking my hands off home position to use the arrow keys, and
also, Alt+b is a difficult hotkey, so I'd much rather have some sort of
Vim command to do it.

Thanks,
