Is it possible to navigate between two previously used tabs and/or splits?

I understand why buffers are best to use, and that I can use :b# to achieve what I want, but I have wondered if this was possible with tabs and/or splits.

Tabs:

Sometimes, if the buffer list gets long, I like to keep a few important ones in tabs. Can I jump to the last tab I was just previously in? (just like tmux last-window)

Splits:

We all (hopefully!) use splits when there is enough room, I've don't really need more than 4 splits, but as I cannot find an answer anywhere else. Can I jump to the previous split? (just like tmux last-pane)

  • One think you might like to check out is the arglist - it's like the buffer list but you can add or remove files to have only the important ones - it's like a VIP buffer list. See :help arglist and the famous vimcasts for an demonstration of what I'm talking about: vimcasts.org/episodes/meet-the-arglist
