无需插件：如何以Explore风格在当前窗口显示所有已打开缓冲区？

Great question! Since you’re already comfortable with :Explore (Vim’s built-in Netrw file explorer), you can stick with that familiar interface to browse your open buffers—no extra plugins required. Here are two easy methods tailored to your workflow:

Method 1: Switch Netrw to Buffer View #

If you already have an Explore window open (via :Explore, :E, or similar):

• In the Netrw window, press the lowercase b key.
• This instantly switches the view from the file system to your list of open buffers, keeping all your usual Netrw shortcuts intact:
  • Use arrow keys to navigate the buffer list
  • Press Enter to open the selected buffer in the current window
  • Press o to open it in a new split window
  • Press - to switch back to the regular file system view
  • Press uppercase D to delete (close) a selected buffer

Method 2: Open Buffer View Directly #

Skip the regular file system view and jump straight to the buffer list in Explore style:

• Run the command :Explore buffers (or its shorter version :E buffers) in Vim.
• This opens Netrw’s buffer list directly in your current window, ready for you to navigate just like you would with a normal Explore session.

Bonus Tip #

If you want a quick overview first, run :ls (or :buffers) to see a compact text-based list of open buffers. From there, you can run :browse buffers to launch the interactive Netrw-style view immediately.
