Open next file in VIM

Question

I have the following files in directory:

" ============================================================================
" Netrw Directory Listing                                        (netrw v149) 
"   /home/.../content
"   Sorted by      name
"   Sort sequence: [\/]$,\<core\%(\.\d\+\)\=\>,\.h$,\.c$,\.cpp$,\~\=\*$,*,\.o$...
"   Quick Help: <F1>:help  -:go up dir  D:delete  R:rename  s:sort-by  x:exec
" ============================================================================

Having 10-2 buffer opened, how can I open for editing the next file (10-3)?

What about going back?

Right now I do :Ex and then go to the next file.

Answer 1

• My EditSimilar plugin provides (among others) :EditNext and :EditPlus commands.
• unimpaired.vim - Pairs of handy bracket mappings includes a pair of [f / ]f mappings to go to the previous / next file

Answer 2

You can load all the files:

:args *

Then use :bn and :bp to switch.

EDIT: Okay, macro time... use these mappings:

nmap <leader>[ :Ex<CR>k<CR>
nmap <leader>] :Ex<CR>j<CR>

Note that this kind of depends on <CR> mapping from netrw, so you can't use nnoremap.
