buffcounts.nvim

this plugin aims to improve clarity for each opened buffer, providing a clear ranking for the most opened buffers.

• enhance workflow clarity
• easy to re-open buffer with tools like telescope.nvim
• respect long directory path or filename (one level parent dir)
• respect main content width view (not hiding the actual viewed content below)

installation

lazy.nvim

return {
  -- ...
  {
    "naranyala/buffcounts.nvim",
    config = function()
      require("buffcounts").setup {
        min_width = 25,
        max_width = 80,
      }

      -- reset every open project and show the sidebar/panel
      vim.cmd [[BuffCountsReset]]
      vim.cmd [[BuffCountsToggle]]
    end
  }
  -- ...

there is three main command:

• BuffCountsToggle: toggle show/hide sidebar or panel
