It's just started happening again occasionally. It stopped (after I
reinstalled?), so I didn't follow up with this note from Bram

Hey, I just found Ctrl-Shift-6 can be used to move between
buffers. The alternative for :e # is supposed to be CTRL-^,

I'll have to try Ctrl-Shift-6 on the PC keyboard now.
