A buffer switcher in the spirit of dirvish or vinegar.
Opens a buffer list in the current window, so you can select a buffer to display in the same window.
As you switch buffers it sets the alternate buffer to the previous
buffer so you can always swap between the last to buffers with c-^.
Map some key to :Buffish<CR> or to require("buffish").open()
or type it.
If you want to use shortcuts (see below) also map a key to
require("buffish.shortcuts").follow()
The list of filenames in open buffers.
Why only show the filename? Because it's quicker for visual identification.
If more than one filename matches, then it will include as much of the
path that is necessary to make them unique. For example, if you have
this/thing.txt and long/path/that/thing.txt open, it will show
this/thing.txt and that/thing.txt. The full path is still available
if you switch to visual mode, or yank the line.
It's sorted with the most recently used file at the top (which is the one you're leaving) to least recently used at the bottom.
It automatically starts with the cursor on the 2nd line (if there is one), so you can easily switch back and forth between two buffers.
The buffer number will be right aligned if you need it.
Mappings in the list:
<CR>to switch to the bufferddtobdthat bufferqto close without switchingsto open that buffer in a split either horizontally or vertically, depending on how much space you haveato assigned a shortcut to this buffer (next key you type will be shortcut)rto remove the shortcut from that buffer
Also the line contains the full path so you can also yy to get the
full path to the file, or use visual mode and yank a portion the normal
way, etc.
Shortcuts are meant to be mnemonic like m, v, c to go to
your model, view, and controller respectively, or positional like q,
w,e, r, etc.
Whatever helps you connect your fingers to particular buffers.
Map a key to require("buffish.shortcuts").follow()
After you hit the mapped follow key, hit the key for the shortcut that you assigned.
