I've got a suggestion, at least this is how I switch between buffers, instead of these lines:

map <leader>q :bp<CR>
map <leader>w :bn<CR>

I use:

noremap <Leader><Leader> <C-^>

Which switches to the last buffer you had open in the pane you're currently in.

Also I recommend using noremap instead of map as noremap will expand the map you're referencing and therefore you won't get any recursive mappings (see :help recursive_mapping).

You can find the rest of my .vimrc here: https://github.com/loktacar/dotfiles/blob/master/vim/vimrc

I like your mapping! And yes I forgot about the nore part no make it non-recursive! Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed it now 😄

I'll take a look at your vimrc and see if I can get something from there 👍

I got an error when using JSHint. It reports E116: Invalid arguments for function 60_Echo. Do you happen to know the reason? I'm running VIM in windows. And I copied all your .vimrc. everything works fine except for jshint2.vim. Thanks.
