In vim, I can type :oldfiles
to see a list of files I've previously edited. Awesome feature!
But now I want to open one or more files from that list into a buffer. How can I do that?
If you use :help oldfiles
, you will find the command :browse oldfiles
which should do what you want.
:bro[wse] ol[dfiles][!]
List file names as with |:oldfiles|, and then prompt
for a number. When the number is valid that file from
the list is edited.
If you get the |press-enter| prompt you can press "q"
and still get the prompt to enter a file number.
Use ! to abandon a modified buffer. |abandon|
