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!

It is said that vim is not suitable for C/C++, especially big C/C++ projects. and the best way to write C/C++ is to use an IDE like qt-creator , clion or vs.
Vim is a well-known and mature text editor that is highly efficient at editing code. It is often referred to as a “Programmer's editor” but in practice, it can be used for all kinds of text editing.
Vim (vi improved) is a text editor, in which you can create and modify your code (be it C++, Java, shell scripts, grocery lists - whatever text files you care to edit).
Personally I'd say VS Code. If you aren't already used to VIM, you'll find VS Code much easier to use and hence you will be more productive. If you want to really take the time to get used to it, then VIM can be customized to do what you want. That's my thinking if you're trying to write a lot of code.
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.
