Emacs buffers don't need to be associated with open files.
Basically menus, project trees, terminal tabs, etc. Are all just text buffers. So you can navigate them like they were a file opened in a regular text buffer.
- u801e 6y agoThe netrw plugin that comes with the default installation of vim on many distros allows you to navigate the directory listing like a file, but it won't let you edit the text. The terminal buffer is similar, but you have to enter a special normal mode (ctrl-w N) in order to navigate the scrollback like a conventional buffer, but you can't change the contents of the buffer.
