Answer 1

Anytime you want to switch to another buffer try this.

:b +  + tab

For an example. I have this in my buffer

77 "/var/www/html/TopMenuAlertAlert.vue" line 65
78 "/var/www/html/MainSidebar.vue" line 29
79 "/var/www/html/FullScreenSearch.vue" line 26
80 "/var/www/html/Menu.vue" line 93
81 "/var/www/html/layouts/RightSidebar.vue" line 195

As I want to change to another buffer, I probably remember some detail about the file like 'Alert'

So I just go

:b Alert + tab

if the file given is not the one I want, I just keep on pressing tab.

Vim will keep on giving the next file close to it.

Once you got it. Press Enter.
