A command to list buffers and prepare command line for next instruction

Question

I want to reduce the amount of effort to list the buffers, select a buffer and either remove it or show it.

At present I need to do the following :ls > [Select the desired buffer] > :<Command>

I want to create this command and then map it ,b so I only need to press ,b and have the command line ready for me to use <buffer number>bw or <buffer number>b of which the number I can select from the already presented list.

Answer 1
