I recently discovered the option switchbuf and tried to use it but I can't say if I don't understand how it should work or if it actually doesn't work on my Vim.About the different possible values, the doc says:useopen If included, jump to the first open window that                 contains the specified buffer (if there is one).usetab  Like useopen, but also consider windows in other tab  pages.I have then used set switchbuf=useopen,usetab and the following commands in a new vim instance:Open a first buffer :e file1 Split the screen :splitOpen a second buffer :e file2Go back to the first buffer :e file1 (I have also used :bN)The last commands to go to the first buffer open it in the second split. From what I understand from the doc the commands should place the cursor to the first split where the buffer is already open thanks to useopen. Also the behavior is the same when I try the same commands with tabs instead of splits.Is this behavior the expected one? If so could you explain what this option should do?If not I know that I'll have to debug my .vimrc but maybe is there a common setting known to interfere with switchbuf?
How should the option 'switchbuf' work?
vimrc;buffers;split
'switchbuf' is only honored by quickfix commands (like :cc) and buffer-splitting commands (like :sb).It doesn't affect :buffer and other regular buffer-related commands.
