Navigate to open buffer/window?

[trusktr]

Is there a way to use Buffers or Windows to navigate to the existing window (instead of new tab or split)?

[junegunn]

Press enter? Not sure if I understood your question.

[trusktr]

Pressing enter opens the file in the current window, but leaves the existing window (which may be in another tab) open. I'd like to switch to that window/tab instead of making a new window.

[junegunn]

:Windows command does exactly that.

[trusktr]

Indeed, sorry about that. Don't know why I thought that. It works the first time, but after that I'm getting an error like this with both Windows and Buffers:

Never had that before. What's the :version? Please test again with minimal vim configuration; no other plugins.

I am also getting a similar error:

Error detected while processing function 267:
line  30:
E121: Undefined variable: ret
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Running on Nvim 0.1.1.

@iclanzan Please provide the steps to reproduce the problem.

[iclanzan]

Unfortunately I can’t seem to be able to reproduce it reliably. I don’t know what triggers the problem, but after it happens once it keeps happening as long as I try to open a file in the current buffer. If I instead open it in a split window it works.

[iclanzan]

I think I got it. The error is triggered when trying to open a file over an unsaved buffer.

[junegunn]

Okay, I noticed that the problem is reproducible on Neovim when hidden is unset. I can fix it to give a better error message.

[junegunn]

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the feedback.

[iclanzan]

Cool, thanks!
