I actually do use pane commands from time to time. ctrl-w s : will split horizontally ctrl-w v : will split vertically Commands work, and I just tested buffers specifically. I can type :buffers and I see a list. I was able to get vscode to switch tabs with :b 209 (I don't normally inspect buffers this way, but it's integrated and it works).
