Plugin for NeoVim to display and switch to a buffer. (also my first nvim plugin)
- Every buffer will get a timestamp when opened
- Timestamps will be updated when you switch to the buffer
- Buffers are sorted by their timestamps
- The switched/current buffer will always be the second on the list. This is because you don't want to switch to the current buffer
- The previous buffer will be the first. This is for quick access/switch between two frequently used buffers
Using packer.nvim
-- In packer.lua add
use 'ArmanHZ/nvim-select-buffer'Create the selectbuffer.lua file in the /after/plugin directory and add the following lines:
-- In /after/plugin/selectbuffer.lua file
local select_buffer = require("select-buffer")
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>bb", select_buffer.main) -- You can use any keybinding you want- (Refactoring) Clean the code and add some color to the display
