Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have considerable muscle memory for :bX commands

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to be able to use :bX commands like in VIM

Describe alternatives you've considered
Ctrl+tab, etc.

Additional context
It looks like none of the :bX commands have been implemented, though :bd was started and has still has an open issue.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing command handling for :b# and the open :bd issue (#3638), then compare the requested :bX behavior with Vim's buffer commands. Done means the relevant :b# commands work in VS Code Vim and existing navigation alternatives remain unaffected.
