How to reopen a buffer in vim?

Question

I am having problems with the XPTemplate vim plugin. Sometimes this leads to errors and makes editing a file impossible. I heal him by following these steps:

• Delete buffer
• Find closed file
• Open file again

How can I automate this process?

Answer 1

Depending on the situation of forced reboot via :edit! may already be enough. Otherwise, you can try :bdelete | edit # :bdelete | edit # .

I would also inform the author of the plugin if you suspect it due to an error in the plugin itself.
