vim-buftabline VS bufferline.nvim

I use buftabline and treat them like tabs in a graphical editor.

You’re right, I essentially built my own plugin. And I know could use a plugin like vim-buftabline or vim-buffet to accomplish a similar look.

ap/vim-buftabline for buffer line

You can see your buffer list with :ls, :b (note the space), or with a plugin like vim-buftabline (ap/vim-buftabline: Forget Vim tabs – now you can have buffer tabs)

this and ctrl+p with https://github.com/ap/vim-buftabline

ap/vim-buftabline can display the buffer number which you can use in :bN commands, no idea if it works in neovim. But I most often use tab completion in a :b command.

It's also not a (super) new idea – my plugin is just a Lua ripoff of [vim-buftabline](https://github.com/ap/vim-buftabline), which had its first commit in 2014, and I think Airline may have had it before then.

I like to use Buftabline https://github.com/ap/vim-buftabline and set the next/prev tab to /

In this plugin wishlist thread, I mentioned how I'd like to see an implementation of vim-buftabline in Lua. -olivier directed me to his plugin, nvim-bufbar, and encouraged me to use it as a base.

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.
