TL;DR

This plugin manages the only [No Name] buffer as a replacement to achieve layout-preserving buffer-deletion.

Intro.

The main function of this plugin is lua require('neo-no-name').neo_no_name(cmd_bn, cmd_bp), where both params are optional(default to bn, bp, resp.)

Two facts:

• call lua require('neo-no-name').neo_no_name(cmd_bn, cmd_bp) at non-[No Name] buffer
  • will change the current buffer to the only one [No Name] buffer
  • if the only one [No Name] buffer does not exist, it will be created
• call lua require('neo-no-name').neo_no_name(cmd_bn, cmd_bp) at [No Name] buffer
  • will delete the previous buffer
  • and jump to the next buffer of the just-deleted buffer(by providing both cmd_bn, cmd_bp, you can define your own "the next buffer")

Install

use {
  'nyngwang/NeoNoName.lua',
  config = function ()
    vim.keymap.set('n', '<M-w>', function () vim.cmd('NeoNoName') end, {slient=true, noremap=true, nowait=true})
    -- If you are using bufferline.nvim
    -- vim.keymap.set('n', '<M-w>', function () vim.cmd('NeoNoNameBufferline') end, {slient=true, noremap=true, nowait=true})
  end
}
