How do I display buffers in emacs without any keystroke?

Usually I work with multiple files. SO, I don't want to remember which files I opened and also I find it painful to hit a key to list what all files I opened. So, is there any way in emacs/spacemacs which shows me opened files in status bar all the time?

C-x C-b (command list-buffers). And leave that buffer list open in a separate frame. It will always show you the available buffers (normal buffers that you are interested in, anyway).

Depending on your Emacs, you might need to load library buff-menu first. Put this in your init file: (require 'buff-menu). You can also call list-buffers from your init file. And you can put it in its own, special frame by customizing special-display-buffer-names (or display-buffer-alist, if you are a masochist).

(There is also the output of command ibuffer, but it sounds like list-buffers is what you are really after.)
