Every file, process, etc has it's own buffer, and you may always switch
buffers with C-x b in any window. You might wish to explore tools like
helm-buffers which will autocomplete name of buffers from an interactive
list as you type. You may also bind functions `previous-buffer' and
`next-buffer' to a keybinding for easier navigation.
For example I use F10 to go to previous buffer, and S-F10 to next
buffer. I usually just tap F10 quickly to navigate list of buffers.
