nvim-bufmode

nvim-bufmode is a plugin that provides a new mode in Neovim for managing buffers.

Installation

Either use packadd or any package manager. I recommend using lazy.nvim.

Requirements

• Neovim 0.7+
• nvim-libmodal

Examples

lazy.nvim:

{'Iron-E/nvim-bufmode',
  cmd = 'BufmodeEnter', -- don't load until using this command
  config = true, -- automatically call `bufmode.setup()`; not needed if you specify `opts`
  dependencies = {
    'Iron-E/nvim-libmodal',
    -- 'akinsho/bufferline.nvim', (optional)
    -- 'romgrk/barbar.nvim', (optional)
  },
  keys = {{'<Leader>b', desc = 'Enter buffer mode', mode = 'n'}}, -- don't load until pressing these keys
  -- opts = {}, (put `setup` options here, e.g. `opts = {enter_mapping = false}`
},

Other examples:

• dein.vim:
  • Add call dein#add('https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-bufmode') to ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
  • :call dein#install()
• NeoBundle:
  • Add NeoBundle 'https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-bufmode' to ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
  • Re-open vim or execute :source ~/.vimrc
• vim-plug:
  • Add Plug 'https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-bufmode' to ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
  • :PlugInstall or $ vim +PlugInstall +qall
• Vundle:

Configuration

To customize the plugin, set vim.g.bufmode_mappings before loading it, or call setup after:

let g:bufmode_mappings = {
  \ '$': 'blast',
  \ '0': 'bfirst',
  \ '?': 'help bufmode-usage',
  \ 'b': 'bprevious',
  \ 'd': 'silent! bdelete',
  \ 'w': 'bnext',
}

require('bufmode').setup {
  enter_mapping = '<leader>b', -- false to disable
  bufferline = false, -- add bufferline.nvim keymaps
  barbar = false, -- add barbar.nvim keymaps
  keymaps = { -- defaults:
    ['$'] = 'blast',
    ['0'] = 'bfirst',
    ['?'] = 'help bufmode-usage',
    ['b'] = 'bprevious',
    ['d'] = 'silent! bdelete',
    ['w'] = 'bnext',
  }
}
