nvim-traveller-buffer

Better management for buffers (using Telescope), great to use in combination with a project plugin like (project.nvim / nvim-traveller.nvim)

showcase.mp4

Why use it?

• If you work with multiple projects, the buffer overview can get clogged up quickly using the builtin buffer view, but with this plugin it won't.
• It integrates with harpoon, so you don't need to consciously stay on top of adding / removing buffers from the list.
• Separates (project buffers / other buffers / term buffers)

Features

• Tabbing through types of buffer overview
• Deleting buffers from the list
• Sort based on last time used
• Keep a maximum of buffers (20)
• Add to/Remove from harpoon list (optional)
• Custom mapping options
