This is something that most VIM users use all the time\n(and probably have mapped to a better key like `shift+tab`). The workflow is similar to this:\n\nI am editing a file `A` to add something. Then I press `ctrl+p` to jump to another file `B` to use what I just added. Then (of course) I\nforget what I did on file `A` so I quickly switch back to `A` to take a peek at what I did there and immediately switch back\nto `B` to once again do the change. The after a while I will need take a peek *again* to `A`, etc. Using this you should be able to do\nthat very quickly.\n\n*Notice that I used the \"buffer\" word to make the connection with VIM :)*\n\n## Extension Settings\n\nYou can run the command yourself by the command pallet (ctrl+shift+p) and `Goto previous buffer`. By default the `ctrl+shift+tab` is assigned to that cmd\n(I know that this keybinding is already assigned to  cycle to the other open buffers but I use that thing all the time so I recommend assigning it to an easy combination).\n\nTo change the keybinding press `ctrl+shift+p` and then search for `open keyboard shortcuts`. In the filter write `goto-previous-buffer` and then click the cross or pencil to change the shortcut to your desired one.\nYou could use `ctrl+6` like vim! \n\n## Known Issues\n\nNone that I know of. This probably won't work when the previous thing you visited was not a real file :)\n\n## Release Notes\n\n\n### 1.1.1\n\nFix readme\n\n### 1.1.0\n\nSmall updates\n\n### 1.0.2\n\nUpdate license.\n\n### 1.0.1\n\nChange README.\n\n### 1.0.0\n\nInitial release.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fspapas%2Fgoto-previous-buffer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fspapas%2Fgoto-previous-buffer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fspapas%2Fgoto-previous-buffer/lists"}
