Load A Directory Of Files Into The Buffer List
Consider the scenario where I want to go through all files in a directory to
make a series of minor, related changes. After editing each file, I can type
something like :e path/to/next/file.md
to bring up the next file. That can
get a bit tedious though. Instead, I can load up all the files in the
directory with the args
command:
:args path/to/files/*.md
From there, I can use :bnext
(or :bn) and
:bprevto more quickly jump through those files I want to edit. I can also run
:ls` to see all the files loaded in to the buffer list at
that point.
