Introduction

Goal

Wheel is a plugin for Vim or Neovim aimed at managing buffer groups.

In short, it let you organize your buffers by creating as many buffer groups as you need, add the buffers you want to it and quickly navigate between :

• Buffers of the same group
• Buffer groups

Note that :

• A location contains a name, a filename, as well as a line & column number
• A buffer group, in fact a location group, is called a circle
• A set of buffer groups, or a category, is called a torus (a circle of circles)
• The list of toruses is called the wheel
