I have below mapping in .vimrc.
nmap gb <C-^>
What I want to do is open a directory, gf to a file, then gb go back to previous directory.
But sometime gb is not working properly. It goes back to another text file instead of previous directory.

Seems if it's a normal file, gb can go back, but not for a directory, need to figure out how to jump back to a directory. – Fisher Nov 24 '17 at 14:51

The problem is netrw, the plugin which allows vim to browse directories, overrides the gb map for its bookmarks feature.
You can disable this by providing a junk mapping in your vimrc:
nmap <sid>NetrwBookHistHandler_gb <Plug>NetrwBookHistHandler_gb
Or use any left hand side
nmap <silent> <f4> <Plug>NetrwBookHistHandler_gb
Also, you don't need to use gf to go to a file inside a directory. Pressing enter works too.
