Type "2" and press <Enter> to edit the second file.
+If you know that the filename contains a pattern, you can also |:filter| the
+list of files: >

+ :filter /resume/ :browse oldfiles

+Since there is only one single matching filename, Vim will directly edit that
+file without prompting. If the filter matches several files, you'll get
+prompted for the list of matching files instead: >

+ :filter! /resume/ browse oldfiles

+ Type number and <Enter> (q or empty cancels): ~
