Vim: ignore buffers open in other panes when cycling through buffers

Let's say I have two panes split vertically with multiple buffers open. I have file-a.txt/buffer 1 open in the left pane and my cursor is focused on the right pane. In the right pane I want to cycle through the remaining open buffers without going through file-a.txt/buffer 1.

That is, I want to ignore buffers open in other panes when cycling through buffers in another pane. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Simple solution is to check if buffer is opened in other window. If is, then just execute bnext again.

function! Bnext() abort
  bnext                                " Go to next buffer.
  if len(win_findbuf(bufnr('%'))) > 1  " If buffer opened in more than one window,
    call Bnext()                       "  then call func again to go to next one.
  endif
endfunction
nnoremap <leader>b :call Bnext()<CR>
