barbar.nvim VS bufferline.nvim

considering your vscode background when you say tabs your really mean buffers( Trust me even i had this problem when I made the switch). So your solution here is using a plugin. There are many but I personally use barbar.nvim

Nice! I personally use barbar.nvim's : BufferCloseAllButVisible which closes all buffers that aren't currently visible in a window.

There has been discussion of adding that feature to upstream barbar.nvim, but no concrete work has begun yet.

I'm using barbar.nvim, a simple but efficient bufferline plugin.

LuaLS has trouble identifying vim functions. I just went through and annotated a bunch of functions with doc comments in a project to help it figure things out.

I use barbar.nvim for displaying buffers as tabs and whenever I feel like I have too many open I run :BufferCloseAllButVisible (from a mapping), and it closes every buffer except those I have currently visible

i use barbar

So, I'm using bufferline and I want to setup some highlight colors based on the current Neovim theme (light or dark). While Neovim is working, if I run :lua print(vim.o.background) effectively gives me light or dark according to the current Neovim theme. BUT, doing so in the plugin's configuration does not work:

if you use bufferline you can override with: lua options = { offsets = { { filetype = "NvimTree", text = "File Explorer", text\_align = "center" } } }

I’m not familiar with Nvchad but I’m sure they’re using some kind of plugin that show buffers as tabs, you could try something like bufferline.nvim

there are many ways to achieve that. i recommend bufferline.

🧩 Works with any plugin. Check Show and Tell for snippets to integrate even better with plugins like neo-tree.nvim, bufferline.nvim

Left and right arrows to switch between buffers. I used to pair this with giving every buffer its own tab, but now I just use Bufferline which functions similarly.

I'm currently using bufferline.nvim with scope.nvim. I made a github repo with the modifications and credits to Everblush, but I'm not sure if it's allowed, since Everblush doesn't have a License. If It's not allowed, then I'll just delete the repo and forke the Everblush repo.

I used bufferline https://github.com/akinsho/bufferline.nvim

I believe this bug was fixed in bufferline.nvim's PR#727.
