Features

Which buffer to show in window(s) after its current buffer is removed is decided by the algorithm:

  • If alternate buffer is listed, use it.
  • If previous listed buffer is different, use it.
  • Otherwise create a scratch one with nvim_create_buf(true, true) and use it.

Installation

This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (recommended) or as a standalone Git repository.

There are two branches to install from:

  • main (default, recommended) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).
  • stable will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in main branch.

Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):

With mini.deps
Github repo Branch Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library Main Follow recommended 'mini.deps' installation
Stable
Standalone plugin Main add('echasnovski/mini.bufremove')
Stable add({ source = 'echasnovski/mini.bufremove', checkout = 'stable' })
With folke/lazy.nvim
Github repo Branch Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library Main { 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', version = false },
Stable { 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', version = '*' },
Standalone plugin Main { 'echasnovski/mini.bufremove', version = false },
Stable { 'echasnovski/mini.bufremove', version = '*' },
With junegunn/vim-plug
Github repo Branch Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library Main Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim'
Stable Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', { 'branch': 'stable' }
Standalone plugin Main Plug 'echasnovski/mini.bufremove'
Stable Plug 'echasnovski/mini.bufremove', { 'branch': 'stable' }

Important: no need to call require('mini.bufremove').setup(), but it can be done to improve usability.

Note: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like error: unable to create file <some file name>: Filename too long). Try doing one of the following:

  • Enable corresponding git global config value: git config --system core.longpaths true. Then try to reinstall.
  • Install plugin in other place with shorter path.

Default config

-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
  -- Whether to set Vim's settings for buffers (allow hidden buffers)
  set_vim_settings = true,

  -- Whether to disable showing non-error feedback
  silent = false,
}
