However, if you are trying to find and open a specific +buffer it can be tedious to have to find it in the list and then enter a +whole different command to move to it (e.g. `:b 10`). + +The [`bufexplorer`](https://github.com/jlanzarotta/bufexplorer) plugin gives +you quick access to an interactive buffer list. By using `bs` and +`bv` you can open horizontally and vertically split windows, +respectively, that allow you to navigate through and open specific buffers +from your buffer list. This is a simple plugin you can add to your workflow +that can make working with a lot of buffers a bit more efficient.
