Vim: Close All Buffers But This One

Question

How can I close all buffers in Vim except the one I am currently editing?

Answer 1

I put this in my .vimrc file

nnoremap ca :w  %bd  e#  bd# 

then your leader + ca (close all) close all the buffers except the current one.

What it does is

:w - save current buffer

%bd - close all the buffers

e# - open last edited file

bd# - close the unnamed buffer
