# Use Active Window With BufExplorer
I often use [BufExplorer](https://github.com/jlanzarotta/bufexplorer) within
long-running Vim sessions as a way of quickly jumping between the various
buffers in my buffer list. After working with one buffer, I use `<leader>bs`
to open BufExplorer, move my cursor to the next buffer of interest, and hit
enter to open it in place of the current buffer. This is the default
behavior at least.
There is a setting on BufExplorer (`g:bufExplorerFindActive`) that is
toggled on by default. Because of this setting, BufExplorer finds the window
that was active before accessing the BufExplorer window when opening a
buffer. If this setting is toggled off, BufExplorer doesn't bother finding
the active window, it just opens the buffer up in place of itself in
whatever split window was created for itself.
This setting can be toggled within the BufExplorer window by hitting `f`. It
will toggle between `Locate Buffer` and `Don't Locate Buffer`. I prefer the
default of `Locate Buffer`.
