The same way #98 added an option to jump to already opened buffers, would it be possible to have the same for :Files?

[BorisChiou]

This suggestion is really helpful because I use :Files very often. Just like ctrlp, if we can jump to the already opened buffer/window, this could make my life better.

BTW, someone posted a vim script to work around this, from reddit:

let g:fzf_buffers_jump = 1
function! s:GotoOrOpen(command, ...)
  for file in a:000
    if a:command == 'e'
      exec 'e ' . file
    else
      exec "tab drop " . file
    endif
  endfor
endfunction
command! -nargs=+ GotoOrOpen call s:GotoOrOpen(<f-args>)
let g:fzf_action = {
  \ 'ctrl-t': 'GotoOrOpen tab',
  \ 'ctrl-x': 'split',
  \ 'ctrl-v': 'vsplit' }

However, an easier way is something like this:

let g:fzf_action = {
  \ 'ctrl-t': 'tab drop',
  \ 'ctrl-x': 'split',
  \ 'ctrl-v': 'vsplit' }

Hi, after applying this configuration:

nmap <C-F> :Files<CR>
let g:fzf_action = {
    \ 'enter': 'tab drop',
    \ 'ctrl-t': 'tab split',
    \ 'ctrl-s': 'split',
    \ 'ctrl-v': 'vsplit'
    \ }

let g:fzf_layout = {'down':'30'}

I have a little problem with the :Buffers command

I am a total vim script newbie and I find it hard to figure out what is wrong.
