VIM bufferlist
This is an implementation of EMACS bufferlist for Vim or Neovim.
About
Upon keypress this script display a nice list of buffers on the left, which can be selected with mouse or keyboard. As soon as a buffer is selected (Return, double click) the list disappears.
The selection can be cancelled with the same key that is configured to open the
list or by pressing q
. Movement key and mouse (wheel) should work as one
expects.
Buffers that are visible (in any window) are marked with *
, ones that are
modified are marked with +
.
To delete a buffer from the list (i.e. close the file) press d
.
Installation
As a Vundle user, add
Plugin 'roblillack/vim-bufferlist'
