vim-buftabline VS fzf.vim

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.

Fuzzy Finder: fzf.vim (for its speed) along with telescope.nvim (for its ecosystem)

And added my keyboard shortcuts.

There are two plugins allowing us to use fzf in Vim: the native fzf plugin directly installed with fzf, and fzf.vim. The second plugin is built on the first one.

You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette.

You'll also need https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim (which is imo the only vim plugin that's a must).

I do all my file operations from the command line. But to open and search files I use fzf

Regarding plugins , I am using https://github.com/Donaldttt/fuzzyy because it works in windows, unlike https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

There's a :Buffers command in fzf.vim that I use extensively. It opens a fuzzy-find window with all open buffers in a MRU list.

Thanks to fzf.vim and fzf-lua, everything I learned and copied is from them.

they're likely referring to fzf.vim, the vimscript plugin from the original fzf author that wraps around fzf. there's also fzf-lua nowadays.
