set hidden (Score:1)
With 'nohidden' set, Vim discards the buffer when you leave it. It loses all its session data, like the undo stack. It's also slower if you switch a lot, because it rereads the file to open the buffer when you switch back to a discarded buffer.
If you set 'hidden' Vim will keep the buffer around when you leave it. You won't lose anything, except a little memory for the buffer to live in.
