is there a way to use the a.vim plugin to switch between .h, .cxx and .txx files? Alternatively, can you provide another solution? The idea is to automagically switch from .h -> .txx -> .cxx at the press of a key.
A Big Thanks to both of you!

IIRC, with the latest versions of alternate, there is an option that tells the preferred extensions to use. Did you have a look in the doc/first comment lines of the plugin?

I had a quick look, but it seems to always alternate between two types of files, not cycle through more.

No, as I understand it, it's about the next file to open. cpp -> h/hpp/... ; h -> c/cpp/... However, the first opened file found will be used. That's to say, you may have to open all your file before you see any cycle.

Look for the lines in a.vim that contain AddAlternateExtensionMapping. The first argument is the extension of the current file, the second is a list of extensions of the file you'd like to switch to with :A. They are listed in order of preference. In your case, you'd have to set it up so that it would go in a cycle.
call <SID>AddAlternateExtensionMapping('h', 'txx,cxx')
call <SID>AddAlternateExtensionMapping('txx', 'cxx,h')
call <SID>AddAlternateExtensionMapping('cxx', 'h,txx')
So now you go from .h to .txx if it exists or .cxx if it doesn't.
