Alternatively, you can use quit-window that allow to quit window without
killing buffer (with arg t, it will quit and kill buffer)

,----[ C-h f quit-window RET ]
| quit-window is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `window.el'.
| 
| 
| (quit-window &optional kill window)
| 
| Quit the current buffer.  Bury it, and maybe delete the selected frame.
| (The frame is deleted if it contains a dedicated window for the buffer.)
| With a prefix argument, kill the buffer instead.
| 
| Noninteractively, if kill is non-nil, then kill the current buffer,
| otherwise bury it.
| 
| If window is non-nil, it specifies a window; we delete that window,
| and the buffer that is killed or buried is the one in that window.
