Buffers and windows

Switch files, close them and split the screen.

Every open file is a buffer; the top bar (bufferline) shows them as tabs. Shift+l and Shift+h go to the next and previous one; <Space>bd closes the current one. Windows split the screen: <Space>| splits vertically, <Space>- horizontally, and you move between them with Ctrl+h/j/k/l.
