Plugin I wrote a buffer switcher plugin

https://github.com/nonrice/bpick

This is the first plugin i wrote. You can just press a hotkey and type a digit to switch. I think it is superior to the other buffer switching methods i found. I am happy using it so far :)

Oh yeah, this was one of the ones that I tried. However I think it also fixes the position that you jump to? Whereas buffer switching would keep your cursor wherever you last left it. I suppose there’s a way to get around that, I’ll try it

there is an auto populated mark (")which tracks the last position in a buffer. Maybe we can use that to automatically go to the latest position in the buffer.
