vim-buftabline VS nvim-cokeline

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.

I'm trying to use it to render it in a cokeline component, I want to hide only the very first letter when I'm picking a buffer, so I can show the pick_letter instead. Everytime the filename starts with one of those special multibyte characters (pretty much never), the buffername gets a weird character.

Cokeline (bufferbar) to see which buffers are loaded and close the ones i don't need

I've looked at Heirline a few times but I just can't get past not really understanding why I would use this over other tablines. There are a metric shitload of possibilities but I am a simple man. The lack of images on the repo makes it difficult for me as a perspective user, to look at the repo and decide if I want to use this or not. Given that Heirline is focused around a UI piece of neovim, whats your thoughts on getting a sort of "Gallery" put together to show what can be done with Heirline? Something akin to how cokeline.nvim or barbar.nvim handles this?

They is me :) I use cokeline

New merge to master that now provides support for is_first and is_last components

May I interest you in some?

Hi everyone! I recently switched nvim-cokeline to semantic versioning and v0.1.0 has been released a few days ago. The plugin has had a ton of improvements since my last post, just to name a few:

My main goal at this stage is to get as many people as possible to check out the project and give feedback for further development. If you're currently using some plugin that offers similar functionality, consider checking cokeline.nvim out!

Check it out at noib3/cokeline.nvim!

Check it out on noib3/cokeline.nvim and let me know if you like it! Feedback is greatly appreciated :)
