grapple.nvim VS vim-bufsurf

There's also grapple.nvim which is similar, but with a stronger focus on "marking"

Last week I posted about a full rewrite of Portal.nvim. Along with several new features, it became far easier to tie in with existing lists. So, today I wanted to showcase a couple new builtins: integrations with grapple.nvim and harpoon!

I prefer specifying a set of files and cycling between them. Plugins like grapple.nvim or harpoon are great for easily switching between a few project-specific files.

That was a good reminder for me to update grapple.nvim! A couple notes about the showcase:

Repo: https://github.com/cbochs/grapple.nvim

I received lots of great feedback on an experimental plugin that I showcased recently called cbochs/grapple.nvim. It got me thinking about what I was really trying to achieve with grapple.nvim and how it would differentiate itself from existing plugins (e.g. harpoon).

Custom lualine component (from showcase): https://github.com/cbochs/grapple.nvim/wiki/Lualine

I use https://github.com/ton/vim-bufsurf and map it to the ; and ' keys to navigate back/forward through a window's history like a browser would work. Other than that I use :Neotree buffers to browse through my list of open buffers.

The way I jump around buffers is a mix of https://github.com/ton/vim-bufsurf to navigate history within each window, and neo-tree filesystem / buffers in "current" position to change buffers within a window otherwise.

Here are some plugins that I find useful: * Telescope, obviously. * BufSurf lets you navigate history within a window like you would in a web browser. I absolutely love this one! * Neotree Which is my own plugin that has features to enable this style of buffer management.

https://github.com/ton/vim-bufsurf, which allows me to navigate back/forward through the history of buffers I have viewed in a given window. This is so amazing because it takes no planning and is completely intuitive.
