bufferline.nvim VS neovim

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.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
